Abstract
The article is based on scientific materials published in the PR China in the first half of the 1990s. It examines the views of Chinese scholars on Moscow's actions in the post-Yugoslav space in the first years after the dissolution of the SFRY and armed conflicts, the most well-known of which was the war in Bosnia 1993‒1995. Special attention is paid to their assessment of the influence of RF policy on the balance of forces in the region. It also analyses vectors of Russia’s actions and interests and reveals the dynamics of its periodic adjustment: from a subordinate position in the concert of Western powers to the desire to exert its own influence staying in the framework of forced self-constraints.
