Германия в Борьбе За Бакинскую Нефть: К Истории Колониального Противостояния ( 1918 Г.)

A Russian-language scholarly article on Germany's colonial rivalry over Baku oil in 1918.

This article by I. V. Turitsyn, published in Sovremennaya nauchnaya mysl, examines German policy toward Baku's oil resources in 1918 as a case of colonial rivalry. The author argues that Germany, avoiding a direct advance on Baku and open conflict with Moscow, secured an indirect presence in Azerbaijan first through the Baku Commune and then through its ally Turkey. The record is relevant to the collection for the international context of the Army of Islam's Baku campaign.
