Each time Chinese rule weakened, as in the 1930’s and 1940’s, short-lived East Turkestan Republics were established, with Russian support, only to flounder when Russia and China struck new deals. The leadership of the second East Turkestan Republic was presumably murdered on Stalin’s orders, when the plane carrying it to Beijing for talks allegedly crashed in Soviet airspace.
但每当中国的统治被削弱的时候，比如在1930年代和1940年代，短命的东土耳其斯坦共和国就会在俄国的支持下建立，并随之在中俄订立新协约之后灰飞烟灭。而第二个土耳其斯坦的领导人甚至据说是被斯大林下令处决的，当时这些人坐飞机前往北京进行谈判，最终飞机却在苏联领空中坠毁了。
