| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article examines the formula "The Pacific Ocean is the Mediterranean Sea of the future," which was quite widely known in Russia in the early 20th century as a call for a stronger presence in the Pacific Ocean. We trace the 19th century formation of this idea, associated with the names of Aleksander Hertzen, Lev Mechnikov, and the classical works of global geopolitics. The author concludes that representatives of Russian social and political thought were among the first ideologues of Asia-Pacific cooperation. |
