About Priamursk Governorate-General

Priamurye Governorate-General, also known as the Amur Governorate-General or the Trans-Amurian Territory, was a Governorate-General of the Russian Empire located in the Russian Far East. This territory is often described as a colony that existed from 1884 until the 1917 Russian Revolution. It was established as part of an effort to prevent the Qing dynasty from reclaiming territories seized by unequal treaty and facilitate Russian settler-colonialism. It had a diverse population, including Russians, Ukrainians, Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Buryats and several other indigenous peoples.
