Lushun Japan-Russia Prison Site is located at No. 139 Xiangyang Street Lushunkou District Dalian Liaoning Province, P. R. China. It was built by tsarist Russia in 1902 and was extended by Japan in 1907. Within the enclosing wall, the prison covers an area of 26,000 m2, there are 275 prison houses in various kinds, where over 2000 persons can be imprisoned at the same time, and there are frisking room, quaestio room, gallows room and 15 factories. Outside the enclosing wall, there are kiln factory, tree farm, orchard and vegetable plot where the prisoners were forced to do corvee labor. The prison covers a gross area of 226,000m2. Many people from China, Korea, Japa, Russia and Egypt etc. countries were imprisoned and slaughtered here. This prison built by two imperialist states in a third country is an irrefutable evidence of aggressing and opposing mankind of imperialist big powers, whose brutal and atrocious degree is rarely seen all over the world. In August 1945, while Soviet Red Army garrisoned Lushun, the prison was broken up. After being repaired, the prison site was opened to society as a showroom in July 1971. In 1998, the State Department of the People’s Republic of China announced that the Lushun Japan-Russia Prison Site was regarded as a national important preservation of cultural relic.
