For example, information on the embassy headed by A.F. Negri to Bukhara in 1820, the purpose of the embassy, representatives of the embassy, and the works created by them will be analyzed. Russian officer and tourist E.K.Meyendorff, the representative of the embassy, was assigned to identify suitable places for building a fortress in the lands from Orsk and Troisk to Syrdarya, to conduct astronomical observations of longitude and latitude, and to monitor road routes.

 The embassy also included naturalist, botanist, zoologist, entomologist, paleontologist, doctor and traveler E.A. Eversman, who was a doctor in the Russian embassy to Bukhara in 1820, on the recommendation of Orenburg Governor-General Essen, attended. He came to Bukhara in the guise of a Tatar merchant as part of the embassy. E. A. Eversman's work provides detailed information on the internal and external trade and economic relations of the Bukhara Khanate, and also analyzes the presence of many caravanserais in the city.

In 1841, the expedition of lieutenant colonel K.F. Butenyev, known as the Bukhara expedition of 1841-1842, was sent from Russia to Bukhara, which included M. Bogoslovsky, V. Leman, N.

K.F. Butenev himself published several articles on mining, mineralogy and numismatics in the Bukhara Emirate in the magazine.

The representative of K.F. Butenyev's mission was the great Russian orientalist, diplomat, translator Nikolay Khanikov, who was considered the second person in the embassy. At the end of his visit to Bukhara, Khanikov created his work "History of the Khanate of Bukhara".

This article analyzes the trade and economic relations of the Bukhara Emirate, internal and external trade, caravan palaces, their construction, names, to whom they belong, prices for renting rooms, and merchants from different countries who lived there.
