Ussuri krai
part of Primorsky Krai
Ussuri krai (Russian: Уссури́йский край) is an unofficial name for a part of Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsky Krai that consisted of the Ussuri and South-Ussuri Okrugs. The name was often used in the late Russian Empire. The name comes from the fact that Ussuri River is located on the territory of the krai.
Through the efforts of the Russian governor Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky, the Qing dynasty of China conceded its rights to the territory to Russia in the Amur Annexation. This decision was officially documented in the Aigun Treaty (1858) and the Convention of Peking (1860).
In 1889–1918, Ussuri krai was the location of the Ussuri Cossack Host. It was re-established in the 1990s.
National Geographic Channel represented the film named "Secret Forest" as the part of the cycle Wild Russia, which describes the natural reserves of Ussuri Krai.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Ussuri krai” is part of Primorsky Krai. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Ussuri, krai and part, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “part of Primorsky Krai” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q840947. Authority coordinates are 44.000, 133.000. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1858, 1860, 1889 and 1918.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
