Как смотрят на эту войну современные японцы? Какое значение имеют вопросы исторической памяти, относящиеся к мировой войне, в отношениях Японии со странами-соседями?
В данной главе рассмотрено восприятие Второй мировой войны внутри японского общества и в контексте отношений с другими странами; дана характеристика тенденциям и подходам японских властей в области политики памяти. Отдельное внимание уделено месту российской проблематики, а также процессу формирования и эволюции нарратива за послевоенные годы вплоть до настоящего времени (написано в 2021 г.).

The rise and fall of Japan as a “great power” in the 20th century is tightly linked with its relations with Russia (the Russian Empire and the USSR), which became a specific factor of the Japanese imperial project. Russia served as a challenge to Japan that triggered its social mobilization and militarization in 1895-1905. The victorious Russo-Japanese War made Japan a “great power” with colonies on the continent. However, it also predetermined the political rise of its military circles, which ultimately worked as a time bomb breaking the foundation of the newborn empire. Cooperation with Russia after 1906 was the most effective instrument for Japan’s further expansion on the continent, while the intervention into Siberia after 1917 came as the first alarm signaling the limits of that expansion. The paper also examines the ha...

To most of Russia’s neighbors in East Asia – China, Mongolia, both Koreas – the perception of WWII is well disposed to Moscow. But the situation in relations with its former opponent – Japan – is still quite sensitive. Although nowadays they are not entangled with harsh ‘memory wars’, the gap in both countries’ perception of WWII is still quite significant. What did the Soviet-Japanese war of August 1945 mean for Russia and Japan? How is it considered in both countries nowadays and what place does the collective memory of WWII occupy in mutual perception? This article examines these issues in a broad historical context, including the geopolitical rivalry in the first half of the 20th century, the Cold War and its end, evaluating in conclusion the political dialogue between Moscow and Tokyo in recent years.

The Portsmouth Treaty had put an end to the war, but left many contradictions between the two powers unsolved. After concluding the peace treaty, Russia and Japan had to start the difficult negotiations on the evacuation from Manchuria, the division of the Manchurian railway and Sakhalin, the P.O.W.s and similar problems. Besides the questions connected with the end of the war, St. Petersburg and Tokyo also had the important task of rebuilding relations with each other according to the new geopolitical situation arising out of the war of 1904-05. Japan was facing serious problems in the diplomatic field caused by the deterioration of relations with Great Britain and especially the USA, cautious of a possible war of revenge by Russia at the same time. The Tsarist government, permanently fighting with the revolutionaries, was trying to develop a new Far Eastern policy. The Russo-Japanese ...

Российско-японские контакты характеризовались исключительно высоким темпом изменений от вражды до дружбы. Очевидно, что в комплексе отношений Японии с Россией за полвека, с 1895 по 1945 гг., отразилась квинтэссенция ее культурно-идеологических установок, ее заветной мечты – признанного статуса великой державы. Мечты, которая однажды осуществилась в виде победы над царской Россией и разбилась вдребезги в конце Второй Мировой войны, с последним ударом со стороны Советского Союза. Российско-японские отношения первой половины ХХ в. оказались теснейшим образом связаны со взлетом и падением Японской империи, на этом пути «русский фактор» имел во многом определяющее значение. При этом образ самой России в политическом смысле пережил впечатляющую трансформацию – из символа унижения став символом победы, а затем символом травмы – как для элиты, так и для всего общества.

The author revises the negotiations between Russian and Japanese military and diplomats, the position of the Priamur Governorate-General, and concrete measure undertaken by both countries in order to prevent possible damage from the German spies and eliminate German influence in China during the war.
After the outbreak of World War I the authorities of the Priamur region faced the menace of sabotage by the German agents. It was believed that their coordination center was located in China. Russian military and diplomats feared that the German influence could be expanded among the Chinese and Koreans, especially including those who lived on the Russian territory. In order to counteract the German intrigues the Russian representatives decided to apply for cooperation to Japan, which had a very strong position in Manchuria. The collaboration between St. Petersburg and Tokyo on this issue became another successful example of a rapid improvement of bilateral relations after the Russo-Japanese War.
The article is based on the vast range of unpublished documents from the Japanese and Russian federal and regional archives.

Книга построена на основе анализа огромного количества отечественных и зарубежных источников, значительная часть документов вводится в научный оборот впервые. В частности, речь идет о засекреченных ранее планах российских военных относительно подготовки к новой войне с Японией, материалах по анализу японского военно-стратегического и финансово-экономического потенциала после русско-японской войны, наработках в сфере организации разведдеятельности на Дальнем Востоке и т.д. С помощью обширной источниковой базы автору удалось реконструировать картину состояния и развития российско-японских отношений в указанный исторический период, представить сравнительный анализ позиций дипломатов, военных, центрального правительства, местных элит и других политических акторов Российской империи по вопросу построения отношений с Японией, а также раскрыть множество новых, неизвестных ранее страниц истории двусторонних контактов.
