metadata.value: The article is devoted to the study of the participation of Western European merchants in
  the concession export trade of Russia in the reign of Peter I. Concession as a way of solving
  financial problems was often used in the trade and customs policy of Russia in the 17th–18th
  centuries. Having ascended the throne, Peter I continued to actively use the concession form
  of foreign trade of the country. State-owned goods were transferred to the concession: caviar,
  rhubarb, flax, bristles, sheep wool, timber, forest chemical products. The concession export
  trade was mainly of interest to English and Dutch merchants, who had a large trade turnover
  and established themselves as reliable business partners of the government and the tsar
  personally, both in commercial and in diplomatic affairs. The state used the concessions not
  only as a solution to financial issues but also as a means to carry out foreign trade in wartime
  conditions, to obtain profitable trade orders abroad, to organize the sale of state-owned goods,
  which were not always of high quality, to attract merchants to the development of the port
  of Saint Petersburg, to encourage entrepreneurs who provided services to the Russian government.
  Participation in the concession export trade was not always profitable for foreign
  traders; some of the contracts were successfully implemented (for example, for the sale of
  rhubarb, mast wood, pitch), but for some merchants, the implementation of the contracts
  was very difficult for various reasons, and their hopes for obtaining large profits were not
  justified.
