“…In 1912, the Republic of China replaced the Qing Empire, the last imperial dynasty of China, while the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) came into being in 1922 after the collapse of the Russian Empire. In the HLJ-RFE region, this period witnessed the rise and the defeat of the anti-Communism White governments during the Civil War in Siberia (1918)(1919)(1920), and the establishment (1920) and the disappearance (1922) of the Far Eastern Republic-a buffer state that protected Soviet Russia from Japanese aggression (Baksheev et al, 2020;Pereira, 1987). Although the border saw the foundation of the Manchukuo (a puppet state of the Empire of Japan) in 1932, the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, and the Russian Federation in 1991, turbulent regime changes on both sides of the border within a short period of time only occurred in the early 20th century.…”

The resurgence of sovereign states in a highly globalized modern world calls for new approaches to border studies. The present paper suggests looking at political, sociocultural and economic borders as constructs of dynamic boundaries influencing people’s interactions. Through an oral history of a mixed Sino-Russian ethnic community, and a narrative review of smugglers and shuttle traders, this study examines how the flux of the political border between the Heilongjiang province and the Russian Far East (HLJ-RFE political border) changed the sociocultural and economic borders during three periods: the 1910s-1920s, the 1960s-1970s, and the 2000s-2010s, when the political border was characterized as being porous, hostile, and friendly, respectively. The study shows that the HLJ-RFE political border had a strong impact on limiting the sociocultural demarcation, but a much weaker effect on facilitating sociocultural interactions and economic regulations. The results of the study demonstrate how a strong and friendly political border may lose its potency when utilized by the local government to facilitate interethnic integration. Furthermore, the study warrants an interdisciplinary approach to border studies and a region-oriented methodology.

This paper is devoted to perception of the February Revolution, the October revolution and the Civil War in Russia in Canadian historiography. The paper considers, firstly, works of historians - Canadian citizens, secondly, works of scientists from other countries who have worked in Canada for a long time and, thirdly, works of foreigners, who published in Canadian scientific journals. All of the above works can be divided into three groups. Firstly, these are fundamental works on the history of the Russian Revolution and Civil War. Secondly, these are works devoted to foreign intervention in Russia and Canadian participation of Canada in this intervention. Thirdly, these are works relating to other particular aspects of this subject. The authors of all considered works refer to the February Revolution as an important step for democracy in Russia. Canadian historiography mainly condemns the October Revolution and criticizes Bolsheviks for authoritarianism and radicalism. The attitude of Canadian scientists to the White Guards is ambiguous. On the one hand, there is a certain sympathy for the Whites as allies of the Entente (and Canada). But on the other hand, the Whites are condemned for their ill-conceived domestic policies and for inability to reach a compromise with each other. The Canadian historiography of the 1917-1922 events in Russia is now practically unexplored, and therefore it is of scientific interest.
