Abstract
The article analyzes the process of forming the image of Russia and Russian people by means of Russian literature. Russian literature perception in China, the transformation of the Russian literature mission in China can be traced over five periods: Russian literature of the XIX century, Soviet “Red Classics”, Russian literature in the 1960s, Russian literature in the 1980s, Russian literature after the collapse of the USSR to the present time. Currently the amount of publication as well as the number of those who read modern Russian literature in China are gradually declining, this leads to the fact that its influence on Chinese society is decreasing. However, the influence of modern Russian literature in China will last for a long time, it is simply observed in the literature itself, not concerning other factors, because without understanding Russian fiction, it is impossible to understand the national mentality and to form the image of Russia.
