В советской/российской исторической науке личность Мяо Боин не исследована, и столетие КПК даёт повод обратиться к изучению её биографии. Мяо Боин (1898–1929) относится к поколению молодёжи, которая в начале ХХ в. после Синьхайской революции под влиянием «Движения за новую культуру» и «Движения 4 мая» активно включилась в кампанию за обновление страны, за отказ от устаревших традиций, в частности, касавшихся женщин. До образования КПК она критиковала морально-этические устои старого общества, говорила о важности подъёма самосознания женщин и совершенствовании социальной системы. Изучение марксизма привело её в КПК. Как первая женщина – член КПК Мяо Боин отдавала все силы организационному оформлению движения за освобождение женщин, вела агитационно-пропагандистскую работу среди трудящихся, как открыто в рамках профсоюзного движения, так и нелегально по партийной линии. Она также использовала все возможности единого фронта КПК с Гоминьданом в практической работе. В Пекине, Чанша, Ухане и Шанхае она всегда находилась в гуще революционных событий, будь то подготовка петиций, выступление на митингах, организация демонстраций или забастовок, твёрдо шла по указанному КПК пути, демонстрируя искреннюю готовность умереть во имя дела партии., In the Soviet/Russian historical science, the personality of Miao Boying has not been fully researched, and the CCР's 100th anniversary gives all the reasons to light up her biography. Miao Boying (1898–1929) belongs to a generation of the Chinese youth who in the early 1920s after the Xinhai revolution under the influence of the “New Culture Movement” and the “May Fourth Movement” began the campaign for the renewal of the state, for the rejection of outdated traditions, related to women in particular. Before the formation of the CCP, she criticized moral and ethical principles of the old society, spoke about the importance of raising women's self-awareness and improving social rights and the system in general. Acquaintance to Marxism led her to the communist movement. She became the first female member of the Chinese Communist Party. Miao Boying was engaged in propaganda and agitation campaigns for the liberation of workers, male and female, both openly within Trade Union groups and illegally along the party line. She also used all the opportunities of the United Front of CCP and Kuomintang in practical work. In Beijing, Changsha, Wuhan and Shanghai she was always in the thick of revolutionary events, whether preparing petitions, speaking at rallies, organizing demonstrations or strikes, firmly following the path indicated by the CCP, demonstrating a sincere willingness to die for the cause of the party.

Background. The CCP’s policy in the framework of two independent political campaigns – the “silent revolution” and the “movement for land reform” – has never been subjected to substantive analysis in Chinese, Russian and Western historiography. Moreover, the very names of these campaigns and, especially, the extent of violence committed during them, do not mean anything to many experts. Studying the topic allows to a certain extent to fill the gap. And in this regard, the work aims at analyzing, at least in general terms, the content of both the “revolution” and the “movement”. Results. The main aspects of the party’s general line, its politics and the socioeconomic activities of the Communists in the specified period, including the use of violence in its various forms as the main way to control the peasant masses by the CCP, are examined. Conclusions. The analysis shows that the main content and the most important condition for the success of both the “silent revolution” and the “movement for land reform” was extremely flexible and selectively dosed violence against the masses during the years of the “revolution” with the transition to total terror in the “old” liberated districts during the final phase of the struggle with Chiang Kai-shek, the absolutely ridiculously marked “land reform”.
