Poles between Germany and Russia. Imperial Policy and Inter-Imperial Interaction in the Polish Question in 1898—1905
German policy concerning the Polish national minority has rarely been the subject of research done by Russian historians. This gap is intended to be filled by this article, which is a continuation of the work published in issue No. 3 of the journal New and Contemporary History (2025), where the same issues were examined using materials from an earlier period. The chronological framework was not chosen by chance: in 1897/1898 Germany declared its …
Documents from the Foreign Policy Archives of the Russian Empire as a Historical Source for Research into Domestic Policy — Pros and Cons
Any specific historical research begins with the selection of sources, and, in our opinion, this can serve as the foundation for any kind of theorizing and generalization. It’s not necessary to always find and analyze completely new documents, previously unknown or not introduced into scientific circulation, in order to create original research. it is often possible to obtain new information from already known documents just by taking a different…
West German historiography of the German Empire as an example of the implementation of historical policy
Analysis of the historiography of a particular historical period or problem allows one to say a lot not only about the topic of research, but also about the academic and political situation in which the works were prepared and published. For example, the tradition of studying the political history of Germany during the imperial period that emerged in Germany. The natural choice of topics on which most works concentrate (constitutional history, bi…
Wilhelm II and the resignation of Otto von Bismarck
The article focuses on the turning point in the history of the German Empire in 1871–1918, associated with the circumstances of the resignation of the first Imperial Chancellor and Minister-President of Prussia Otto von Bismarck in March 1890 and the transition to the so-called Wilhelmian period in the history of the country. The subject has been well studied in German historiography, yet it is still a matter for discussion among historians. Draw…
Russian-German Relations and the Resignation of Otto von Bismarck
The resignation of the first chancellor of the German Empire, Prince Otto von Bismarck, has been studied by German historians for a long time and from various points of view, but at the same time, due to the diversity of causes and controversial consequences, it is still a debatable problem. The relevance of the history of bilateral Russian-German relations remains unchanged, and even becomes significant at the present stage of European history. …
Donbas
Without negating geopolitics, the developments in the breakaway entities of Donbas post-cessation of active war; and the fate of the dominant policy options for resolving the conflict need to be understood to explain the missing piece in the puzzle of Russia's choice for war in 2022. These territories were unable to evolve into viable socio-economic and political entities. The conflict never ended, and was spiralling by 2021; corruption was rampa…
Syria's uneasy peace
The paper explores the challenges faced by societies affected by active conflict, as they regain peace and social cohesion, by discussing perspectives from Syria. It argues that an “uneasy peace” that stays strained, but nevertheless holds, is emerging and likely to prevent the war from recurring. This peace emerges out of the conflict milieu, which creates losses and bitterness, but also opens possibilities for shifting and changing. These effec…
Embassy of the Russian Empire in Berlin on the Socialist Movement in Germany in 1890–1898
The study focuses on assessing the representativeness and relevance of diplomatic documents for the study of key aspects of German domestic politics. Three issues are central to the analysis of the documents from the Archive of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire: the completeness of the indicated sources for understanding the factors of the German Empire’s inner policy; the assessment of the subjectivity of the author of diplomatic dispatch…
The Polish Minority in the German Empire — the Agrarian Aspect of Government Policy and the Opposition of the Polish Population in the Late 19th — Early 20th Centuries
The purpose of this article is to examine the agrarian aspect of the opposition to the Prussian policy of Germanization of the Polish population of the provinces of Poznań and West Prussia from a historical perspective, with the main focus on the 1880s — 1900s. The publication of the Colonization Law in 1886 and the creation of the Colonization Commission marked the beginning of attempts by the Prussian government to change the ratio of the Polis…

Some Aspects of German Colonial Policy in the 1880—1890s (Based on the Foreign Policy Archive of the Russian Empire Documents)
The article deals with the problem of transition of the leadership of the German Empire to an active colonial policy at the very end of the 19th century, examines its domestic and foreign policy grounds. The author concludes that German colonial policy at least in the 1890s was based on the “struggle for Europe”, that is to say building relations with Great Britain and Russia, making attempts to enter the regions they control in order to get effe…
Chancellor H. H. von Hohenlohe-Schillingfürst Inner Policy
Author analyzes the internal policy of Germany in the period of Chancellor H. von Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst — the years still poorly studied in historiography of the German Empire. In this regard, the biography of this politician and diplomat is of true interest to study, as an attempt to “whitewash” his reputation and to question the widespread opinion of him being an “absolute nonentity” and “a dwarf demonstrating his insignificance”. The goals…

Russia’s Power Projection after the Ukraine Crisis
This essay discusses how Russia’s power manifested itself in relation to Western policies in its neighbourhood. It focuses on how Russia understands power, the way this understanding impacts the ideational and cultural influence that it projects, and how Moscow has applied a range of tools in Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus. It argues that Russia’s power projection cannot be understood without reference to its interactions with the West. The 2014 cr…
The Central Asian Militants
Central Asians have long been present within the ranks of organisations linked to the global jihad movement, but has there been an acceleration in their recruitment in recent years? There is growing evidence of substantial numbers of Central Asians (mostly Uzbeks and Tajiks) present in Syria in the ranks of the Islamic State and of a number of organisations linked to Al-Qaida. There is also growing evidence of recruitment inside Kyrgizstan and Ta…
No Moscow stooges
The paper argues that the grounds for the conflict in Donbass were prepared when different sections of Ukraine's population developed conflicting perspectives of the past, the role of Russia in Ukraine's history, and of how relations with the West should evolve. These differences lay the foundations for what became polarized identities and mutually exclusive ideologies. The study goes on to explore a changing political landscape of a leaderless u…
