history
Qiqihar is one of the oldest cities in northeast China and was founded in the 17th century AD. After Russia , which occupied Manchuria in 1900 , withdrew after the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, the city remained under Russian influence due to its location on the Chinese Eastern Railway and is therefore also known by its Russian name Zizikar ( Цицикар ). It was an important military base for the Japanese control of Manchuria from 1931 to 1945 (see Manchukuo ).
