Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the formation and development of the institute of Russian naval agents in Germany at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries and its influence on the Russian-German relations in the naval sphere. Changes were identified in the approach to the appointment of Russian naval attachés in Germany, and that adjustment directly affected the quality and effectiveness of the work of Russian naval agents. The source base of the study includes the documents of the Main Naval Staff and the personal fund of Admiral F.V. Dubasov from the collection of the Russian State Archives of the Navy (RGA VMF). The author comes to the conclusion that the Russian naval agents in Germany at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries acquired representative functions to the detriment of their main activities, which significantly affected the quality of work of the Russian naval agents.
