The here presented project wants to investigate for the first time a sefaret-name about an official embassy to the court of the Russian empress Katharina II (reigned 1762-96) which the Ottoman chancellor Mustafa Rasih (died 1804/05) conducted on behalf of Sultan Selim III. (reigned 1789-1807) from the end of 1792 until February 1794. The project aims at (1) philologically analyzing the document (edition and translation) and (2) answering the question how much information the Ottoman power elite could gather from it. This requires (3) an embedding of the report into the history of the sefaret-names during the 18th century against the backdrop of the Ottoman-Russian relations. Last, but not least, (4) the text has to be linked with the contemporary multicultural society (keywords: Phanariots, reformers, European emissaries) in Istanbul.

这里提出的项目希望首次调查俄罗斯女皇卡塔琳娜二世（Katharina II，1762-96 年在位）宫廷的官方大使馆的秘密名称，该项目由奥斯曼帝国总理穆斯塔法·拉西赫（Mustafa Rasih，卒于 1804/05 年）代表苏丹塞利姆三世进行。 （1789-1807 年在位）从 1792 年底到 1794 年 2 月。该项目旨在 (1) 从语言学角度分析该文件（版本和翻译），以及 (2) 回答奥斯曼权力精英可以从中收集多少信息的问题。这需要 (3) 将报告嵌入 18 世纪奥斯曼-俄罗斯关系背景下的 Sefaret 名称历史中。最后但并非最不重要的一点是，（4）文本必须与伊斯坦布尔当代多元文化社会（关键词：法纳里奥人、改革者、欧洲使者）联系起来。
