After this, he transferred to the University from where he successfully graduated from the sinological faculty of General Studies in 1922. He had studied the spoken and written Chinese language (and Chinese literature) under Prof. VM Alekserev to such a high degree of attainment, that he was retained between 1922-1923 in the Scientific Research Institute. Czarist Russia participated in WWI as an ally of the British from 1914-1917 fighting Imperial Germany, during which time millions of Russian men were conscripted into a Russian army that suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties! Indeed, the Bolshevik Revolution ‘saved’ Julian Shchutskii from being conscripted into the military, and because of his obvious academic talent, the ‘new’ Revolutionary Russian State did not conscript him into the Red Army. He was allowed to pursue his studies in Petrograd fully supported and financed by the State. Between 1918-1921, Imperial Germany (and seven of her allies), and Great Britain (and thirteen of her allies including the United States) invaded Revolutionary Russia with the aim of killing Lenin and destroying the accomplishment of the Russian Revolution. Ironically, British and German troops fought side by side with a common anti-Socialist objective between March, 1918 and the defeat of Imperial Germany in November 1918 within Revolutionary Russia – whilst British and German troops continued to oppose and kill one another in the mud of France and Belgium. This Western (imperialist and capitalist) interference was finally defeated as a cogent force in 1922, with the ‘Union of Soviet Socialist Republics’ (USSR) being founded in late December, 1922.
