MONGOLIA AND TUVA – THE INTER WAR DE FACTO STAES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RUSSIAN SHIFT IN GEOPOLITICAL VISIONS TOWARDS ASIA
Journal Title: Medzinárodné vzťahy - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
The Russian expansion to Asia was accompanied by a transformation of the visions of the Russian identity, which meant a gradual shift of Russia away from a clear orientation towards Europe. This mental turn towards Asia took place throughout the 19th century and intensified after every failure of the Russian strategy in the European direction. This development was later followed by the USSR. The power base of Russia was being built through the creation of protectorates, de facto states, buffer zones, or just spheres of influence. Later, these territories were often annexed. The article focuses on a less known chapter of Russian pressure on China and Mongolia. Russia's complex balancing with China, Japan and the UK has led to the gradual creation of de facto states of Mongolia and Tuva, which existed between the wars and were under the influence of the USSR. The article puts this chapter of the Russian history in a wider context of Russian geopolitical narratives of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
