SUMMARY:MODERN CHINA LECTURE SERIES FEATURING Sören Urbanksy - Beyond the Steppe Frontier: A History of the Sino-Russian border
DESCRIPTION:Read the transcript of the event here. \nSpeaker: Sören Urbanksy\, Research Fellow\, German Historical Institute Washington \nThe Sino-Russian border\, once the world’s longest land border\, was special in many ways. It not only divided the two largest Eurasian empires\, it was also the place where European and Asian civilizations met\, where nomads and sedentary people mingled\, where the imperial interests of Russia and later the Soviet Union clashed with those of Qing and Republican China and Japan\, and where the world’s two largest Communist regimes hailed their friendship and staged their enmity. In this talk\, Sören Urbansky will discuss his recent book\, Beyond the Steppe Frontier: A History of the Sino-Russian border\, which examines the demarcation’s remarkable transformation—from a vaguely marked frontier in the seventeenth century to its twentieth-century incarnation as a tightly patrolled barrier girded by watchtowers\, barbed wire\, and border guards. \nPart of the Modern China Lecture Series \nPresented via Zoom Webinar
