Русская Япония

Russians in Tokyo, Hakodate, Nagasaki, Kobe, Yokohama... How have relations developed between our country and the Land of the Rising Sun for more than two hundred years?

The work is based on materials from archives and libraries of Russia, Japan and the USA, as well as memoirs published in the 19th century.

What happened to the first Russian consulate staff? What was the cause of the first unofficial war between Russia and Japan? The author does not exclude difficult moments in relations between our countries, such as the dispute over the “northern territories” and the escape of Soviet resident Yu.A. Rasvorov to Tokyo.

You will learn interesting facts not only about famous historical figures - E.V. Putyatin, N.N. Muravyov-Amursky, but also about many undeservedly forgotten Russians.
