As a prisoner of war, what was Puyi's real life like during his five years in the Soviet Union?

1On August 8, 945, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and sent troops to the northeast. In addition to the Japanese Kwantung Army, there is also the Puppet Manchukuo. In just a few days, the situation in the northeast has been reversed. After Japan surrendered, Puyi issued an urgent "abdication letter" and took his family to Shenyang airport, ready to flee to Japan with the help of the Japanese.

Unfortunately, Puyi did not escape. While waiting for the flight, he was arrested by the Soviet Red Army. Overnight, Puyi changed from an emperor to a prisoner.

Puyi, a prisoner, was detained in the Soviet Union. It was not until August 1950 that Puyi was handed over to the China Municipal Government.

As a prisoner of war, what was Puyi's real life like during his five years in the Soviet Union?

Puyi was a war criminal in the Soviet Union, but in fact, the Soviets did not regard him as an unforgivable person, and he was still very different from the Japanese.

When Puyi first arrived, the Soviets hosted a welcome party for him. As prisoners, there is basically no such treatment.

He eats alone in it, doesn't take part in labor, and doesn't even have to fight flies and mosquitoes. It is difficult to associate him with the word "war criminal".

On the surface, Puyi still has the style of an emperor, but the place where he lives has changed from a palace to a prison. No matter which prison in the Soviet Union, Puyi can move freely, listen to music and enjoy the scenery.

Someone waits on him every day and someone greets him every morning. Puyi also reciprocated. During his trial in Tokyo, he said a lot of good things for the Soviets, which made Stalin very happy.

At first, the National Government strongly urged the Soviet Union to repatriate Puyi, but the Soviets did not respond, even if the response was delayed. In fact, for the future of Puyi, the Soviets are also very entangled.

After all, Puyi is not an ordinary person, and how to arrange it is really a problem. It is wrong to be locked up in the Soviet Union for a long time, even if it is delicious.

However, it is precisely because of this that Puyi is unwilling to return to China. He has repeatedly asked to stay in the Soviet Union permanently and donated a lot of money to the Soviet Union. After failing to get a response, he even said that he would join the Soviet * * * Production Party and often organized a group of people to study Marxism.

However, the Soviets disagreed. Of course, the reason why Puyi is like this is that, on the one hand, he had a good life in the Soviet Union and was reluctant to leave. On the other hand, more importantly, he is afraid of being liquidated after returning to China. People know what Puyi did in Northeast China.

After the founding of New China, it negotiated with the Soviet Union again about the repatriation of Puyi, and finally the Soviet Union decided to repatriate Puyi and other war criminals.
