This is Harbin, China. This used to be an important city for the Russian empire as a large population of Russians lived here. Why did they leave Harbin? Why were they there in the first place?

I'm from Harbin and so glad to see this video. My family is Manchurian who are the indigenous people of this area. My elder brothers and sisters studied Russian rather than English at school as the second language about 30 years ago, and there are some words in our dialect which are phonetically translated from Russian, like "布拉吉" for "платье" and "列巴“ for "хлеб". Russian culture and food have deeply affected Harbin that the mixture with local culture makes Harbin a unique presence in China cities. My mother told me that when she was young, she worked with Russian in the factory, and there were many many Russian people living and working in Harbin, also with Japanese and Korean. Harbin was one of the most important industrial cities between 1950 to about 2000 in China, but today for various reasons, the city is decaying with a large number of people leaving each year, I also moved to Shanghai for a better salary and living. So sad to see this happening, but I still love Harbin from the bottom of my heart❤.

By the end of his life, the whole family spoke Belarusian, and he and his wife (great-grandmother) spoke Russian.

You neglected to mention that Russia was one of several Western powers that imposed “unequal treaties” on China. Under the 1858 Treaty of Aigun, China had to cede 600,000 sq km (232,000 square miles, an area larger than France) of land to Russia, and under the 1860 Treaty of Peking, China forfeited a large chunk of its northeastern territories to Moscow. This was how Russia acquired the vast piece of land North of the Amur River and the important port of Vladivostok. Russia built the trans-siberian railway to connect Moscow to Vladivostock, and Harbin was developed to support the railway.

I’m not sure on the particular circumstances why her family moved to Harbin and then back. I know that they were merchants back in Russia. As private businesses like merchandising were essentially banned in the new Soviet Russia, and private capital was under dekulakization, this could have been the reason for them to flee Russia.

It's not only population, but also the quality of military leadership and the discipline of the armed forces. Russia's military has a long history of lacklustre leadership and undisciplined armed forces. They tended to do best against either much smaller, weaker enemies or in defensive campaigns. In this conflict, the Russian armed forces showed now zeal or desire to fight. The Japanese armed forces were highly disciplined and effective. The Russo-Japanese War was still hard-fought and Japan's victory was costly. It was ensured only because the Japanese were able to quickly outclass the Russian Pacific Fleet and sink it before support could come from the Baltic and Black Sea Fleets. The Japanese were further helped by Theodore Roosevelt stepping in and negotiating a peace in which Japan gained most of what it wanted and Russia wasn't entirely humiliated.

i went to this city in July 2023, Beijing was 38c so i needed to go somewhere cooler😅😅 tbh the history of this city is a bit sad, after 1949, i have no doubt all the Russians were either sent back to USSR or had to leave to HK or USA I highly recommend you visiting the Jewish Museum of Harbin 👍, it will give you a sense of what society was like in the 1910s -1930s now Harbin economy is just full of universities (i saw a lot of Russian students) and state owned enterprise also please visit the unit 731 museum in the outskirts of the city🙏🕯️ and if you are from Korea, you can visit the An Jung-guen museum near the train station

. More Chinese than Russian: The Russian Far East, Harbin, the whole of China’s 東北 are now free range territories for occupants of the region. No visa necessary for both sides, no border checkpoints, come and goes as please type scenario. Yes, this exchange got cozied up after the Xi-Putin no limits friendship announcement and that is why my bet is that a MERGER will be happen between the two in near future, within many of our lifetime and the capitals moved from Moscow and Beijing to one of the Stands to seal the merger. If in doubt about what I said, simply ask Joe. He probably visited this region when he visited China earlier in the year cuz this region is very close to Joe’s hometown of Yanji China. Metaphorically, nothing is keeping Russians from migrating back to their home country or move to China instead. That said, the Americans are the instigators of this free ranging life style this part of the globe. Thanks America! .
