Дневник капитан-лейтенанта Е. И. Алексеева, веденный во время плавания отряда адмирала А. Б. Асланбегова по Тихому океану в 1881 г
Ab Imperio. 2022. № 3. С. 191–245.
This archival publication presents extracts from journals kept by the Rus-
sian navy officer Evgeny Ivanovich Alekseev (1843–1917). After several
decades of active sea service, Vice Admiral Alekseev was appointed viceroy
of the Russian Far East, and in this capacity he bears his share of responsi-
bility for provoking the infamous Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905. The
publication covers the period 1881–1897, when Alekseev commanded ships
and whole squadrons, primarily in the Pacific, and traveled across the United
States. Despite the laconic and businesslike character of the journals, they
register the process of “nationalizing” the imperial subject and the country,
as well as the role of the navy in this process.
