Summary/Abstract: Sino-Russian relations have entered a new phase recently. A few centuries ago, the reality was different. The fighting for the division of the northeastern region of Asia lasted almost the entire seventeenth century. Despite the narrative of the "peaceful annexation of the Far East" prevalent in Russian historiography, Chinese sources talk about different reality.Due to border skirmishes and wars, Russia was forced to make several territorial concessions. Establishing trade relations with China turned out to be a very important foreign-economic factor even then. In addition, the young Qing Empire was also a powerful military force and was the political and cultural dominant of Central and East Asia.
