Abstract

The article is dedicated to the Russian residents of Shanghai Avenue Joffre. After the October Revolution of 1917 and the end of the Civil War in 1922, refugees from Russia began to arrive in Shanghai en masse. Thanks to external assistance and their own efforts, Russian emigrants quickly achieved material success, which helped to intensify social activities in the Russian community of Shanghai. This can be illustrated by the situation on Avenue Joffre on the former French Concession, where most of the Russian shops operated. The article uses rare Chinese sources, including publications of literary and artistic societies, emigrant press (advertising for shops, restaurants, bookstores, etc.), modern statistical information, as well as the results of the authors' field research in China in 2010–2022.
