Russian policy toward China after the Russo-Japanese war (1904–1905): discussions in modern historiography
Abstract
Russia’s defeat in the Russo-Japanese war and signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth had a great effect on the political situation across the Far East. Russia lost not only its prestige, but also its international esteem. It also had a considerable negative effect on further development of Sino-Russian relations. Most of the studies dedicated to the history of Sino-Russian relations of the end of the 19th-beginning of the 20th centuries do not go beyond the year 1905, for it is supposed that after 1905 almost all diplomatic connections between Russian and Chinese Empires came to an end. Still it would be wrong to assume that the two countries sharing common border of considerable length could be isolated from each other until the very collapse of the Qing Empire.
