You need to explain. I was discssing the general apathy toward the Second Russo-Japanese War; do you have anything to say about why it has been ignored by HISTORIANS?

Just a guess, but the general secrecy from the Soviet side of The Cold War might have something to do with it. Soviet first-hand sources were probably unavailable to Western historians. I don't think Joseph Stalin would have looked too kindly on Zhukov being interviewed by a Brit or an American for instance.
