Studies of Chinese Workers in the Urals during World War Ⅰ(Ⅰ)
The archives and documents of Chinese workers who went to the Urals during World War 1 can reflect the social conditions of Chinese workers in the Urals,the launching of strikes and their participation in the Russian proletarian revolution.Urals is a relatively developed industrial region.During the First World War,local government in the Urals,where industrial output declined rapidly due to the shortage of workers,repeatedly sent letters to the Imperial Russian central Committee and agreed to introduce yellow workers;therefore,nearly 10,000 Chinese workers recruited to arrive in the Urals.However,the cultural and language barriers that were difficult to dissolve made them subject to open discrimination and unequal treatment by managers of industrial and mining enterprises,Chinese and foreign contractors and local residents,and the contradictions between all parties were increasing day by day,which directly led to the later political orientation of Chinese laborers.
