- Abstract
- The paper examines an interesting and less-know chapter in the history of Sino- Russian relations on Far East in late 19th century. In that period Russian army repeatedly performed operations in parts of Manchuria (North-Eastern China), adjoining to Ussury and Amur regions of Russia. All these actions were related to the problem of honghuzi ("red bearded") - well-organized Manchurian bandits. Gangs of honghuzi migrated across Sino-Russian border, committing offence both in China and Russia. Stalking honghuzi, Russian detachments could penetrate into Chinese territory up to 100 km. In some cases these were conscious actions, otherwise - mistakes of way finding. Such raids into Chinese territory were not encouraged by Russian military command, since they could provoke serious border incidents. A perfect example of this is the so called "Shitouling Case" - bloody clash between Chinese regiment and Russian Cossack squadron in upper reaches of Mulinghe River in June of 1879. Due to this incident both neighboring states had to take steps to improve border situation and suppress criminal activity. Nevertheless, episodic Russian military raids to Manchuria took place after 1879. In some cases they were joint Sino-Russian actions against banditry.
