Doğu meselesi, 18. yüzyılın son çeyreği itibariyle Rusya İmparatorluğu'nun dış politikasına yön veren en mühim etkenlerden biri olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu bağlamda Rus toplumunun Müslüman bir ülke olan Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'na, geleneklerine, adetlerine, dini inancına, harp sanatlarına ve ekonomisine olan ilgisi, iki devlet arasındaki askeri, diplomatik ve ekonomik etkileşim yollarını bulma ihtiyacını da beraberinde getirmiştir. Dolayısıyla diplomatik temsilcilikler tarafından kaleme alınan raporların yanı sıra, mühim bilgiler içeren edebi eserler de önemli birer kaynak niteliğine haiz olmaktadır. Bahsi geçen edebi yapıtlardan biri de Nijniy Novgorodlu Tüccar Vasiliy Baranşikov'un Amerika, Asya ve Afrika Kıtalarındaki Talihsiz Serüveni (1780- 1787) adlı seyahatnamedir. Çalışmamızda söz konusu edebi eserin tarihi bir kaynak olarak güvenilirlik derecesi analiz edilirken, Türk-Rus gerginliğinin tavan yaptığı bir dönemde İstanbul'da yaşayan bir Rusya İmparatorluğu vatandaşının gözünden şehrin ve Osmanlı sosyal hayatının nasıl tasvir edildiği ve Baranşikov'un yaptığı karşılaştırmalar ışığında ''öteki'' algısı da incelenmektedir.
The Eastern issue appears to us as one of the most important factors that directed the foreign policy of the Russian Empire since the last quarter of the 18th century. In this context, the interest of the Russian society in the Ottoman Empire, a Muslim country, in its traditions, traditions, religious beliefs, harp arts and economics, has also brought the need to find ways of military, diplomatic and economic interaction between the two states. Therefore, in addition to the reports received by diplomatic representations, literary works containing important information are also an important source. One of the aforementioned literary works is the journey of the Nijniy Novgorod merchant Vasiliy Baranşikov to the Unfortunate Seruveni in the continents of America, Asia and Africa (1780-1787). While our study analyses the degree of reliability of the literary work as a historic source, the "other" perception is also studied in the light of how the city and Ottoman social life are depicted from the eyes of a citizen of the Russian Empire who lives in Istanbul during a period of Turkish-Russian tensions to the roof, and the comparisons made by Baranşikov.
By the end of the XVIII century, the most important problem of the Russian’s Empire foreign policy was the “Eastern question”. The interest of the Russian society in the Ottoman’s Empire traditions, customs, religion, military affairs and economy was linked to necessity to find ways for cooperation between both states in military, diplomatic and economic spheres. In this situation, literary works served as a source of useful information apart from the reports of diplomatic embassies about an exotic country. One of them was the travel notes “Unlucky adventures of Nizhny Novgorod merchant Vasily Baranshikov in three parts of the world: America, Asia and Europe in 1780-1787”, that was published in the last quarter of the 18th century (1787). The problem of authorship and authenticity of this notes also were raised in the article as well as the degree of its value as a historical source. The main attention was paid to the special features of representation of Istanbul by a Russian citizen in the East during the period of aggravation of relations between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, as well as the specifics of self-identification and perception of the “other” by our countryman.
