Abstract ｜
After Russia’s rapid territorial expansion in the Far East since the mid-1800s, the tension among Russia, China and Japan in Ease Asia spiraled out of control, thus the collective historical memory-Yellow Peril was reemerged in Russia, and was reinterpreted with the change of external world situation and its internal regime. This thesis intends to analyze Russia’s Yellow Peril since ancient time, and explore Russia's perceptions toward Yellow Peril in different periods to understand the essence of such ideas involved.
