metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: 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.
