DOI: 10.31518/2618-9100-2021-6-8
The article is devoted to the formation of the Communist Party of China with the support of Soviet Russia. After the Opium War of 1840, China was stuck in a semi-colonial state. To change the situation in the country, Chinese patriots tried to learn from the West, but before the October Revolution in Russia, the situation in China became even less stable. The unfair decisions of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference finally forced the progressive intelligentsia and students of China to turn their gaze to the revolutionary Russia oriented towards socialism. From July 23 to August 3, 1921, with the direct participation of representatives of the Comintern, the first congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Shanghai. The communist revolution in China has opened the curtain.
