metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The paper based on materials from Fonds 77 “Relations between Russia and Persia” of the Russian
  State Archive of Ancient Acts describes numerous episodes related to robberies and other
  conflicts between Russian and Iranian subjects in the context of the common amiable policy
  of their monarchs. Almost every letter from Shah Safi I (1629–1642) which was addressed
  to Mikhail Fedorovich contained assurances of a friendly attitude (“loving friendship”). The
  strategic line chosen by the two monarchs aimed at preserving and developing trade contacts
  between the two states was noticeably limited to tactical actions for the personal benefit of
  Russian and, to a larger extent, Iranian officials, representatives of the regional administration.
  The uprisings on the periphery of the Safavid state, in particular in Gilan, were accompanied
  by numerous cases of robbery of the tsar’s subjects. The Cossack raids, which intensified in the
  Caspian in view of Moscow’s ban on “going” to the Black Sea coast in the early 1630s, were already one of the main obstacles to Iranian trade. At the same time, the example of the embassy
  of the merchant (in Russian — kupchina, tsar’s or shah’s trade representative) Khvaji Rakhmat
  (1630–1631), the attempts of the Astrakhan governors to stop the robberies of the Cossacks on
  the Caspian coast, as well as the actions of the Shah to compensate for the property robbed in
  Lakhidjan, demonstrate that the two sides intended to maintain the “loving friendship”, albeit
  with varying degrees of success.
