A treaty Russia remembers as victory — and China as pain

On May 28, 1858, one of the key treaties in the history of Russian-Chinese relations was signed in the town of Aigun — the Treaty of Aigun between the Russian Empire and the Qing Empire. On the Russian side, it was signed by Nikolay Muravyov, Governor-General of Eastern Siberia, who later received the title Muravyov-Amursky. On the Chinese side, the document was signed by the Qing official Yishan. The treaty established a new border between the two empires along the Amur River and effectively secured Russia’s control over vast territories on the left bank of the Amur.
