In 2024, at the Eastern Economic Forum, it was decided to establish a Day in memoriam for N.N. Muravyov-Amursky, which will be celebrated annually on his birthday - August 23. Festive events in honor of the 216th anniversary of Muravyov-Amursky are taking place in Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and Blagoveshchensk.
It is difficult to overestimate the personality of Count Muravyov-Amursky. By all accounts and characteristics, he is a remarkable statesman, a man without whom the history of the Far East, and the Far East itself, would have no relation to Russia.
Muravyov concluded the famous Treaty of Aigun, which, together with the Treaty of Beijing that followed two years later, resolved the Amur issue for Russia, that is, it annexed the lands on which we now live to the country of which we are citizens. For this, he received the title of count from the country and a prefix to his name, forever entering Russian history as Nikolay Nikolayevich Muravyov-Amursky, Governor-General of Eastern Siberia. The man to whom the largest Far Eastern cities owe their appearance - Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and Blagoveshchensk, to whom the country owes the fact that Siberia and the Far East today are the territory of our country.
