Far Eastern Republic: from idea to liquidation
19.99 €
In April 1920, a new state, known as the Far Eastern Republic (FER), emerged in the Russian Far East. Formally independent and ostensibly embodying the ideas of Siberian regionalism, it was under Bolshevik control. But was the FAR only a conduit of their policy?
Ivan Sablin's study covers the history of the Far East in the 1900-1920s and is devoted to the coexistence and competition of different views on the future of the region in this period. Nationalist scenarios linked this future to the interests of one group of the local population: Russians, Buryat-Mongols, Koreans, Ukrainians, and others. Imperialist projects attempted to integrate the region into the political and economic zones of influence of Japan and the United States. The Bolsheviks saw the Far East as a springboard for exporting revolution to Mongolia, Korea, China, and Japan. Proponents of regionalist (regionalist) ideas aimed at independence or broad regional autonomy for Siberia and the Far East. At the intersection of these scenarios, the FAR, which existed for only two years, appeared. The author analyzes the multi-vector political activity in the region and explains the reasons for the victory of the Bolshevik version of state imperial nationalism.
