Chinese Eastern Railway electoral district (Russian Constituent Assembly election, 1917)

The Chinese Eastern Railway electoral district (Russian: округ Китайской Восточной железной дороги) was a constituency created for the 1917 Russian Constituent Assembly election.

The Chinese Eastern Railroad electoral district was located outside the borders of Russia.

[1] In March 1917, in response to the abdication of the Tsar, Lieutenant General Dmitry Horvat (the Chinese Eastern Railroad Zone administrator since 1902) proclaimed an 'All Russian Provisional Government' based in Harbin.

[2] Nevertheless, Harbin was far detached from events in Petrograd and a more liberal atmosphere prevailed in Russian politics there; foreign diplomats took note that the monarchist Horvath and the Bolshevik leader Martemyan Ryutin could meet for lunch at the Railway Club in Harbin.

[6][7][8][5] The vote was held for the Chinese Eastern Railroad seat on November 29, 1917.
