Talk:Vyacheslav von Plehve

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vyacheslav von Plehve is within the scope of the Russian History WikiProject, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Russian History. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks.

"Plehve was traditionally believed to be the architect of the Russo Japanese War of 1904. Plehve was reputed to have said: "We need a small, victorious war to avert a revolution." However, recent research has shown that this verdict rests upon misinformation deliberately spread by Sergei Witte, Plehve's enemy."

Does anyone know where this "recent research" is from?
