Can what has been lost come back from the changes of ethnic structure in Russia's Far East?

In fact, Russia's migration to the Far East began as early as1at the beginning of the eighth century, but the large-scale action began after the serfdom reform in 186 1.

After the Russian occupation of China's Far East, it took violent measures such as killing and expelling the ethnic groups who had settled and hunted here for generations, which led to a sharp decline in the number of local residents and was on the verge of extinction. At the same time, Russians continue to flow here to fill the missing population.

186 1 in March, the Russian government began to encourage landless farmers and industrial personnel from other classes to move to Amur and Binhai provinces at their own expense, and provided some preferential policies for this purpose, such as allocating land for free use, exempting poll tax and military service.

Starting from 1882, the official sea migration policy was implemented, and people were encouraged to take root and settle in Heilongjiang and Wusuli River basins by providing travel expenses, family expenses, food and agricultural equipment.

1904 After the completion of the Trans-Siberian Railway, it provided far eastern immigrants with more convenient land transportation than before. Since then, the scale of Siberian immigrants has increased sharply, digesting the relative surplus population in Russia and Europe due to the high concentration of land and the liberation of village communities.

186 1 In the nearly 60 years after the reform, the population * * * who moved to the Far East was more than 400,000. The family relocation of a large number of Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians not only increased the population and labor force in the Far East, but also changed the ethnic structure.

188 1 year, Russians began to occupy an absolute advantage in the far east, reaching 57.9%. At 19 16, the proportion rose to 82.3 1%. After years of migration from Russia to the Far East, the residents in the Far East have become Russianized (the change of Russians in Amur province is also quite telling, 1897 accounted for 67.47%, 103000 people, 19 1 year rose to more than 242000 people).

China lost territory in the Far East, which is roughly equivalent to more than half of the Primorsky Krai, Sakhalin Prefecture and Jewish Autonomous Prefecture in today's Russian administrative divisions, and most of the Amur and Khabarovsk Krai. The main ethnic groups in the above five administrative divisions are Russians, accounting for more than 90%, as follows:

1) Sakhalin Island

The total population is about 500 thousand. Among them, 84.3% are Russians, 5.4% are Koreans, 4.0% are Ukrainians, 65,438+0.25% are Tatars and 65,438+0.0% are Belarusians.

2) Khabarovsk Krai

By 20 15, the total population will be 1338600. Among them, 90. 1% is Russian, 4.2% is Ukrainian, 0.8% is Belarusian and 0.8% is Tatar.

3) Amur region

The total population is about 6.5438+0.05 million. Among them, 86.8% are Russians, 6.7% are Ukrainians, 1.7% are Belarusians and 0.9% are Tatars.

4) Utah Autonomous Prefecture

The total population is about 6.5438+0.9 million. Among them, 83.2% are Russian, 4.2% are Jewish, 7.4% are Ukrainian, 1% are Belarusian and 0.7% are Tatar.

As can be seen from the above, the residents of China Far East sought by Russia are all Russians, which can be said to have killed China's hope to some extent. Different people have different views on the specific impact.
