Grigorii Karpovich Kotoshikhin

Grigorii Karpovich Kotoshikhin
Around 1630-67
A Russian author. He was a foreign ministry official, but left Russia in 1664 and traveled through Poland and Germany before settling in Stockholm, Sweden. His work "On Russia under the Reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich" is a valuable historical document about the court, diplomacy, administrative system, and various classes of the inhabitants of that time, but even in its objective descriptions, there are views that show contempt for the mother country that he had abandoned. [Doi Tsuneyuki]

1630ころ‐67
ロシアの著作家。外務部の役人であったが,1664年にロシアを離れてポーランド,ドイツを遍歴したのち,スウェーデンのストックホルムに落ち着く。彼の著作《アレクセイ・ミハイロビチ帝の統治期のロシアについて》は,当時の宮廷,外交,行政機構,住民諸階層についての貴重な歴史文献であるが,客観的な記述のなかにも,捨てた祖国を蔑視する見解がみられる。【土肥 恒之】
