Abstract
The development of the Russian-Chinese fur trade in the 18th-19th centuries is considered based on private statistics. A brief description of the source and a biographical note of its compiler are given. It is noted that in the 18th – first half of the 19th century the main point in the organization of the Russian-Chinese fur trade was Kyakhta. In 1800, the share of fur raw materials in trade with China was 70 %. In 1824–1828 Russian fur exports amounted to 3.2 million rubles in 1836–1840 – 2.6 million rubles. In the first half of the 19th century the total turnover of Russian-Chinese trade reached 800 million rubles. In the second half of the 19th century in China, there was still a high demand for Russian furs, which came from Russia through large fairs.
