Russian imperialism and naval power. Military strategy and the build-up to the Russo-Japanese war/Российский империализм и военно-морская мощь. Военная стратегия и подготовка к русско-японской войне

Издание на английском языке
The book analyzes the Russian naval strategy in the period from 1894 to 1904 and covers the events preceding the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War. The book examines the ideologies of imperialism and the importance of naval power to protect Russia's interests, especially in the Far East. The author emphasized that, despite the focus on this region, Russia also takes into account its interests in other parts of the world. The focus is on the military aspects of the strategy, as well as the influence of the Franco-Russian alliance and the perception of Russian power by the British Admiralty. The publication fills in the gaps in English-language historiography, offering a deeper understanding of Russia's naval strategy during this critical period.
