For much of the later nineteenth-century Britain regarded Russia as its main international rival,
particularly with regard to the security of its colonial possessions in India. Yet, by
1907,
Russia s
political revolution, financial collapse and military defeat by Japan, transformed the situation,
resulting in an Anglo-Russian rapprochement. As this book makes clear, whilst international affairs
lay at the root of this new relationship, personal factors also played an important role in reversing
many years of mutual animosity and suspicion. In particular, the study explores the influence of the
liberal
anglophile
Count
Aleksandr
Benckendoŕff,
the Russian ambassador in London between
1903
and
■ ;
^V ^
By
1905
Rpssias muitipie weaknesses required a prolonged period of external peace by eliminating
frictions with the principal rival powers, Britain and Germany^ while France and Britain realised that
a British rapprochement with Russia would be necessary to counter Germany s power.
Benekendoiff,
äs
one of the most important figures in the Russian diplomatic service, persuaded
Nicholas
ЇЇ
and his Foreign Minister, V.N. Lamsdorff, to drop their objections to various long¬
standing British demands in order to pave the way for a Triple Entente. Although the overarching
Russian strategy was conceived as balancing the imperial rivalries of Britain and Germany,
numerous factors
-
not least
Benekendorff s
energetic pro-British stance
-
upset the scales and
resulted in a stand-off with the central powers.
Demonstrating how Benekendorff s fear of losing Britain s friendship made him oppose all Russia s
efforts at improving Russo-German relations, this book underlines the pro-Entente policy s role in
setting Russia on the road to war. For when the Sarajevo crisis struck, there was now no hope of
appealing to German goodwill to help defuse the situation. Instead, Russia s status within the
Entente depended on a show of determination and strength, which lead inexorably to the disaster
of the Great War.
