The attitude of Soviet citizens to the events on CER Railway in 1929
The article is devoted to the Soviet-Chinese armed conflict of 1929 and the reaction of the population to these events. The Chinese leadership in the 1920s, in violation of the Soviet-Chinese agreement on the joint management of the Chinese-Eastern railway, sought to sever relations with the USSR and seize the CER. The events of 1929 stirred up Soviet citizens, most of whom declared their readiness, if necessary, to protect the Soviet power. In the Soviet Far East, the former red partisans were primarily captured by the warlike moods. However, panic moods, as well as agitation against the power of the Soviets and hopes for its fall in the event of war, were quite common. Manifestations of discontent were associated primarily with poorly organized explanatory and educational work of local party and Soviet bodies.
