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.'Book Title: The Amur River - Between Russia and China Author: Colin Thubron Reference Page: 97 ISBN - 978-1-784-74287-4 Publication date: 16/09/2021

The British author Colin Thubron passes through the town of Nerchinsk in his journey along the Amur River. He describes with his powerful words the decline of Nerchinsk and its history linked to the now defunct mining industry. Thubron, with his immense knowledge of Russia, informs us of famous visitors who have travelled through Nerchinsk, one of them being Anton Checkov in 1890. Thubron guides the reader through the historical events of the 1689 Treaty of Nerchinsk and Russia - China historical relations. "Nerchinsk keeps the frail bone structure of a former dignity. Its restored cathedral, whose bell tower was destroyed long ago, overlooks a silent road near the town's heart."
