| Summary/Abstract |
This article is devoted to the political dimension of Russian consulates' activities in Mongolia between 1861 and 1917, and to their role in implementing the Russian "Far Eastern strategy." The imperial consulates made a significant contribution to the resolution of the "Mongolian problem" as an efficient mechanism of Russia's mediation in Mongolia's efforts to achieve autonomy, and in the "Kobdo" and "Altai" issues in the early 20th century. The article also analyzes the consulates' work to reinforce Russia's positions in Outer Mongolia and to maintain the balance of forces in the competitive international regional subsystem of the period.
