SOVIET PERSONALITIES IN CHINA, FEBRUARY 1951 - 25 DECEMBER. 1952
fomment: This report lists the names of Soviet advisers,
officially working with the Chinese Communists, that have been
noted in the Chinese Communist mainland press and periodicals
over the period February 1951 - December 1952. Brief notes
accompany the names to indicate their respective fields of
service. Detailed information about certain individual spe-
cialists has been published from time to time in regular
reports on specific subjects. The largest number of persons
whose names appear on this list were concerned with railway
transportation; others were concerned with mechanical and
industrial engineering, water conservation, and agricultural
activities.
It should be noted that in the Chinese press these Russian
names appeared in Chinese characters which approximate the
sound of the Russian names. The transliterated Russian names
are, therefore, followed by a rendition, in parentheses, of the
Chinese characters according to the Wade-Giles system.
Numbers in parentheses refer to appended sources
