Milestones in the Cooperation Between the USSR and the People’s Republic of China During the 1949-1991 Period – A Historical Perspective

Summary/Abstract: Overall, the relations between the USSR and the People’s Republic of China,the most powerful states of the communist world, were not at all satisfactory to the communist leaders in Moscow and Beijing. Historical documents reveal that the failed relations were about to degenerate into an armed conflict at some point. The paper is intended to highlight the key aspects in the history of the relations between the USSR and the People’s Republic of China during the1949-1991 period, and to bring to the fore the causes of the poor cooperation,a failure that further aggravated the negative image of the communist states during the Cold War period.The significant feature of the present research is the fact that it was conducted considering the history of international relations, the main research method being the analysis of relevant documents relating to the Sino-Soviet relations between 1949 and 1991.
