I go over the early Bolshevik state's relationship with Imperial Japan. You won't be surprised to find out it is acrimonious. I tell the story of Sergei Lazo, the Nikolaevsk Incident, the industries backing détente with the Soviets, and the rise of Japanese conceptions of pan-Asianism. To wrap up, I talk about the man of steel himself, and his words for and against Japan.
