ABSTRACT. <\/strong>The article examines the specifics of communications of the Vyatka merchants in the geocultural and sociocultural contexts. This topic is analyzed within the framework of the synthesis of historical and cultural approaches. The agrarian character of the Vyatka region allowed it to become one of the main grain markets of the Russian Empire already in the second half of the 17th century. It is concluded that in choosing markets, the Vyatka merchants relied on traditions and preferred to deliver their goods to where their fathers and grandfathers had previously traded. So entrepreneurs of the northern and part of the central uyezds (Vyatka, Kotelnichsky, Orlovsky and Slobodsky) focused mainly on the northern and western provinces, entrepreneurs of the southern and part of the central counties (Glazovsky, Yelabuga, Malmyzhsky, Nolinsky and Sarapulsky) \u2014 on the southern and eastern ones. The geography of the Vyatka merchants\u2019 trade relations gradually increased. The trading operations of the Vyatka merchants outside the Vyatka region can be divided into two groups: domestic and international. All goods exported by the Vyatka merchants can be divided into three groups. The first included agricultural products (beef, pork, bread), the second – processed raw materials (iron, leather, flax, timber, copper, hemp, potash, lard), the third – industrial goods (paper, leather goods, furs, linen, candles, glass products). The basis of trade between the Vyatka merchants and other provinces was grain, timber and linen. For large deposits, wealthy peasants sometimes helped the merchants in this, traveling around numerous torzhky and fairs and buying goods from rural residents. In general, the period under review was marked by active movements of merchant goods towards the port of Arkhangelsk. Domestic Russian trade through the Arkhangelsk and St. Petersburg ports required from merchants adapting to the situation and finding solutions to the current economic problems. The merchants themselves worked out 3 possible solutions, Catherine II convened a special commission for this, and the local administration tried to maintain the merchants\u2019 business reputation in the foreigners\u2019 eyes.<\/p>\n
