Ефимова «Послы России в Японии (XIX—XX века)», представляющая собой первое исследование, в котором приводится информация о всех послах, которые представляли Россию в Японии с момента установления официальных дипломатических отношений в середине XIX века до конца XX столетия. Автор использует огромное количество фактического материала, сопровождает повествование рассказом об эпохах и исторических событиях, служивших фоном для деятельности послов Российской Империи, Советского Союза и Российской Федерации. Последние главы особенно ценны тем, что содержат значительный объем личных воспоминаний автора, бывшего непосредственным свидетелем многих из описываемых им событий. </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This article reviews a book by M.B. Efimov, an international journalist, titled Russia’s Ambassadors to Japan (19th—20th Centuries), which is the first study providing information on all ambassadors who represented Russia in Japan since the establishment of official diplomatic relations in the mid-19th century until the end of the 20th century. The author uses a tremendous amount of factual material, accompanying the narration with depictions of eras and historical events against the background of which the ambassadors of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Russian Federation acted. The last chapters are especially valuable, as they contain a substantial amount of personal recollections of the author, who was a direct witness to many of the events described in the book. </p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Япония</kwd><kwd>дипломатия</kwd><kwd>история дипломатии</kwd><kwd>российско-японские отношения</kwd><kwd>послы</kwd><kwd>биографии</kwd><kwd>мемуары</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Japan</kwd><kwd>diplomacy</kwd><kwd>history of diplomacy</kwd><kwd>Russian-Japanese relations</kwd><kwd>ambassadors</kwd><kwd>biographies</kwd><kwd>memoirs</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Ефимов М.Б.
