In 1891, the Tsarevich Nicholas — not yet emperor — undertook an extended journey through Asia, ostensibly to oversee the laying of the Trans-Siberian Railway's first rail at Vladivostok. The trip nearly ended in assassination at Otsu, Japan, where a policeman struck him twice with a saber before being subdued. He survived with a permanent scar and a lasting antipathy toward Japan, which some historians argue colored his decision-making during the lead-up to the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05.
Zolotoy Rog — "Golden Horn" — is the inlet forming Vladivostok's harbor, where the ceremonial groundbreaking occurred on May 31, 1891.
