Outline of Final Research Achievements

For the Soviet Union and Stalin, Manchuria and Mongolia had the significant meanings. They were not only the border regions with China and Japan but also the defense line for the Russian Far East. Stalin had faced many incidents and troubles with Japan and China in these regions. How he solved these questions? And How the domestic problems were inspired by these events? In this research project, I published the articles and books, considering the Siberian Intervention of Japan, Zhang Zuolin assassination incident, Mukden Incident, and battles of Khalkhin Gol.
