Abstract

The article examines the writings of Russian thinker Alexander Herzen on China as well as its significance as the source of Russian discourse on China and Japan. Herzen positions China as the antithesis of liberty and strongly identifying it with Europe. He poised China in this way to further criticize the West and idealize Russia.
