Abstract

The "Great Vladivostok" project of the Khrushchev period is relatively little known in the history of the USSR due to political reasons. It was not only a part of Khrushchev's great construction reform in the country, but also an attempt to consolidate the influence of the Soviet Union in Eastern Asia, to create a new type of port, and to settle the territory of the south of the Far East with immigrants from the western part of the country. In addition, the project had a number of features that both Soviet and foreign scholars did not pay attention to. The authors use archival materials, oral history, and the works of researchers, including unpublished one, in this article.

The aims of the work are consideration of building situation in Primorye before the start of “Great Vladivostok”.
