Journal of Jesuit Studies 2, no. 1 (February 26, 2015): 56–76.

In 1791, amidst growing anxiety about British encroachment on its fur trade with the Qing Empire, the Russian government discovered thatBritainwas sending a large and important embassy toBeijing, led by Lord Macartney. In an attempt to derail the negotiations,Russiaenrolled the Polotsk Jesuits in a plot to convince the Qing of the nefariousness of British designs. The conspiracy was not a success, despite Macartney’s failure. The Jesuits both inBelarusandBeijingcontinued to play a central role inRussia’s geopolitical plans in the region for the next decade and a half, although ultimately the project to establish a Russian Jesuit college in the Qing capital failed. Using Russian as well as Jesuit archival sources, the article reconstructs the secret plans, mishaps, and miscalculations that shaped this unusual relationship.
