Vladivostok, Russia’s Pacific
doorway pointing at Japan has
been developed into a great port
and Soviet stronghold. Just 80
years ago it was little more than
a boisterous Siberian outpost of
wooden shacks and muddy streets.
Today, about 206,000 Russians
live there.
Though most of its approaches

by Japan, the Russians have made
the city a fortress of strength with
prime naval and air bases.
Contact with interior Russia is
maintained by the trans-Siberian
Railroad, by air service and mo

Golden Horn, through which nor

mally pass vast Siberian exports
of foods, lubricants, lumber, lea

J tured articles. The city itself rises,
from the shore to a rim of fort
ress-crowned hills. In the spring
of 1939 a Soviet “Maginot Line”
of concrete pillboxes, four deep,
was reported ready to defend the
city.
