metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Using the unpublished documents from The Russian State Military Historical Archive, the article
  explores the history of visit to Dalian (Russian — Dalnii) city by the minister of war of the
  Russian Empire Aleksei N. Kuropatkin in 1903. The research is based on the diary written by
  the minister during the trip, and also on the collection of the documents he compiled. During
  the trip to the Far East, he visited a new Russian commercial port, which was being built on
  the Liaotung peninsula. The article describes how he inspected the administrative part of the
  city and technical facilities, and analyzes his criticism and recommendations. The documents
  presented to the minister of war by V. V. Sakharov, the chief of city administration in Dalian,
  provide information on the contemporary situation in the city; on the number of inhabitants
  and their nationality; on city planning and architecture; on the system of public land auctions,
  taxes and fees. The significance of Dalian city to the defense of the Russian Far East as a suitable
  naval base for Japan in the case of the attack on Port-Arthur is considered as well as the
  necessity of placing a stronger garrison in Dalian. It is noted that minister of war was skeptical
  of the development of Dalian as a large Russian commercial port in the Pacific. He also paid
  attention to the imbalance between generous funding of commercial projects of Sergei U. Vitte
  and inadequately subsidized defense projects.
