In the words of the British travel writer Colin Thubron who travelled to the border village of Albazin (Albazino) on his way to the Pacific following the flow of the Amur River: 'It was Russia's first, stubborn bulwark in the territory, staking out Moscow's earliest claim to the Amur... Albazin is heady with martyrdom and loss, eased by the triumph of eventual reconquest.'
