Prince Potemkin, the favorite of the empress, headed the Department of External Relations and developed violent activities to strengthen the southern borders of the Russian Empire. One of the strategic tasks was the accession of the Crimean Khanate in order to establish themselves to the Russians on the Black Sea. Back in 1765, Catherine issued a decree on the creation of a branched network of secret agents in the Northern Black Sea region and Crimea.
