A series of turbulent events of the 20th century began for Russia from a war far in the east. Japan, which unleashed the war, blockaded and besieged Port Arthur, the main base of Russian naval forces in the Pacific. The defense and the subsequent surrender of the fortress became a tragic symbol of the war. Military setbacks, the largest of which were the overland Battle of Mukden and the Tsushima Naval Battle, the name of which became common, were one of the causes of the revolution of 1905-1907 forcing the Russian part to agree to a compromise and sign a peace treaty. The local war turned for Russia into the loss of the entire Navy and the loss of strategic positions in the Far East.
- Soviet-Japanese War of 1945
The entry of the USSR into the war with Japan was agreed upon at the Yalta Conference and confirmed at the Potsdam Conference. The circumstances surrounding the declaration of war, as well as the 1941 Neutrality Pact with Japan, are of particular interest. Unique declassified materials from World War II archives allow us to reconstruct the sequence and logic of events. To make it easier for readers, Presidential Library has included the most important documents in a collection dedicated to the Soviet-Japanese war.
