Adventures in Georgian and other countries of Ivashka Stepanov - a Russian man in January 1660, from Kiev to Moscow, governor V.B. Sheremetev sent Ivashka Stepanov, who said he was a "Russian man." Upon release, Ivashka told the story of his adventures in a foreign land. It turned out that eight years ago "his boyar, Mikipur Toluchanov, was then sent to the Georgian land" and he was with him. In the years 1650-1651, the embassy of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, headed by Nikifor Toluchanov, was in Imerty. Stepanov was Tolochanov's "courtier" and together with him traveled as part of the embassy "to the land of Georgia", to Tsar Alexander III of Imerti. Through Kabarda and the passes of the main Caucasian ridge, the Russian embassy arrived in Kutaisi in May 1651. In October 1651, when it was time to go back, Stepanov fell ill and "Abo, de Ivashka, they left Bulanovo in the Georgian land in the city of Kutais". He soon recovered, but his journey home took eight years. "At the same time, the Darians came to the Georgian land in war, and that city Kutai and other cities and villages fought and she, Ivashka, in that city Kutai was captured and sold to the land of Tours." It is worth explaining what "Darians" are. Apparently we are talking about Mingerlies. The Magarlian Principality, located in northwestern Georgia, was called the Dadian Land at that time. From the middle of the 16th century. Its rulers were the Hadedian princes, who recognized the power of the Imir kings only nominally. We note that the Mingralites, although they were Orthodox, "sold him to the land of Tors for hard labor (that is, Gallia) and he was in hard labor for eight years, and from the hard labor on the pier near the city of Tors Solnika (probably: Thessaloniki in Greece) he escaped last year 167 in the Lent of Peter (167 in Lent). After passing through Greece, Bulgaria, Wallachia and Moldavia, Stefanov "left the land of Tours for the city of Khmelnytskyi in Lithuania in the current year 168, two weeks before the Filipov fast". In this case, we mean the city of Khmelnytskyi in the current Vinnytsia region of Ukraine.
