metadata.value: The study investigates the materials of the Russian ambassade S. Islen’ev and M. Griazev to
  the court of the Qizilbash shah Safī, stored in the funds of Russian State Archive of Ancient
  Acts. The archival file is a set of documents reflecting the process of the exchange of embassies
  between the Russian Tsardom and the Safavid Empire in 1635–1637. The aim of the embassy
  of S. I. Islen’ev and M. K. Griazev was to discuss some topical issues of bilateral relations such as
  duties, restitution cases, the purchase of Iranian niter etc. In addition, the documents describe
  the features of the court ceremonial in relation to foreign guests. The good preservation of
  the documents gives researchers the opportunity to study the ambassade at great length. As
  for the results of the embassy of Islen’ev and Griazev, they can be regarded as moderately
  positive. The high level of bilateral relations and their positive nature (“friendship and love”)
  were confirmed. In addition, the Safavid side once again confirmed the need to verify the
  membership of embassies and trade missions. On the other hand, the attempt of the tsar’s
  ambassadors to purchase niter in the shah’s possessions ended in failure. In general, the
  embassy of S. Islen’ev and M. Griazev was an ordinary diplomatic mission in terms of tasks
  and results, but this is its value for a scholar. Sustainability of the bilateral agenda and the
  presence of well-known “stumbling blocks” in its framework contributed to the regularity of
  Russian-Safavid ties.
