Consulate General of China in Khabarovsk appealed to the mayor’s office with the request to restore the house, where more than half a year spent Pu Yi — the captive Soviet troops last emperor of China, the ruler of the Great Manchurian Empire (Manchukuo). Wooden two-story house built in the early XX century, is located in the vicinity of Khabarovsk — the village of Red River, next to the holiday complex «Zaimka Plyusnina», informs «Pacific Russia».

Previously, the territory on which the structure was part of the children’s summer camp «Dzerzhinets.» The object, which has serious historical significance, fairly dilapidated and requires serious restoration. As the deputy mayor of Khabarovsk on international and foreign economic relations, Alexander Alexandrov, together with Chinese colleagues have done a lot of work to prepare for the restoration of the house. Partners from China has even found a few exhibits for the future museum: in Changchun preserved collection of items belonging to Pu Yi Chinese side is ready to transfer them to the house-museum of Khabarovsk. Also, the Chinese are willing to invest in the reconstruction of the building.

«This interest in the house and in his desire to help the speedy recovery — not an accident: China honors its history, as a shrine. Go where some time was their last emperor, millions of Chinese are willing Museum quickly become a place of pilgrimage tourism», — said Alexander Alexandrov.

Emperor of the Qing Dynasty Pu Yi came from a kind of Aisin Gёro, which translated means «golden generation.» Pu Yi was born in 1906 and was declared emperor at the age of two. As a child he could not rule the country, the first for his father rule, and then great-aunt, the Empress Lung Yu. In 1912 there was a revolution in China, and the Empress Regent signed the abdication of Pu Yi. However, all the privileges of the monarch, he has kept, and its status is equated to the status of a foreign monarch granted asylum in the territory of China.

In 1917, the country was a military coup, in which the supporters of the dynasty returned to the emperor Pu Yi, but two weeks later the rebels surrendered their positions, again making him «the emperor without an empire.» In 1924, the People’s Army again seized power, and 18-year-old Pu Yi completely stripped of all titles and privileges. He went back for a short time was able to become the ruler — March 9, 1932 to August 15, 1945 Pu Yi led the puppet state of Manchukuo, the Japanese created in the northeast of China. After the defeat of the Kwantung Army, the new Chinese government put Pu Yi in prison, where he spent ten years of «war crimes». Later, he was amnestied. In 1967, Pu Yi died of cancer at his Beijing apartment.

We should also focus on the stay of the Emperor Pu Yi in Khabarovsk.

According to him, a wooden structure, where the last emperor of China is expected to start the process, it has been the object of the NKVD branch №45 (the main object was in the building, which is now located in the city polyclinic №3). Several narrow rooms of the house that this was too small, with PU and divided his 14 generals, ministers and dignitaries also participated later in the Tokyo process. In the capital of the Far East they were before the beginning of August 1946, after which they were extradited to China. All of its archives and unique certificate Lavrentsov Alexander is ready to transfer the house into a museum of the Khabarovsk emperor Pu Yi in the case of the opening thereof.

China is not the first time calls on the authorities with a proposal to restore the Khabarovsk Khabarovsk house Pu Yi and open a museum.
