Muravyov was the governor of Eastern Siberia during the Tsarist period, and the biggest culprit in helping Tsarist Russia seize more than 1 million square kilometers of territory east of China's Outer Khingan Ridge and the Ussuri River. But for more than 20 years, there has been a scramble to build monuments to Muravyov all over Russia, especially in the Russian Far East, and as a Chinese to travel there, wherever you go, you will not be able to avoid Mulawyov's arrogant demeanor and greedy gaze.
Coming from a noble family in St. Petersburg, Russia, Muravyov was a seafaring expert and his relatives were mostly court eunuchs, and his father served in the disputed Nebuchu region of China and Russia. In December 1847, the tsar appointed Muravyov as the governor of Eastern Siberia, and he was 38 years old when he took office, a young man of the Russian army, in order to complete the tsar's invasion of the Heilongjiang River basin and open up Russia's eastern access to the sea, he advocated toughness against China. In 1854, Muravyov led the Russian fleet and forcibly broke into the Chinese inland river Heilongjiang to "borrow" to go to sea, and then continued to garrison and emigrate in Heilongjiang, gradually completing the actual occupation of the north bank of Heilongjiang.
On May 28, 1858, Muravyov forced the Chinese general Yishan of Heilongjiang to sign the Treaty of Yaohun, on the basis of which Russia ceded 600,000 square kilometers of land north of Heilongjiang and south of the Outer Xing'an Ridge in China, and also designated 400,000 square kilometers of land east of the Ussuri River and south of the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, including Sakhalin, as a Sino-Russian condominium area, causing heavy losses to China's national sovereignty and territory, leaving a legacy for a hundred years. For his outstanding fulfillment of the mission of expanding the territory for Tsarist Russia, Muravyov was canonized by the Tsar with the title of Amur (Амурский) in recognition of his meritorious service in the establishment of the Heilongjiang River basin and Eastern Siberia.
Today, in Russia's Far East, statues of Muravyov are found in many cities, including Vladivostok, Khabarovsk (Boli) and Blagoveshchensk (Hailan Bubble). Construction of the bronze statue of Muravyov in Vladivostok began in 1991, and in 1992 the remains of Muravyov were moved from Paris to the center of Vladivostok, and his bronze statue was inaugurated in the Golden Horn on June 23, 2012. Should China also erect statues of heroes who resisted the invasion of Tsarist Russia in Yaohun City and Suifenhe, talk about the souls of heroes who resisted the Tsarist invasion and defend the territory, and remind future generations not to forget the events of their past lives?
The 5,000-denomination ruble banknote now bears the portrait of Muravyov, indicating that this man is considered a hero of expansion in today's Russia.

In 1858, when the Anglo-French army attacked Beijing, Russia took advantage of the fire and looted and demanded that the Qing Dynasty cede the land north of Heilongjiang. Under the coercion of force by the governor of East Siberia of Tsarist Russia, Muravyov, the Heilongjiang general Yishan was forced to sign the Treaty of Yaohun with him. It ceded more than 600,000 square kilometers of land south of the Outer Xing'an Ridge and north of Heilongjiang.
