Abstract

The “Great Vladivostok” project of the Khrushchev period is relatively little known in the history of the USSR due to political reasons. It was not only a part of Khrushchev’s great construction reform in the country but also an attempt to consolidate the influence of the Soviet Union in Eastern Asia, create a new type of port, and settle the territory of the south of the Far East with immigrants from the western part of the country. In addition, the project had several features that both Soviet and foreign scholars ignored. The authors use archival materials, oral history, and the works of researchers, including unpublished ones, in this article. The work aims to describe the realisation of the project, and its main ideas, to analyse its successes and failures.
