The Kuril Islands are a fairly researched topic and very politicized.There's always the topic of the four Kuril Islands that have been occupied by Russia since World War II but Japan would like back.
It actually sounds very interesting.The Russian exploration of Hokkaido in the 18th and 19th centuries is quite fascinating, too. I remember I read Captain Golovnin's account (Captivity in Japan During the Years 1811-1813) decades ago (in German). The Japanese captured him and his crew; after a failed escape attempt, he tried to learn as much about Japanese culture and language as he could. His crew was later released and returned to Russia.
Definitely an interesting topic! I wish I could read Golovnin's original account (the German edition was abridged).
I am looking for interesting topics in Japanese history
What is Orthodoxy? The Russian Orthodox Church? Looks like they still have a presence so that could be interesting. "ú–{³‹³‰ïbƒnƒŠƒXƒgƒX³‹³‰ï The Orthodox Church in JapanIt actually sounds very interesting.
Alas, this topic has been quite explored. Although, if I do not write a full-fledged scientific work on this topic, then it will definitely be suitable for articles.
By the way, the topic of Orthodoxy in Japan is not well researched. I have access to a small number of interesting sources, although I'm not sure if anyone has not used them already. In any case, I would write an article for this site about how the Russians saw their mission and the Japanese in the framework of the Orthodox worldview
Weah. it's Orthodox Church. Most often, when Russian speakers says Orthodoxy they mean doctrine or faith in general, orthodoxy translated into Russian as pravoslavie.What is Orthodoxy?

Все эти темы хорошо изучены, и я бы не стал обращать внимание на большинство из них, только если бы не работал над историографией тем.В Википедии есть список тем по истории Японии.

Actually a very nice site. Google translator does a very good job with the text on it. There is even a brief history of the church in Japan.What is Orthodoxy? The Russian Orthodox Church?

Ah, sorry. I accidentally wrote my answer in Russian.
I was thinking about the first diplomatic relations.
Yes. However, I should note that the term feudalism for Asian countries is rather controversial, because it comes from European historiography, for which it was coined as a description of Medieval legal-political relations.Are you interested in the history of the early Meiji Era, when Japan was transformed from a feudal society into a modern nation (and began having diplomatic relations)?
I am especially interested in the history of the Orthodox Church of Japan
In what sense is "contact"?Вы пробовали связаться с Православной Церковью в Японии?

Really? I wonder why it would be considered controversial, and by whom it would be considered controversial. It seems to be a non-judgmental word describing any pre-modern society that is dominated by land owning/controlling barons (or, warlords, if you like), and their clashes for control over territory - so in this sense it seems to be a word that is very useful for westerners to describe pre-Meiji Japan.Yes. However, I should note that the term feudalism for Asian countries is rather controversial,
In fact, many mediavilists refer to the term in a similar way. Of course, you correctly noticed the meaning of the term, but this is only one of the meanings. For example, you can read the works of Aron Gurevich, who is an excellent specialist in the Middle Ages, he has many interesting ideas on this subject. Despite the fact that Gurevich wrote in the USSR, his works were much broader than the Marxist approach I hated and considered the issue of feudalism much broader than anywhere else. F. Moulder expresses, for example, a similar opinion, pointing to the proximity of Japan to the Sino-imperial system.Действительно? Интересно, почему это будет сочтено спорным, и кем оно будет сочтено спорным. Кажется, это слово без осуждения, описывающее любое досовременное общество, в котором доминируют землевладельцы / управляющие бароны (или, военачальники, если хотите), и их столкновения за контроль над территорией - так что в этом смысле это похоже на слово, которое очень полезно для жителей Запада для описания Японии до Мэйдзи.
Это все равно что сказать, что мы не можем перевести слово 警察 как «полицейский», потому что концепция и развитие западной полиции отличается от японской.

In fact, you spoke quite correctly. I talked to some of my classmates about this. They also expressed their support for you, pointing out that I rely on regional specifics too much, giving it much more value than it is worth.Hello Gleb, thank you for your reply. I do not know the work of Aron Gurevich or F. Moulder. I think these references may be more esoteric than the average person will be familiar with. But I am interested in this idea, so I will try to study a bit more about their beliefs. (I am slightly familiar with Nitobe Inazo). Anyway, thanks again and sorry to take the thread slightly off-topic.
This is very important information, I am very grateful for such a tip and will try to make contacts when I dive into the topic after reading the available literature.The Russian embassy in Tokyo probably has a very strong connection with the Russian church in Tokyo. I am sure the embassy would be more than happy to help you with this. (One of the purposes of the embassy is to help people learn about Russian culture, which is exactly what you are doing.) Perhaps the Russian embassy has a 'cultural ambassador' of some sort, who could help you. Ask them if they have such a 'cultural ambassador'.
