88th Separate Rifle Brigade

[2][3] The brigade was replenished with Soviet citizens of Chinese and Korean descent, reaching around 1,500 people.

[4][5][6] The brigade was made up of Chinese and Koreans, deployed in camps "A" and "B" in the suburbs of Kerki in the Turkmen SSR.

[7] In July 1945, the brigade command developed a plan to attack a separate 100-strong detachment in Manchuria, but it was not implemented.

A burial site is located on the territory of the Khabarovsk Municipal District on a road leading to the village of Vyatskoye.
