Abstract
As 16th-century Muscovy started returning to European policy using military expansion, diplomacy and propaganda, the question of renewing its communications with the Holy Roman Empire, the leading continental power, swiftly arose. To that end the tsars used every possible tool, including gifts to the emperors and their diplomats. However, Russian presents, gift-giving practices and rituals were strikingly different from those of their imperial counterparts, which offered new diplomatic possibilities to both tsars and emperors, although sometimes that difference impeded their communications, self-representation and foreign policy. This article sheds light on what gifts the Russians gave to the Austrian Habsburgs and their emissaries, how they were given, received and understood, how well they worked as diplomatic, cultural and self-representation tools and what they can tell us about the mutual images of the Russian and imperial elites.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
