The author of this text is a Russian consul in Mostar Alexei N. Kudryavtsev. The essay was written in 1867 and probably should have been included into the book “The Turkish Empire”. There are several evidences about the existence of this book, however it has not been found yet. Kudryavtsev’s essay embraces a wide range of problems of Herzegovina in the 19th century. It deals with the geography, ethnography and statistics, history of the region, as well as provides a general overview of trade, industry and communication routes in Herzegovina in 1866. The text is stored in the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire and is being published for the first time. Kudryavtsev’s essay tells us about the situation in Herzegovina and its problems. The consul gives a brief description of each area of Herzegovina. The description of trade relations is particularly important...

В основном они приезжали сюда для сбора средств на различные нужды православного населения региона или для получения образования. Для жителей Боснийского пашалыка и Герцеговинского санджака, позже объединённых в Боснийский вилайет (в 1865 г.), Россия ассоциировалась именно с Москвой. Всех русских людей они именовали «московами» 1 , а введённые в Османской империи в середине XIX в. мундиры для чиновников и военных европейского покроя называли «московским платьем» 2 . В данной статье на основании новых источников из российских архивов будет рассмотрен один из аспектов существовавших связей боснийцев и герцеговинцев с Москвой и москвичами. Речь в ней пойдет о представителях духовенства из Боснийского вилайета, посетивших Россию в 1850-1870-е годы, и о тех немногих уроженцах края, которые учились в Москве. В указанный период три выходца из Боснии и Герцеговины побывали в Москве с целью сбора средств для поддержания школ, монастырей и церквей на родине. Первым из них был иеромонах из Герцеговины Прокопий Чокорило (1802-1863). Он рано принял духовный сан, служил в Любинье (Восточная Герцеговина), а затем перебрался в Мостар. Чокорило владел греческим и русским языками. В 1858 г. на страницах московского славянофильского журнала «Русская беседа» (изд. -А.И. Кошелев) было опубликовано его сочинение «Летопись Герцеговины 1831-1857» 3 , перевод которого осуществил известный славист, общественный деятель, первый российский консул в Боснии А.Ф. Гильфердинг (1831-1872).

Acting prudently and in cool blood, in 1833 he achieved the separation of Herzegovina from Bosnia and the establishment of his sole power in it. Ali Pasha intended to expand the autonomy of the region and pass it on to his children. He managed to maintain the status of a semi-independent ruler of Herzegovina until 1851.

Ionin (1837–1900) in the Ottoman provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1857, for the first time in history, the Russian consulate was opened in the principal city of the Bosnian Pashalyk. A. Ionin was assigned to Sarajevo as a secretary and dragoman in this consulate. Here he worked under the leadership of A. Hilferding, and then E. Shchulepnikov until 1860. Ionin witnessed the uprisings in Herzegovina, worked hard on the problem of opening a Russian consulate in Mostar, and for some time unofficially served as a consul in Sarajevo. This was the first diplomatic experience of a man who eventually spent about 30 years of his life in the Balkans and was an active participant in many significant events in the history of the region.
