When using the Far-Eastern Region as a study case the paper deals with the issues of political tensions between neighboring states (Russia and People’s Republic of China) caused by coinciding of state boundaries with rivers. Main forms of negative impact of channel processes that cause reconsideration (demarcation) of the boundary position have been described. The role of water work facilities that influence the river bed regime transformation and, consequently, fairway/state boundary position alteration is being assessed.
