The author pays the most attention to the contribution of Academician Tikhvinskij into the studies of image of Russia in China. The author of the article believes that it was S.L. Tikhvinskij who was the first among Russian sinologists to show in detail the process of evolution of the image of Russia in China throughout the history of Russian-Chinese relations. He proposed a clear and scientifically based periodization of this process, highlighting the main stages of the evolution of this image. S.L. Tikhvinskij also proved that the majority of the periods he considered were characterized by ambivalence of Russia's perceptions in China, and was able to explain the reasons for such a phenomenon in each of the segments of historical development. Thus, it was Tikhvinskij who should be considered the founder of imagological approach in China studies
