1927. Chemberlene's note to the USSR Government

90 years ago, on February 23, 1927, the British Foreign Minister Joseph Ostin Chamberlain sent a note to the Soviet government, in which he demanded a rupture of diplomatic and trade relations to stop the "anti -British propaganda" and Soviet military support for the revolutionary Homintan government in China. Under the slogan "Our answer to Chamberlain" in the USSR, a fund was created to collect funds for defense and construction of the air fleet. In the Soviet response, which followed on February 26, it was argued that "in its appeal with the Soviet Union, the Great Britain government deliberately retreats from generally accepted international norms and customs and even elementary decency" and that it "rejecting the usual diplomatic paths of conflict regulation allows itself to speak with the Soviet government the tone of threats and ultimatums."
