Derbent in the Economic Plans of the Russian Empire in 1722–1735 (On the 300th Anniversary of the Persian Campaign of Peter I)
( Pp. 19-25)

The article examines the measures of the Russian government for the economic modernization of the city of Derbent based on the analysis of documents and special historical literature. Derbent, thanks to the measures of the Russian administration, became not only the administrative and political, but also the economic center of the North-Eastern Caucasus in 1722–1735. It is emphasized that through the efforts of the Russian authorities in the period under review, a state-owned palace farm was created in Derbent, providing supplies of wine, grapes, fruits, vegetables, etc. to the imperial court. It is stated that the work carried out by the Russian government on the reconstruction of the commercial harbor in Derbent has further intensified commercial shipping on the Caspian Sea. Derbent has entered the sphere of international transit trade on the western coast of the Caspian Sea. It is concluded that, despite the inconsistency of individual projects, the comprehensive measures of the Russian authorities for the economic modernization of Derbent as a whole have yielded tangible results.
