      Okay I realize you all have a lot of other stuff to think about right now but I just got a copy of my book in the mail and have been told it's shipping from HUP! So here's a thread about what I was trying to do in it. https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674241855 …pic.twitter.com/pkUk81MX5E

      It's called Spies and Scholars because it's about knowledge, or the way different types of knowledge relate to each other, specifically in the context of Russian knowledge about China between ca 1618 and 1860.

      We're kind of used to reading this stuff through the lens of Said's Orientalism, which to be clear is a great book but paints in very broad strokes. Knowledge is a tool of empire, that's definitely true. But *how* it works to further empire turns out to vary widely over time.

      What the book does, basically, is look at different configurations of knowledge-making (from 17th century Siberian miscellanies to 18th c frontier espionage to 19th c scholarship) and look at how they were linked to different ideas about Russia and its imperial destiny.

      So in the early 18th c, when Russia was primarily interested in China as a source of luxury commodities, it focused on building up the Moscow-Beijing trade caravan as a hub for industrial and other kinds of espionage.

      But in the 1750s Inner Asian politics got very complicated when the Qing annexed what's now Xinjiang, and the concern became more about trying to subvert Qing control over the borderlands and prevent an invasion, shifting attention to the frontier.

      By the end of the century, Russia was becoming obsessed with China's role in its rivalry with Britain, so different China-related conspiracy theories and attempts at transnational plots began to preoccupy people in St. Petersburg, London, and Paris.

      You can read the book for the cool stories that emerge, like the complex story of the impostor Benyovszky, his rumor of a joint Russo-British assault on Beijing in the 1770s, and the fiendish plot the French thought they ferreted out as a result.pic.twitter.com/yX33VPYKIe

      Or, say, this classic series of episodes from the life of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Beijing ca 1730.pic.twitter.com/l8Oa3JV8qU

      Replying to @athenogenes

      Sorry to bother you, but I'm really interested in the original source of this. I've seen a reference in your "The Eye of the Tsar" article to 'RGIA, f. 796, op. 11, d. 23'. I've read scanned PDF of 11th opis' on RGIA site, but Platkovskii's diary isn't there (or I'm blind).

          There's 23rd case with accusations against Platkovskii and parts of his diary in Приложение II (page 212 of PDF), but I couldn't find the parts you've quoted (about tea, etc). Although I'm nor sure that I've searched RGIA archive properly. Sorry for bothering you again!
