"Winnesota" refers to St. Croix and Pierce Counties in western Wisconsin, which by the United States Census Bureau are included in the . These counties receive the majority of their television and other major news sources from Minnesota. Many residents rely on Minnesota for employment, education, and cultural influence.
The largest city in Winnesota is Hudson, in St. Croix County. Also notable is River Falls, which is straddles the county line between the two counties and is home to the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. The county seat of Pierce County is Ellsworth, although Prescott is the largest city located wholly within the county.
In the 1990s, Kitty Rhodes, an Assemblywoman from the area, championed the counties as "Winnesota" and made motions to secede from the State of Wisconsin because she felt that the area was not receiving sufficient highway funding from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
The area offers many picturesque vistas, including Willow River State Park, Kinnickinnic State Park, the Dalles of the St. Croix River, Lake St. Croix, and portions of the Driftless Area. Archeological excavations are being taken on Mississippian Indian Mounds near Diamond Bluff.
The counties form a portion of the larger area of western Wisconsin sometimes referred to as Minnesconsin.

Participation of Chinese in Russian Revolution was observed since the very first days. They served as bodyguards of Bolshevik functionaries, served in Cheka, and even formed complete regiments of the Red Army .
This fact was well known
and even exploited by anti-Bolshevik propaganda. Chinese regiments took part in the dispersal of the Russian Constituent Assembly.
Iona Yakir headed a Chinese detachment bodyguarding Lenin and Trotsky. Later he headed a regiment made of Chinese workers, which was distinguished when the Red Army heavily defeated (temporarily) the Romanian troops in February 1918 during the Romanian occupation of Bessarabia.
Large numbers of Chinese lived and worked in Siberia in late Russian Empire. Large numbers of migrant workers were transferred to the European part of Russia during the World War I because of the acute shortage of the workforce. For example, by 1916 there were about 2,000 Chinese workers in Novgorod Guberniya. In 1916-1917 about 3,000 Chinese workers were employed in the construction of Russian fortifications around the Gulf of Finland. A significant part of them were convicted robbers (honghuzi, "Red Beards", transliterated in Russian as "khunkhuzy", хунхузы) transferred from katorga labor camps in Kharbin and other Far Eastern places. After the Russian Revolution, Some of them stayed in Finland and took part as mercenaries in the Finnish Civil War on both sides.
After 1917 many of these Chinese workers joined the Red Army.
*Ren Fuchen from Tieling was the first Bolshevik in North Liaoning and a commander of the Chinese regiment of Soviet Red Army. He is commemorated as a revolutionary martyr in People's Republic of China.
