Indian traders there specialized in importing Indian goods. ey also brought Eastern goods from Persia and Central Asia into Russia. ey exported to Persia Russian marchandise and also western European commodities bought from Russian and European merchants. However, Russians protested against what they called ‘excessive prots’ earned by Indians. e Russian government eventually asked all the Eastern traders (excluding the Armenians) not to take up retail business and to conne their operations within the city of Astrakhan.
