During the 1920s and 1930s, the Soviet government forcibly transferred thousands of Chinese nationals and ethnic Chinese citizens from the USSR to Almaty, Kazakhstan. Meanwhile, the remainder were sent out of the country (USSR) to China. A number of memoirists mention the tight organization of the Chinese in the Soviet Gulag system. Many had landed in the Soviet forced labor camps (Gulag) accidentally. Some were the "Soviet" ethnic Chinese who were born in the USSR. While others were legal guest workers or the unfortunate few who had accidentally crossed over the Chinese–Soviet border in the Russian Far East and the Zabaikal regions. Most of the deportees were deported to the Chinese province of Xinjiang and Soviet-controlled Central Asia. Although there were more than 70,000 Chinese living in the Russian Far East in 1926, the Chinese had become almost extinct in the region by the 1940s. To date, the detailed history of the removal of the Chinese diaspora in the Russian Far East requires more research and more articles to be written. The Chinese archives and the Russian/Soviet "off-limits" archives with materials on sensitive subject matters need to be opened for scholars to peruse. To date, there are eight major research articles on the Soviet Chinese deportation of 1937-1939. Two are newspaper articles written with data from the archives. The eight articles are: Karin-Irene Eiermann's "The Fate of the Chinese Population in Soviet Russia (2007)," GuangMing Yin's "A Historical Study of the Soviet Union's Handling of the Chinese Issue in the Far East (2016)," This is Yin's research paper translated in English. Ablazhey and Potapova's "Repressive Policy as a Tool of Resolving the 'Chinese Issue,' ", Vladimir Baturov's "The Repression of the Chinese in Stalin's Soviet Union," E.G Kalkaev's "The Place of Repression against the Chinese in the 'National' Operations of the NKVD," and Jon K. Chang's "Battling for Equality (2025)." The remaining two articles on the Chinese deportation were written by Elena N. Chernolutskaia.
