abstract note	Upon his arrival in Adrianople (1863) Baha'u'llah (1817-1892), the founder of a new religion – the Baha’i Faith, started the gradual proclamation of his Mission as a new Prophet, sent to unite all the peoples of the world. This proclamation was mainly in the form of epistles (Tablets) addressed to the adherents of different religions, various communities and social groups around the world. Among these, one major Tablet, the Suriy-i-Muluk is addressed to all the kings and rulers collectively. Others include Epistles to Nasir ad-Din Shah of Persia, Napoleon III of France, the German Kaiser (later emperor) Wilhelm I, Francis Joseph of Austria and Hungary, Pope Pius IX, the Russian Czar Alexander II, Queen Victoria of Great Britain and Sultan Abdul Aziz of Turkey. The St.-Petersburg Branch of the Institute of Oriental Studies has most of these Epistles in the original Arabic or Persian in its unique collection of manuscripts of Babiism and the Baha’i Faith which defines itself as the fourth world religion after Christianity, Islam and Buddism. This article gives a brief sketch of some of these Tablets, illustrated by extracts of the Epistles in Russian translation, and also deals with Russia as presented in some of the writings of Baha'u'llah.
