Muravyov diplomatic mission to the Khan of Khiva and successful return back to the Caucasus, a report on the course of the embassy to Khiva to Emperor Alexander I and much more. The material of the diary notes abounds with a large amount of rare ethnographic material from the beginning of the century before last, as well as many curious everyday sketches of the details of N.N. Muravyov's military and diplomatic service. Possessing a bright and lively syllable, the author in his diary entries gives apt and capacious characteristics of relationships with superiors, colleagues and subordinates, describes the rulers of the Caucasian and Asian principalities and khanates, among whom there were a large number of famous and colorful historical characters.
