The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 is the subject of extensive literature. In form it was a local war, but in content and political significance it was of a global nature. It was associated with a whole tangle of diplomatic steps, the struggle of intelligence, the growing international problems of an imperialist nature, the internal problems of Russia, Japan and the leading world powers (England, Germany, France, the USA and others).But the problems of the turn of XIX –XX centuries have not softened even today, a century later. Therefore, turning to the analysis of the events that resulted in the ended war so unsuccessfully for tsarist Russia, it is impossible not to project them to the present day. The Far East "cauldron of witches" continues to seethe, and the situation on the Pacific coast of Russia is heating up every year. This is not a local tension, but a decision of our destiny, since the plans of the "world government" include the liquidation of Russia as a state and as an ethnic community.
