Highlighting the unquestionable priority of the Volga trade route in contacts between the eastern parts of Europe and the East from antiquity and in the Middle Ages in particular is a comprehensive source analysis, centering on the most informative of these, that is, coins, glass artifacts and glazed ceramics. The Author presents the significance and perspectives of source-oriented research on medieval glassware from the middle Volga region. The specific character of the region, its key importance in many ethno-cultural, political and historical processes, together with its massive source base of glass artifacts (which includes adornments, glass tableware, window glass) opens a broad perspective for historical reconstructions. Not only can the direction and dynamics of international relations be defined, but it is also possible to establish levels of craft and urban culture development, as well as more specific site chronologies, all of which help in stratifying the towns of Volga Bulgaria by their social status within the state.

In the book Historical Sketches of Folk Literature in Art F.I. Buslaev developed the idea that „getting closer to their primitive source, the elements of literature and art enter each other; and sometimes the author becomes an illustrator of his manuscript; and so a literary historian often through miniatures decorating the manuscript understands the idea of the text before it opens in its lines”. The validity of these lines becomes apparent when we compare the passage from the Notes by ibn Fadlan to Henryk Siemiradzki’s Obsequies of the Noble Rus in Bulgar, located in the State Historical Museum in Moscow.
