Stephan 1996, p. 65; quote: "To cope with the ubiquitous hong huzi, the Khudyakovs erected watchtowers, dug underground bunkers, and kept their power dry, enabling them to repulse periodic assaults.

What befell the Khudayakov and Heeck families threatened isolated southern Primorye settlements well into the twentieth century." Stephan, John J.
