Talk:Russian invasion of Manchuria

Sources

One author, Robert B. Edgerton ripped this image out of context, implying that it was of Chinese beheaded by Russians during the war in his book Warriors of the Rising Sun: A History of the Japanese Military

The image (between pages 166 and 167 of From Tokio through Manchuria with the Japanese By Louis Livingston Seaman) is actually of Chinese bandits beheaded by other Chinese bandits, and it happened after the Boxer rebellion and had nothing to do with Russians. Dr. Seaman even captioned it "HOW MANCHURIAN BANDITS PUNISH THEIR ENEMIES", and the only time he mentions beheading is when several Russians were beheaded by Chinese bandits

Just a note in case anyone uploads that image here.

Duplicate

There's a shorter article Russian Invasion of Northern and Central Manchuria (1900) with a link to Russian Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alekol (talk • contribs) 16:48, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Colonel Mishchenko

In the Battle of Pai-t'ou-tzu section it mentions a Colonel Mishchenko. I found an article about a Russian military officer who fought in Manchuria during the Boxer Rebellion named Pavel Mishchenko. Could this be him possibly? —Славянский патриот (talk) 23:45, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Bad Writing Style

The article has many duplicates, eg. regarding Russians burning Chinese villages, and could benefit from a rewrite to straighten things out. It could also greatly benefit from more details. 195.91.224.52 (talk) 17:23, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
