The Zheltuga Republic (Chinese: 熱爾圖加共和國; pinyin: Rè'ěrtújiā Gònghéguó; Russian: Желтугинская республика, Zheltuginskaya Respublika), or simply Zheltuga, was a short-lived 19th-century proto-state in the Amur river basin set up by Russian and Chinese gold miners illegally settling on Chinese territory ruled by the Qing dynasty. It was nicknamed "California on the Amur" (referencing the California Gold Rush).[1] Its population reached 12,000 prospectors at its peak.[2][note 1] However, the proto-state was crushed by the Qing forces by 1886.[3]
