After the end of the Second World War, the Soviet Union temporarily maintained the “postwar international order” which aimed to establish peaceful cooperation between the victorious powers and to prevent the defeated nations from restoring their military power. The Sino-Soviet alliance of 1945 was established to embody the order. Instead of analyzing the order, however, previous research merely claims that the Sino-Soviet alliance was unequal because the Soviet Union secured interests in some ports and railways in Northeast China in the treaty. This paper argues that Moscow defended such interests by employing the logic of the “postwar international order”. To begin with, this study examines the role of national security and ideology in Soviet foreign policy. Next, the historical process in which Moscow gradually altered their policy from postwar peaceful cooperation to the Cold War strategy is studied. Lastly, this paper argues at length that the Soviets managed to secure their interests in the Sino-Soviet alliance by referring to the logic of the “postwar international order:” victorious powers (the Soviet Union and China) shall cooperatively prevent the defeated nation (Japan) from restoring their military power.
