“…Також данський посланець не міг отримувати вчасно листи з Данії 64 та змушений був платити за дипломатичну кореспонденцію з власної кишені 65 . Нерозвинена поштова система на російських територіях 66 дуже контрастувала з розвиненою європейською мережею 67 , пруський приклад якої Юст Юль описує у своєму журналі 68 . Недосконалість цього комунікаційного каналу додавала іміджу цієї країни лише «мінусів» від іноземців різного рангу (дипломатів, купців та ін.…”

This article deals with the concept of the periphery and its definition in the early 18th century. According to Peter Burke and his reflections in «History and Social theory», the known dichotomy «centre-periphery» (I. Wallerstein) can be employed in historical studies, not only in political or economic research. Therefore we aim to analyze the travel diary written by the Danish ambassador Just Juel within his diplomatic mission to Muscovy (1709–1711) and outline his main impressions and conclusions on the early-modern Russian cities and other «issues» (e.g. road infrastructure, economy, communication systems, architecture, food market) which later contribute to the image of Russia in the early modern epoch. This ego-narrative contains some prevailing views of Russia as the European periphery: distant, uncivilized, poorly connected with the rest of the continent, economically and politically underdeveloped country. Also, this travel account shapes peculiar Danish perception of the early-modern Petrine Russia and its location on the mental map.

“…The post developed quickly between the fifteenth and sixteenth century in the Holy Roman Empire, largely due to the communication needs of the Habsburg dynasty. 113 The European postal system, whose main route ran from Brussels through the Alps to Italy, relied on "a sequence of horses ridden by a single rider across a series of organised stages." 114 In France, a system of postal couriers were developed as a royal service in 1464.…”

This entry surveys the means by which news was communicated in Europe between around 1450 and 1700 as well as the culture of news in this period. It focuses on manuscript news services as well as printed news pamphlets and the stuttering and inauspicious early history of the newspaper industry. These centuries were most notable in the history of journalism and news for the growth of an accessible and regular international postal network through which news could flow; the commodification of news, and an increasing appetite for regular news which was to extend across virtually all urban classes.
