Foreign Economic Policy of the Far Eastern Republic and its Impact on Regional Power Arrangement, 1920 -1922

This study is devoted to the foreign economic policy of the Far Eastern Republic and its impact on regional power arrangement between 1920 and 1922 through the prism of concession policy. This type of policy became possible due to the decisions of the party elites and especially Lenin, to attract foreign capital with the purpose of development and the rise of the economic situation. In addition, concessions are analyzed from the point of view of international-political aspect. It was one of the ways to influence inter-state relations, the governments of the RSFSR and the FER had hoped for a reinterpretation of the Soviet state on the world stage and restoring trade relations. In the period of the 1920s, it was believed that the concession policy can play a role of a deterrent from the beginning of hostilities against the Soviet state. Emphasis will be placed on the concession granted to the United States as a major deterrent to the aggressive policy of Japan in the far East. The draft concessions were not considered in the aggregate not as a single policy pursued by the government of the RSFSR and the FER in the region, but as the individual projects serve to achieve certain goals.
