Summary/Abstract: Napoleon said that a country’s foreign policy is determined by its geographical position and its permanent interests. German geopoliticians, led by Haushofer, did not contradict him. If, in our capacity as human geographer, we find the direct relation of the natural environment to politics too summary, by a method capable of sometimes misleading uncritical minds or even of justifying abominable acts, on the other hand, we are ready to follow Léon Némanoff in a similar demonstration, but which does not ignore the human factor and economic influences. // The author of “Russia and the Problems of Peace” is a specialist in Slavic issues, as we had noticed in the heyday of the S. d. N. His training meets scientific requirements. He even manages to remain objective, in dealing with his own country. This is not to say, however, that he will not let his patriotism pierce his words. And M. Némanoff will take us on an astonishing adventure, that of the Russian people. He will make us relive it as he feels it, intensely. Departing with him from the constants of Russian politics, we will watch a historical film which will now unfold logically, the characters of this poignant drama obeying in a way an irresistible imperative.
