From botany to geology: Russian study of northeast China (1946-1954)

The article is devoted to the activities of the Harbin Society of Naturalists and Ethnographers (HOEE, founded in 1946), which was registered with the Society of Soviet Citizens in Harbin and its leaders, who became the last Russian emigrant researchers in China (B.V. Skvortsov, A.G. Malyavkin, VN. Alin, I.G. and A.I. Baranov, VI. Kuzmin, G.I. Razzhigaev, VS. Starikov, A.M. Smirnov, and others), who made a great contribution to the study of northeast China. Their research results were published in the "Notes of the Harbin Society of Naturalists and Ethnographers" (Harbin, 1946-1954. 14 vol.). The HOEE was divided into sections: botany, zoology, agriculture, historical and ethnographic and geology. The organization maintained scientific ties with the Far Eastern Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The collection of the University of Hawaii and the Museum of Russian Culture in San Francisco, as well as literature found in other Russian and foreign collections, including private collections, was used to prepare the article.
