Extended information:

The Russian Far East covers an area of ??6.2159 million square kilometers and had a population of 6.29 million in 2010. Since ancient times, more than 30 ethnic groups of different sizes have thrived here. Although their development levels are very different, they all made their own contributions to the creation of ancient civilization in this region.

These peoples belong to the Ugor-Finnish language family, the Turkic language family, the Manchu-Tungusic language family and the Ancient Asiatic language family. Their religious beliefs in ancient times were totem worship and primitive shamanism. Later, foreign Tibetan Buddhism, Islam and Orthodox Christianity were gradually accepted.

On January 26, 2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin supported the free donation of land to residents in the Far East. Experts believe that after the promulgation of this law, Chinese immigrants will greatly increase in the Far East, and the Russian Far East will become the main region exporting green food to China.

The Far East refers to central and eastern Siberia. The name "Siberia" comes from "Xianbei Lia", which is derived from the Xianbei nation, one of the ethnic groups in northern China. Siberia has been the living area of ??Chinese nomads since ancient times. During the Tang Dynasty, central and southern Siberia, including Lake Baikal, was first included in the territory of China. The Outer Xing'an Mountains in southeastern Siberia and the area to the north were included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty after the mid-Tang Dynasty.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Han people immigrated to the Northeast and became the dominant ethnic group in the Northeast. This ensured the centripetal force of the Northeast towards China and became the strongest force to consolidate the Northeast's border defense. Because Jiangdong Sixty-Four Villages had been cultivated by the Han for many years, the Treaty of Aihui specifically stated that Chinese people had the right to live in Jiangdong Sixty-Four Villages and the Qing government had jurisdiction over the people there.

However, the Qing Dynasty did not have sovereignty over this area. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Russians broke the contract and drove the Han and Oroqen residents of the area into Heilongjiang and drowned or killed them. This was the tragedy of Jiangdong No. 64 Village! The Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai, the Beiyang warlords and the Kuomintang regime all refused to recognize the occupation of Jiangdong 64th Village and insisted that it be part of Chinese territory.

In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, and Tsarist Russia took advantage of the situation, occupied the entire Northeast, and implemented colonial rule. In 1905, Japan defeated Tsarist Russia, seized the southern part of Sakhalin Island, the southern part of the Kuril Islands, and controlled Jilin and Liaoning. Later, the south of Heilongjiang entered the Zhang Zuolin period, and north of Heilongjiang, the Far Eastern Republic of China was established on April 6, 1920 (withdrawn and merged with Soviet Russia on November 5, 1922), and Japan controlled the entire Kuril Islands.

In 1931, Japan occupied Northeast China and established the puppet "Manchukuo", confronting the Soviet Union in Heilongjiang. The Soviet Union drove away or killed the Han people in the Far East, and forcibly moved the Korean people in the Far East to Central Asia. In 1945, the Soviet Union retook the southern part of Sakhalin Island from Japan and occupied the entire Kuril Islands (including the four northern islands of Japan).

The Sayan Range-Lake Baikal-Transkhinggan Range-Sakhalin Island is the life and soul of the Russian Far East. It is the population center, resource center, and economic center of Russia in Asia, and it is also the continent of the Pacific Fleet. rely on. Without these territories, Russia would lose convenient transportation links with Kamchatka and the Aleutians, and the security of Northeast Asia would not be guaranteed at all.
