Abstract
The article examines the visit of the Derbent ruler Imam Kuli-bek to St. Petersburg in 1726-1727. Such visits from outlying lands to meet with the supreme rulers were not frequent occurrences; they could take place in the event of a special attitude of the supreme authorities towards representatives of other ethnic groups. The reasons for the naib's visit to St. Petersburg are analyzed, all his petitions, both personal and in the interests of the city community, submitted by him during the trip, are studied. The visit of Naib Imam Quli-bek to the capital ended successfully, with the full satisfaction of the requests of the Naib. Archival materials, introduced into scientific circulation for the first time in this publication, show the Naib of Derbent as an experienced politician and a loyal ally of the Russian government.
