Extended data:

1On August 9, 945, relatives such as Puyi, Xie Ehao were arrested by paratroopers of the Soviet Red Army when they were on a plane of the Japanese Kwantung Army at Shenyang East Tower Airport to escape to Japan. Puyi and others were detained by Soviet soldiers in Tongliao until August 20th, and then transported to Chita No.1 military airport in Russia by Soviet air force plane, and held in No.30 Molo Koffka for special use.

After that, he was detained in Boli Special Prison No.45 until the spring of 1946. Puyi received generous treatment in Boli Special Prison No.45, which made him repeatedly express his willingness to apply for permanent residence in the Soviet Union and join the CPSU. However, some people speculate that this may be because Puyi was afraid of being held accountable in the future, so she applied for permanent residency in the Soviet Union.

While serving his sentence in the Soviet Union, Puyi attended the Far East International Military Tribunal as a witness? . When Puyi was a witness in the Far East International Military Tribunal, he claimed that he was completely controlled by the Japanese Kwantung Army during his tenure as Emperor of Manchuria, and there was nothing he could do, nor did he have the greatest actual decision-making power and command as the supreme head of state.

But after Puyi was handed over to People's Republic of China (PRC) by the Soviet Union, he admitted that he was afraid of being held accountable by the China government in the future. When he was a witness in the Far East International Military Tribunal, he completely shirked the responsibility for war crimes to Japan, and had reservations about the responsibility for war crimes committed by Puyi and Japan.

On August 1950 and 1 day, Puyi and 263 other Manchukuo war criminals were handed over to People's Republic of China (PRC) by the Soviet Union in Suifenhe, and then sent to Fushun War Criminals Management Office for 10 years of labor reform and ideological education. Puyi's prison number is 98 1.
