Books sino russian relations from ancient times to 1917

[AlexBrown84]

basically from the first establishments of government organized trade, russia has viewed china as an equal, stark contrast compared to how anglo, american, and french forces approached them via the sea

however, due to its soviet era bias (book was written in 1974), the author claims that russia has a better claim on the far east northern people such as the khitan

also love how he tries to white wash the first russian explorers to the amur region as ‘a bit of resistance from the local population’ when they were literally cannibalizing them to survive the winter jfl

other than that, good book

long live CPC, long live sino russia good will

All of Japan belongs to Russia, since Russians (by Russian i also mean east Belarusian/Belarusian and east Ukranian/Ukranian) are the ones that look like anime characters (east baltic/baltic people look like robust anime characters).
