Abstract
The article attempts to identify, analyze and characterize the publications of the military-oriented magazine “Chasovoy”, containing data on the history of Russian emigration in China, in the first years of its publication. It is noted that this periodical, on the one hand, has become one of the most famous in the Russian military emigrant environment, on the other, it has probably become the most “long-lived”, being published from 1929 to 1988. A general brief description of the publication is given, it is noted that the journal is partly reflected on the pages of scientific and popular scientific publications. The research is based on the fundamental principles of historical science, objectivity and historicism. The first one is especially important when working with sources, which are the materials of the “Chasovoy” magazine. It allowed not focusing on the subjective assessments of the existing reality of the authors of articles and notes. The second made it possible to consider the publications of the journal taking into account the former historical situation, and the facts and phenomena reflected in the publication, in relation to their interdependence. Publications on the history of Russian military emigration in China in the XX century in the magazine “Chasovoy” in percentages were insignificant. At the same time, a significant part of them is devoted to that in Shanghai. Individual articles and notes provide information on Harbin. Russian military emigration in China, related, for example, to the history of a Separate Russian Detachment of the Shanghai Volunteer Corps, etc., is reflected in the pages of the magazine. The magazine is full of names and surnames of representatives of the Russian emigrant environment, including in China. The data provided on facts and phenomena allow us to answer the existing controversial issues. Far from a complete study of the materials of the magazine “Chasovoy” suggests the need for further research work with him.
