Abstract

Based on the works by English-speaking authors on the South Manchurian Railway published after 2000, the author explores the phenomenon of the Russian/Soviet presence in Manchuria and in East Asia. The object of study was under the jurisdiction of Russia for a short time, but remained a kind of barometer of the pre- and post-war regional order. This is due to the significant strengthening of Japan and the Japanese presence, so the “before – after” scheme is present in the reviewed studies, and the change in the disposition of the powers is one of the main narrative plots. A similar “before – after” scheme in a number of works reflects the transformation of the positions of individual Western scholars under the influence of the so-called “memory wars” against the background of changes in the system of international relations over the past 7–8 years. The works in question concentrate on those spheres of public life that were affected by the railway irrespective of its subordination. The conclusions of the article reveal that this topic is under-researched; that foreign scholars make little use of the Russian resources and the potential of Russian researchers; that some opportunistic studies seek to present Russia as an aggressor and an expansionist, and the imperial policy - as a failure and disaster for the region.

谁在研究俄罗斯在南满铁路上的存在?如何研究
作者以2000年后出版的英语作家关于南满铁路的作品为基础,探讨了俄罗斯/苏联在满洲和东亚的存在现象。研究对象虽短暂处于俄罗斯的管辖之下,但仍是一种反映战前和战后地区秩序的晴雨表。这是由于日本和日本存在的显著加强,因此在回顾研究中存在“前后”图式,权力配置的变化是主要叙事情节之一。在一些著作中,类似的“前-后”图式反映了在过去7-8年国际关系体系变化的背景下,在所谓“记忆战争”的影响下,西方学者个人立场的转变。这些作品集中在那些受铁路影响的公共生活领域,无论其隶属关系如何。文章的结论表明,这一课题的研究不足;外国学者很少利用俄罗斯的资源和俄罗斯研究人员的潜力;一些机会主义研究试图将俄罗斯描绘成侵略者和扩张主义者,将帝国主义政策描绘成该地区的失败和灾难。
