Study on Disaster Prevention and Relief in the Central Soviet Area Period——Taking"Red China"as the Perspective
Natural disasters such as floods,droughts and pests were frequent during the period of the Central Soviet Area,seriously threatening the lives and property of the people.The causes of these disasters included the natural environment,cli-mate and other factors,the harm done by the Kuomintang and the reactionary landlords and merchants,the historical legacy of the Kuomintang government's former rule in the Soviet Union,and the dereliction of duty and malfeasance of a few Soviet gov-ernment officials.The Soviet government attached great importance to the work of disaster prevention and relief,the initiatives of preventing disasters,such as constructing water conservancy,planting trees,and opening up wasteland and preventing pests;and the sensitive mechanism of disaster relief,such as the provision of relief and assistance,self-help in production,and the prevention of returning to disasters.In the Soviet Union,the effectiveness of disaster prevention and relief was remarkable in solving the people's problems,benefiting the people's livelihood and gathering the people's hearts;while under the rule of the Kuomintang in the same period,the people were in dire straits,social unrest,and the people were in dire need of help.The work of disaster prevention and relief in the Soviet Union is the product of the Sinicization of the Marxist theory of disaster pre-vention and relief.By carefully studying and summarizing its historical experience,it will be helpful to further promote the modernization of China's disaster prevention and relief governance system and governance capacity.
