Abstract

Fu Binchang, the last ambassador General Chiang Kai-shek sent to Soviet Russia was stationed in Moscow from 1943 to 1949. During his more than six-year residency in Moscow, Fu recorded the details of his political and operational
dealings as a full and active participant of the diplomatic corps on the very doorstep of the Kremlin. This paper analyses Fu’s role in the gathering of intelligence and timing of information leaked to the Chinese embassy about the Far Eastern Agreement – a secret agreement concluded by China’s Big Three allies at the Crimea Conference of 1945.
