Also regimental histories/полковые истории sometimes also very useful.

What I´m looking for, is a book, which describes their uniforms and the shoulder straps during the period of the russian-japanese war until 1919.

Describes them in English/German do you mean?

If so, then I don't know such book.

[The Prussian]

Yes. English, french or german. These are my "readable" languages. Italian or spanish is possible too... But unfortunately can´t read any word in russian...

I guess you could try

"Uniforms of the Imperial Russian Army" by Boris and John Mollo that was published in 1979 by Blandford Press.

"Imperial Russian Field Uniforms and Equipment 1907-1917" by Johan Somers published by Schiffer in 2008.

[The Prussian]

Ah, ok! I´ll check those books! Thank you for the hints!

[JapanX]

No problem!

With one of these two I will help in a couple of minutes
