We explore and theorize the concept of transnational intellectuals within the field of political communication between Russia and three countries of the Neo-Northeast Asia. We look at this as on attempt to distinguish and describe a type of Russian transnational intellectual whose activity and – taken large – whose life can be evidence of a successful mitigation of different sort of historical images of negative “otherness” between Russia and three countries – China, South Korea and Japan. The article focuses on the discussion of means that can help to replace political images of the ‘enemies’ with the narratives of peaceful co-existence in the Northeast Asia.
