As a result of the Aigun (1858) and Beijing Treaties (1860) Russia
had become a participant in international relations of Northeast
Asia, but historiography has underestimated the presence of Russia
and the USSR in this region. This collection elucidates how
Russia's expansion affected early Meiji Japan's policy towards
Korea and the late Qing Empire's Manchurian reform. Russia
participated in the mega-imperial system of transportation and
customs control in Northern China and created a transnational
community around the Chinese Eastern Railway and Harbin City. The
collection vividly describes daily life of the emigre Russians'
community in Harbin after 1917. The collection investigates mutual
images between the Russians and Japanese through the prism of the
descriptions of the Japanese Imperial House in Russian newspapers
and memoirs written by Russian POWs in and after the Russo-Japanese
War and war journalism during this war. The first Soviet ambassador
in Japan, V. Kopp, proposed to restore the division of spheres of
interest between Russia and Japan during the tsarist era and thus
conflicted People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, G. Chicherin, the
Soviet ambassador in Beijing, L. Karakhan, and Stalin, since the
latter group was more loyal to the cause of China's national
liberation. As a whole, the collection argues that it is difficult
to understand the modern history of Northeast Asia without taking
the Russian factor seriously.
