Abstract

The article is devoted to the views of British politicians and the parliamentary establishment regarding the policy of Britain and Russia in Iran in the late XIX - early XX centuries. The main problem in the relations between the two countries at the beginning of the twentieth century centered around the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907 on the delimitation of spheres of influence in the Middle East, after the signing of which old ideas and stereotypes served as a certain brake on the development of bilateral relations between Russia and Britain, acting as a source of mutual suspicion, distrust and excessive caution, which prevented the strengthening of relations between the two countries. empires. The tactics and strategy of His Majesty's government's activities to penetrate into the neutral zone of Persia and even into the northern regions, in which Russia's influence was predominant, were vigorously discussed in the British Parliament.
