This book, for the first time in Russian historiography, presents a reconstruction of the original text of Afanasy Nikitin's Journey Beyond Three Seas. This work is not a coherent work with a single authorial intent, but rather a collection of disparate notes (diaries, drafts, fragments of writings) that have survived only as a stack of papers, a "notebook." A chronology of these notes is proposed, which allows for a new dating of Afanasy Nikitin's journey—it lasted from 1467 to 1475. The circumstances of the journey are placed within the context of the Eastern trading world, a prominent representative of which was the "Grand Vizier" Mahmud Gavan, a native of Gilan, a merchant on international routes, an Indian administrator and military leader, a poet, and a writer who played a significant role in the fate of the Russian wanderer. Particular attention is paid to the Indian history of the period in question as a whole and the history of the Bahmanid Sultanate, where Afanasy Nikitin not only lived, but possibly also served, and whose records are a unique source on the events of that time.
