Abstract

The article discusses the diplomatic and economic nature of relations between the Safavid and Russian states in the first half of the 17th century, especially during the reign of Shah Abbas I (1587-1629). The continuation of neighborhood relations by his heirs was analyzed. Also, the geopolitical interests of both countries in the field of treasury trade and the preservation of the traditional Volga-Caspian transit trade route were studied.
