3 Troubled Waters. Russo-Japanese Resource Conflicts as a Challenge for Imperial Rule in the Northern Pacific, 1900-1945
Abstract The article deals with Russo-Japanese conflicts over maritime resources at Russia’s Northern Pacific periphery. It argues that this particular history should be understood in the larger context of the Russian Empire’s fragmented authority in the region. The chapter explores how, in the first half of the twentieth century, Japanese fishermen played a dominant role along the coasts of Kamchatka. Neither Russian Imperial elites nor their Soviet successors were able to match their economic superiority in the region. Conflicts over maritime resources influenced local affairs and constituted an important continuity between Tsarist and Bolshevik rule.
