Shanghai Russians

The Shanghai Russians, a sizable part of the Russian diaspora, flourished in Shanghai, China, between the World Wars. By 1937 an estimated up to 25,000 Russians lived in the city; they formed the largest European group there by far. Most of them had come from the Russian Far East, where, with the support of the Japanese, the Whites had maintained a presence as late as the autumn of 1922.
