To my knowledge none of them ever got back to China. They were just lost in the Soviet Union. The great majority of the refugees refused to go back to Russia. Since they had no hopes for the future in Red China. they tried their best to get out of the country. The Soviet Union had given them passports as part of the inducements to go back to the Soviet Union. but they were foreign passports. They permitted the refugees to return to Russia but would not allow them to travel in the Soviet Union. The passports did. however. give identity to the refugees and allowed them to go from Communist China into Hong Kong. where the British would accept them for transit to other countries. Second. what about security investigations and tests? Well. the real security clearance for these people is the one given by their fellow White Russians.
