Yamazaki died in a prison camp in Amur.

Heilongjiang literally means Black Dragon River, which is the Chinese name for the Amur.

STATEMENT BY H.E. MR. AMOR ARDHAOUI, CHAIRMAN OF THE VISITING MISSION TO TOKELAU, JULY 1994

They loathe it for its surrender in Ukraine to the Orange Revolution, and they condemn the decision to give land along Siberia s Amur River to China.

Mr. Amor, referring to article 18 of the Covenant, said that the existence of a National Church was acceptable under international law and did not in itself imply discrimination against other religions or beliefs.

The original seat of the Military Governor of Heilongjiang, as established in 1683, was in Heilongjang City (also known as Aigun or Heihe, or, in Manchu, Saghalien Ula), located on the Amur River.

During much of the 17th century, Russian merchants and Cossacks, using koch boats, sailed across the White Sea, exploring the Rivers Lena, Kolyma and Indigirka, and founding settlements in the region of the upper Amur.

The irony is that, even in that slogan s heyday, Sino Russian relations were deteriorating fast, culminating in spasms of combat along the Amur River in Siberia less than a decade later.

Today s hardcore Russian nationalists consider Putin s regime too soft, too pragmatic, too reasonable in their language, weak and indecisive. They loathe it for its surrender in Ukraine to the Orange Revolution, and they condemn the decision to give land along Siberia s Amur River to China.
