The article deals with the topic of how Russian liberal parties of the early twentieth century - the Party of the Constitutional Democrats (the Kadets), the Octobrist Party (the Octobrists) and the Progressive Party (the Progressives) - interpreted the range of issues associated with the foreign policy of the Russian Empire, such as imperialism, militarism, colonial policy, nationalism and pacifism. The authors hypothesize that the above-mentioned Russian liberal parties, despite all the differences in their political, economic and social views, adhered to the same foreign-policy approach which could be referred to as liberal imperialism. In particular, all three parties called on the Russian government to prepare for the intensive economic competition for new markets and trade flows, as well as for a potentially possible imperialist war between great European powers. According to the Kadets’, Octobrists’ and Progressives’ concepts, Russia's foreign policy should be highly proactive and imperialistic, and should be based on a strong military presence both in Europe and in Asia.

俄罗斯自由主义者与 20 世纪初俄罗斯外交政策的概念基础

这篇文章讨论了 20 世纪初俄罗斯自由党——立宪民主党（立宪民主党）、十月党（十月党）和进步党（进步党）——如何解释相关问题的范围。与俄罗斯帝国的外交政策，如帝国主义、军国主义、殖民政策、民族主义和和平主义。作者假设，上述俄罗斯自由党尽管在政治、经济和社会观点上存在差异，但仍坚持可称为自由帝国主义的同一种外交政策方法。特别是，三方都呼吁俄罗斯政府为新市场和贸易流动的激烈经济竞争做好准备，以及欧洲大国之间可能发生的帝国主义战争。按照立宪民主党、十月党和进步党的理念，俄罗斯的外交政策应该是高度积极主动和帝国主义的，应该以在欧洲和亚洲都有强大的军事存在为基础。
