Summary/Abstract: The article redefines the concept of an artistic image perception and explores the process of artistic perception of China and the Chinese in the Soviet literature of the 1920s–1940s. The authors reveal the typology of the political and poetic settings, which defined the approach to creating images of China and the Chinese. According to researchers, personal experience of communication with another culture and political non-involvement became the main criteria for the creation of a reliable literary image of the Chinese and China. Factual and dramatic genres became the main ones demanded by the Soviet literature of those years and embodied the perception of the image of China and the Chinese.
