Vasily Mamirov, a priest in Moscow, somehow hit upon the diary and got it recorded in the church inventory. It was discovered by a Russian historian, N. M. Karamzin, in the Troitsko-Sergiyev monastery and published in 1817. In his notes, the Russian merchant recounted the religious beliefs, customs, moral situation and social features of the cultures he encountered and the problems he came across during his journey. The work constitutes in a compendium of the reflections of the author on politics, ethics and art, as well as a bright and clear manifestation of Medieval Russia. |
