Although that may be, in the past because of the cold war confrontation between the US and USSR, and because Taiwan was in the US camp, it was still standing in opposition to the USSR. Thus interest in the Republic of China in the Soviet Union was limited to the "mainland era Kuomintang."
話雖如此，但過去美、蘇一直處在冷戰對峙局面，台灣走的是自由民主之路，與蘇聯仍屬對立，蘇聯對中華民國的「興趣」，也大多侷限在研究「大陸時期的國民黨」。
