In the book of Valery Yarho, covering nearly three centuries, from the time of the reign of Vasily the Dark to the start of the transformations of Peter I, the richest - and in a large part of the rare - material about foreigners who arrived at the Russian service. Italians, Germans, Dutch, Greeks, British and Scots, Swedes, representatives of other European and non -European peoples went to Muscovy, attracted by rumors about the generosity of the local rulers. Among them were architects, scribes, doctors, actors, but there were even more military and all kinds of adventurers, up to the most real pirates who traded with the Caperian certificate issued by Ivan the Terrible. Some, having made sure of Russian land well, were deprived of a home, others, on the contrary, settled here forever, took root and completely served their new homeland, and their descendants were already Russian in culture, language and customs.
