Dynamics of Structures and Historical Reconstruction of the Albazin Fort on the Amur River

The results of the analysis of materials are presented, showing the dynamics of the structures of the Albazin fort from the first acquaintance of E. P. Khabarov with the little town of the Daurian prince Albaza in 1650 to the signing of the Treaty of Nerchinsk in 1689, according to which it had to be destroyed. It was found out that it was the “residence” of Russian explorers until 1672, when N. Chernigovsky built a small new fort on it. In the 1680s, it was completely in cluded in the perimeter of the large wooden fortress of A. Tolbuzin, which was burned by the Manzhu’s in 1685. The last fort was made of wood and earth, so it withstood the long Manzhu’s siege of 1686. Currently, a full-size copy of the wooden fort is installed near the city of Blagoveshchensk.
