Kuropatkin, Russian minister of War during the RU-Japan war, in 1903 threatened Buryats with annihilation if they demand liberation. “You must demand nothing. You may only ask mercy.” just wow.

3 yrs ago a Buriat girl from my grandma remote village of 500 people asked if she should accept invitation to study in a math high school in Ulan Ude. Today I learnt she finished her first year as a student of atomic physics at the prestigious Tomsk Polytech Uni. So proud of her.

A nice overview of history of Marxism in Japan by Gavin Walker. “Japan’s was probably the most significant repository on Earth of Marxist theoretical writing after English, French, and German, and possibly Russian.”

The Theory and Practice of Marxism in Japan

From the ’60s New Left to the persistence of a mass-membership Communist Party today, Marxism has had a huge impact on Japanese politics and culture. Japanese Marxism is a highly creative tradition...

Ex-President of Mongolia: “The Buryat Mongols, Tuva Mongols and Kalmyk Mongols have suffered a lot. They have been used as nothing more than cannon fodder. Hundreds of them are wounded. Thousands of them have been killed. We the Mongols, will meet you with open arms and hearts”

We know how the Russo-Japanese war was welcomed outside of Europe. But did you know that in the Altai region in imperial Russia an independence movement emerged in 1905, which claimed they have new Tsar in ... Japan. The rebel leaders were prepped.... in Mongolia.

Russia has contradictory, even schizophrenic relations with Chinggis Khan and his empire: he is a mass murderer and Mongols are racially&culturally inferior (that extends to other Asians as well), while same time the Mongol rule is credited for saving Russia from the rotting West

Had to read Alexander Dugin 😵‍💫How could I not when he writes such bonkers: "Chinggis Khan brought us freedom from the yoke of the West. Russians after Chinggis Khan are the bulwark of the Universal Empire, the absolute center of the geopolitical battle for the fate of the world."

Modern Japan scholarship actively promoted the centrality of nomadic empires, partly for political reasons to diminish the importance of Han China, but not only. What I find fascinating how the Japanese incorporated imperial Russian and soviet archeology, linqustics, ethnography

Rare view of cave temple at Yungang shows the famous giant Buddha--built by a proto-Mongol/Turkic emperor near his capital in 5th c--with a Ming-dyn fortress (16th c) along the Great Wall. What Han Chinese saw as remote frontiers were heartlands of many nomadic empires in history

looking forward for a conversation with Elizabeth McGuire on her book Red at Heart, on Nov. 19th EST, 12 pm. Most of the Soviet Mongolian leaders had Russian wives too. Such an interesting approach to look at the intimate attraction of communism globally.

Who are we in our comfortable offices to judge Russian scholars and students for what they have been going through!? Punishing them by excluding from vital academic communication is not the way to move forward.

New book by Asada Masafumi, Japanese-Soviet War. The latest in the growing trend to shift attention from the Pacific theater to north Asia, the role of the JP-SU war in the ending of WW2 and the Japanese empire, and in the coming Cold War in Asia.

Apart from a bizarre and ridiculous historical analogy, I am curious about the timing of such takes. What’s the point? Consider Russia to be a victim of Mongol “imperialism” and thus explain its autocratic nature? reconsider policies tw Russia? What’s the point to tweet this now?

A student tells me, "What for Europeans is Hitler, for Arabs is Genghis Khan. Mongols destroyed our cities and burnt our libraries". Well, the army of the Genghis Khan's immediate successor razed to the ground my home city, Moscow. If there were any library there at the time,

Don’t remember seeing this in JP campuses even 10 years ago. Tokyo University branch of the Democratic Youth League (wing of the JCP) is having a weekly reading group on Marx’ Capital vol. 3. Second pic is of leftist Feminist reading group in Todai.
