This monograph examines the perception of the Chinese Empress Dowager Cixi—the de facto ruler of China for nearly half a century—in Russian public opinion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It examines Cixi's life from concubine to empress dowager, her political activities, her role in key events of the era, including the Boxer Rebellion, as well as her daily life and personal characteristics, revealing a private side to the empress's life. The study draws on a comprehensive analysis of archival materials and periodicals, which contributes to a more accurate description of Cixi's image in the Russian public's imagination and reveals new aspects of the perception of the "image of the other" in the context of Russian-Chinese relations. This book is intended for historians, teachers, students, and the general public interested in the history of Russian-Chinese relations.
