metadata.value: This article based on a large body of unpublished documents from the Russian State Military Historical
  Archive (RSMHA). The author analyzes the history of the acquaintance Russian Minister of War A. N. Kuropatkin
  with publications by the Japanese ultra-nationalist society Kokuryūkai in 1901. Despite weaknesses of Russian
  intelligence in the Far East before the Russo-Japanese War, the service was been able to obtain a highly valued
  materials, such as the second volume of Bulletin of Amur River Society. An analysis of this publication reveals
  that the authors and the journals founder, Uchida Ryōhei, had a high level of knowledge about Russian society.
  The Japanese discovered all the weak spots of Imperial governance, finance, economy, educational system, and
  domestic and foreign policies of the Russian Empire. The article shows how the Minister of War read a translation
  of Japanese edition and noted the authors’ conclusions. We conclude that the Japanese state was able to organize
  these investigations of Russia using materials from nationalist organizations that sometimes took different
  positions from those of the Russian government, in Russian. In contrast, Russian officials were not able to do a
  normal analysis of observations from official channels, And Kuropatkin often did not understand the value of such
  materials that were passed on to him.
