In 922, the embassy from Baghdad reached the banks of the Volga. We know about the course of the Arab diplomats' journey to the country of Bulgar from the writings of the secretary of this embassy, Ibn Fadlan. In addition to the story about the embassy, he left us with a lot of geographical and ethnographic information about the peoples and countries that he had to visit during the journey, including the Rus. This is a valuable source of knowledge about the region at the turn of the 9th-10th centuries. What goals did the Arab diplomats pursue when they went to the Volga? What intrigues and dangers accompanied this diplomatic mission? How did the relations between the Abassid Caliphate, the Khazar Khaganate, the Oghuz state and Volga Bulgaria develop? How did the Arab embassy influence the future of Volga Bulgaria? Historian Vladislav Khabarov spoke about this at the Digital History festival and lecture hall in Kazan. #digitalhistory #egoryakovlev #festivals #history #vladislavkhabarov #volgabulgaria #ancientrus The lecture festival is organized with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives Excursions of the Digital History: https://vk.com/egortrip Support the Digital History project: Sponsr — https://sponsr.ru/dhistory/ Boosty — https://boosty.to/d_history Sberbank: 4276-5500-7886-1070 Sberbank MIR: 2202 2068 9507 7811 Donationalerts — https://www.donationalerts.com/r/digh...
