Abstract:
Derbent was known not only in the Safavid era, but also from the ancient times due to its neighborhood with the northern Dagestan and the nomads. It was also the gateway to the Caucasus, Arran and Iran. In the Safavid era, the importance of Derbent, in addition to its strategic position as a border town, was from the religious perspective. It was a place for immigration of Shiite Qizilbashes. The city was also on the way to the silk trade road of the Caucasus and Guilan, and traders traded their products from the port of this city with Russia or elsewhere. The first Safavid kings valued the city due to its importance in the Safavid administrative system; however, in the late Safavid era, many times Derbent witnessed the invasion of the Dagestanians, the Cossacks and the other tribes. The reason for this was the lack of attention from the Safavid government to preserve the border and strategic areas. According to the available reports, it can be concluded that Derbent has consistently been the key to conquering the Caucasus, Arran and Guilan by the invaders of northern Dagestan and Russia. Due to its geographic location, Derbent was Iran's land and sea trading center with Russia. The lack of attention of the rulers to this area had an adverse effect on Iran's political life. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of political and commercial roles of Derbent on the relationships between Iran and Russia during the Safavid era, especially its final periods.
