metadata.value: Russia’s defeat in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905 and the Portsmouth Peace Treaty radically
  changed the balance of power in the Far East. It caused considerable damage to the image of the Russian Empire
  in the international arena and had a negative impact on Sino-Russian relations. However, one set of sources
  allows us to look at the well-known events from a different angle, and this has remained outside the attention
  of specialists in Sino-Russian relations. Russian satirical periodicals at the turn of the 20th century can serve as
  such a source, for it was during this period that more information about China became available to a wide range
  of readers in the Russian press. Along with the growing number of references to China, authors and readers inevitably
  began to form a unique and sometimes contradictory image of the eastern neighbor. This image, on the
  one hand, was directly related to current events in politics and international relations, and on the other could itself
  have a certain influence on the relations of the two empires at various levels. The Russo-Japanese War occupied
  a special place in the formation of Russia’s image of the East, in general, and of China, in particular. References to
  military operations on the Far Eastern fronts are found in virtually every issue of the 1904–1905 satirical magazines
  Budil’nik and Strekoza, which were popular at the time. Of course, the main “evil” for contemporaries was Japan,
  portrayed in extremely unsightly forms. However, China was not ignored either, especially since military actions
  partly took place on its territory. This article explores how China was seen by representatives of one of the most
  popular journalistic genres of those years.
