| Summary | "Московия в представлении иностранцев XVI-XVII в." by P. N. Apostol is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the perceptions of foreign travelers and scholars about Russia during the 16th and 17th centuries. It presents a rich tapestry of cultural, social, and political insights as documented through the eyes of various voyagers from an era when Russia was largely unknown to the Western world. The opening of the book sets the stage for a discussion on how foreign visitors, intrigued by the mystique of Moscow, began to shed light on its customs and landscapes. Apostol mentions key travelers like Olearij, Korb, and Gerberstein, whose records reveal a blend of fascination and misunderstanding regarding Russian life. The text highlights the early foreign perceptions of Russia, illustrating a land defined by its harsh nature and complex society, as well as the exotic and sometimes gruesome realities faced by both the locals and the visiting foreigners. This introduction establishes a thematic exploration of how these accounts contribute to a deeper understanding of historical Moscow and its people. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
