Abstract
The article examines the legitimization of foreign diplomats by territorial circles, secular and ecclesiastical rulers, and cities of the Holy Roman Empire, using the case of the Russian mission in Frankfurt am Main, established by decree of Catherine II in 1781. Drawing on materials from the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire, the author, for the first time in historiography, illustrates the process of preparing credentials for various subjects of the empire, reconstructs the accreditation procedure for the Russian envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary Count N. P. Rumyantsev to the German courts, and identifies the ceremonial difficulties the diplomat encountered. The article pays particular attention to epistolary etiquette in communications between Russian monarchs and Imperial Estates of various levels.

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
