The young Holstein nobleman F. V. Berchholtz arrived in Russia in 1721 in the retinue of Duke Karl Friedrich of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp and remained there until 1727, when the Duke, having married Princess Anna, daughter of Peter I, departed for his homeland. Throughout this time, Berchholtz kept a detailed, day-by-day diary, describing life at the royal court and aristocratic circles in both capitals. Without touching on high politics, Berchholtz's diary is a unique historical source, containing invaluable material on Russian court life at the end of the reign of Peter the Great and the beginning of the reign of Catherine I.

The diary's dating was clarified, the text was verified, an introduction, detailed scholarly commentary, and an annotated index were prepared specifically for this edition.
