Talk:Visa history of Russia

What does "Novotorgovsky" refer to?
The sentence Novotorgovsky retired on 22 April 1667 was the first attempt at legislative regulation of the legal status of foreigners in the Russian state. has me mystified? How does "Novotorgovsky", apparently an act of law, "retire", as though it were a person? The only reference to "Novotorgovsky" I could find seems to refer to a an old building in Pskov citadel (see page 6 footnotes). Could this be a mangled reference to Afanasy Ordin-Nashchokin the foreign minister active at the time, who retired to Pskov? Dhtwiki (talk) 00:20, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Should be Novotorgovsky charter of 22 April 1667 was... apparently. Seems as if the text was run through machine translation. The original must have had the word устав (ustav), which may be interpreted as a noun ('charter') or a past transgressive ('while having got tired'; from устать - 'get tired').78.102.45.3 (talk) 08:54, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for responding. I see that the article already reads similarly. I don't remember whether I figured it out or someone else gave it a better translation. Dhtwiki (talk) 12:09, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
