中國戲曲文學題材傳播到俄羅斯的現象可以追溯到1788 年。十八世 紀下半葉中國戲曲隨着歐洲啟蒙時代「中國熱」傳播到俄羅斯，當時俄國已 出現了轉譯法文的中國戲曲改編本。十九世紀初至二十世紀初俄羅斯出現了 幾個「中國式」的劇作，其題材是西方文人，包括俄羅斯人，編造的；此類 劇本一直受藝人的歡迎。十九至二十世紀在俄羅斯也有許多中國戲曲的研 究、中國劇作的譯文，兩國的戲劇大師間的文化交流也由來已久；但有關中 國戲曲在俄羅斯的傳播及影響的學術研究至今極少。本文主旨在於綜合性地 探討該現象，分以下內容：俄羅斯人對中國戲曲早期的印象，俄羅斯以中國 故事為題材的劇作，俄羅斯學者對中國戲曲主要的研究成果，兩國戲劇藝術 交流，中國戲曲舞臺藝術對俄羅斯劇場的影響等方面。本文討論的時期範圍 從古代至當代，但以早期中國戲曲在俄羅斯的傳播與影響為主。
