Cooperation between the USSR and China and its reflection in socio-cultural sources: historical aspect

Abstract

After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, diplomatic relations were established between China and the USSR on October 2. On February 4, 1950, China and the Soviet Union officially signed the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance - the so-called “honeymoon” of Sino-Soviet relations began. For the first time in the scientific discourse, the issues of socio-cultural cooperation between the USSR and the People’s Republic of China in the historical aspect and their impact on today’s Russian-Chinese relations are investigated in this article.
