| 概要 |
It is evident that after the mid sixteenth century Russians were sailing to the Ob Bay in Western Siberia and to the country of Mangazeya in the east along the coast of the Arctic Ocean. Their aim was... to exchange their shipped goods for the fur offered by Siberian natives. But the use of such a route was forbidden by the chief officer (voevoda) of Tobolsk in 1619. Since then, to get to Mangazeya from Tobolsk, the first half of their course had been the passage down the river Ob to its mouth, and the latter half from there across the bays of both Ob and Taz finally to the destination. Mangazeya was the place where exchange had been made of a great deal of fur up to 1640' s. But thereafter the center of fur industry moved eastwards to the river Lena and, moreover, the main trade route in Siberia moved southwards. Thus its out-of-the-way location brought about Mangazeya's declination and, in turn, the prohibition of the sea route to it in the way mentioned above in 1667. But the coastal route of the Arctic Ocean was resumed by Russians toward the end of the seventeenth century.続きを見る
