Koreans in Russia also learned of the protests, and began organizing their own. In [[Ussuriysk]], a protest was held and suppressed on March 17. The [[Russian Empire]] and the Empire of Japan had been part of the [[Allies of World War I]], and had signed agreements to suppress the Korean independence movement. Inspired by the Ussuriysk protest, the Koreans of the enclave Sinhanch'on in [[Vladivostok]] launched their own that same day, which was also suppressed. They launched another the following day.<ref name="donga.com">{{Cite web |last=안 |first=영배 |date=2020-01-18 |script-title=ko:두만강 건너간 한인들이 세운 '신한촌'… 해외 독립운동 상징으로 |url=https://www.donga.com/news/Culture/article/all/20200118/99276233/1 |access-date=2024-04-01 |website=[[The Dong-A Ilbo]] |language=ko |archive-date=April 1, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240401203725/https://www.donga.com/news/Culture/article/all/20200118/99276233/1 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In [[Moscow]] on August 12, a public rally in support of the March First Movement was held, and was reportedly attended by around 200 people, including at least one Soviet politician. The rally was left-leaning; its speakers, including an ethnic Korean [[Red Army]] officer (likely [[Yi Ouitjyong]]), interpreted the movement in a socialist framework and advocated for Koreans to ally with the Soviet Union and fight Japan.<ref name="YNA 2019 8" />
