Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
The youth "policy" of the Bureau for Russian Emigrants in the Manchurian Empire (BREM), the governing body of the emigrant colony in Manchukuo (1934–1945), was originally built on a combination of national education of youth with education in the spirit of ideas of anti-communism and the construction of the five nations’ commonwealth state. But later it evolved towards the priority of national education in the formalization of other areas. The youth "policy" of BREM reached its peak in its development in the conditions of increased Japanization of the socio-cultural environment of the Manchurian Empire and the Soviet Patriotic War in the first half of the 1940s. It contributed to the cultivation of national and cultural identity in the minds of Russian youth and the development of patriotism, which implicitly led to increased sympathy for the Soviet Union.
