The article presents the overview of the publications on the Russo-Japanese War from the local Russian newspaper «Kubanskie oblastnye vedomosti» («Kuban Regional News»). The author tries to piece together a picture of the life of the Chinese empire and its inhabitants during the period of 1904–1905, using the information from the newspaper. The publications that mention China complied on the basis of either the letters from Kuban Cossacks who were sent to fight at the East or the articles reprinted from metropolitan newspapers. It is concluded that the image of China created by the participants of the war was rather unattractive.
