Examination of Russian Far Eastern School of Sinology on the Society and Culture of Northeast China(1897-1926)
In 1899,Russia established the Oriental Institute in Vladivostok,serving as both an educational in-stitution and a research center for the Russian government in the Far East.Focused on gathering intelligence,the Institute became a key hub for studying real issues in China,particularly in Northeast China.Through nu-merous visits to the region,teachers and students developed a distinctive Far Eastern school of Chinese stud-ies,exploring public life,history,culture,economics,trade,novels,and literature in Northeast China.This school of thought,known as the Far Eastern School,pioneered modern Russian sinological research and played a crucial role in collecting information on Northeast China for the Russian government while shaping strategic approaches towards China.The Oriental Institute marked a significant academic shift in the history of Russian Sinology.
