The Soviet Far East means Russia's.

It is important to know that the Soviet Union existed in the form of 15 republics, and the Russian Soviet, as the largest union republic of the Soviet Union, contained more than 6 million square kilometers of territory in the Far East. In other words, the Far East, as part of Russian territory, shares the same fate with Russia.

Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the independence of the Russian Federation, the Far East was included in Russia, not as an independent state**.

So there is no talk of the Soviet Far East at all**.

Moreover, there are two major characteristics of the Soviet Far East, which determine that it cannot go to the **.

First, the Far East is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no capital for the first place。As we all know, the most populous areas of the Soviet Union are in the European part, while the central and eastern regions of Siberia are almost all deserted "terra nullius" and "frozen lands", with barren land and cold climate, which is completely incomparable with the terrain of the Eastern European Plain in the west, and is not suitable for Soviet settlement.

As a result, the Soviet Union formed the concept of "emphasizing the west and ignoring the east" in the process of development, and vigorously invested in the construction of the western Soviet region, such as the industrial center, political center, economic center, and cultural center of the Soviet Union were all concentrated in the western part of the Soviet Union, while the Far East was completely ignored, except for port cities such as Vladivostok in Northeast Asia, the Soviet Union rarely devoted its energy to the Siberian Far East.

This is also an important factor in the backwardness and small population of the Far East.

Here I can give an example of how much the Soviet Union disliked the Far East. During World War II, Chechnya wanted independence, secretly eyeing Germany, trying to achieve the goal of separating from Soviet Russia, after Stalin knew about this, he was very angry, so he sent troops to drive hundreds of thousands of Chechens to the Siberian Far East, leaving them to fend for themselves, of which more than 100,000 Chechens died.

The Soviet Union's drive of Chechens to Siberia was a bit like the Qing Dynasty putting the criminals in Ningguta.

In such a Far East, there are no people, no money, no soldiers, and no soldiers, and in the absence of people, the people living in the Far East will not be able to make any big waves at all.

Second, the Soviet Union had a strong military and strangled the bud of the Far East。Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Far East of the Soviet Union has the most powerful region, it is difficult to say whether it can take the Far East out of the country.

We must not ignore the presence of a million-strong Soviet army, and in the air, the USSR had transport planes that could drop several army groups to the Siberian Far East in a short period of time;At sea, the Pacific Fleet and the Northern Fleet of the Soviet Union are the strongest naval forces, which can encircle the Far East from the Arctic Ocean and the North Pacific region, and can directly stifle the germ of the Far East.

Although Alaska of the United States faces the Soviet Far East across the sea, the United States does not dare to brazenly support the Soviet Far East, otherwise the Soviet Union may one day stage another "Cuban Missile Crisis" for the United States, so that the United States will not be able to eat and go around.

You must know that in the sixties and seventies of the last century, the Soviet Union maintained the world's largest nuclear arsenal, and the United States, Europe, and NATO together were not necessarily able to defeat the Soviet Union, and in fact the Soviet Union formed a certain nuclear deterrent against the United States.

In this case, no foreign country will lend a helping hand to the Far East, which, with its own strength, is not enough to get out of the Russian Soviets.

Therefore, the reason why the Far East of the Soviet Union did not have ** is that the Far East is a barren land, and its strength is too weak to compete with the Soviet Union.
