China and Alexander Nevsky: in the Wake of the Enigmatic Expedition of 1261

The article highlights the problem related to the early period of the history of RussianChinese relations: could the first Russian expedition to China take place in 1261? Chinese scholar and official of the 13th century Wang Yun mentioned the arrival of travelers from the country of Fa-lan in the beginning of the reign of Kublai Khan. The history of the appearance and study of this text is considered. The basic version, from where could come this mission, is defined. The arguments that indirectly testify in favor of the Russian version of the origin of this expedition are given.

1. V literature XIX — nachala KhKh veka mozhno vstretit' upominanie o yakoby imevshem mesto v 1567 g. puteshestvii Ivana Petrova i Burnasha Yalycheva, odnako, kak pokazali issledovaniya Kh. Trusevicha i F. I. Pokrovskogo, soobschenie o dannoj ehkspeditsii — ehto vsego lish' literaturnaya popytka udrevneniya bolee pozdnej, dejstvitel'no imevshej mesto ehkspeditsii Ivana Petlina 1618 g. Drugoe spornoe svidetel'stvo o pribytii russkikh v Kitaj v seredine XVI veka mozhno najti v soobschenii portugal'skogo pirata F.-M. Pinto. Esli ehto soobschenie ne yavlyaetsya vymyslom morskogo razbojnika, to ego mozhno interpretirovat' kak soobschenie o potomkakh russkikh soldat, uvedennykh v plen mongolami v XIV veke ili o russkikh plennikakh, kuplennykh nekim sredneaziatskim vlastitelem dlya svity i pribyvshikh v Kitaj so svoim gospodinom. Takim obrazom, nikakikh dokazatel'stv o diplomaticheskikh kontaktakh dvukh stran do 1618 g. net. Podrobnee sm.: Bronnikov V. L. Russkie v Kitae v XVI veke // Sodruzhestvo. 2017. № 14. S. 4–17.
