Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
The history of Russian-English relations is rooted in ancient times. Even under the Rurikovichi, the young Russian kingdom actively traded with the foggy Albion, and in Moscow there was a large English embassy. Nevertheless, even then, the British lords tried to insert sticks into the wheels of Russia, supporting Sweden, the Polish-Lithuanian state and even the Livonian knights in the struggle against Moscow.
It took time, but Britain’s policy in relation to Russia remained invariably hostile, with the exception of cases when only the power of Russian weapons could maintain peace and balance of power in Europe. The peak of the confrontation between the British Empire and Russia can be called the end of the XIX-beginning of the XX century, when our country firmly strengthened in the Central Asian region. The desires of Britain in relation to Russia and Russian lands were the same even after the creation of the USSR. They are unchanged today.
In the book of A.B. The reader will be able to find information about the causes of such actions by Britain in relation to Russia, as well as a number of other countries. Based on the archival documents of those eras, the author talks about the genuine motives of the island state and is not shy about the unsightly episodes of Russian history
