In the State Archives of the M.I.D. there is also a Case about calling merchants to the population in the fortress of St. Demetrius of Rostov, from 1764, XVI type. No. 686 and About the structure of the fortress of St. Dimitri. State Arch. XX r. No. 230. Case 1762–1763 Garrison office of the fortress of St. Demetrius announces to the Military Collegium that, according to the highest decree of the late Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, the transfer of the fortress of St. Anna from the current one to another place at the “Rich Well” tract, with the renaming of her name to St. Demetrius, merchants and sutlers were required; It was announced that they would be exempt from duties for 3 years and that they would not make any difficulties in moving to the border fortress. But there are no merchants who would like to go there; There are sutlers only from Kursk, because the fortress is remote, treeless, and everyone is afraid of the high cost of supplies. There are up to 60 merchants there, and they are poor and without income. Under such circumstances, it is advisable to arrange for people from different cities to live, as was the case in Azov and Troitsky; then, make a fair so that merchants from Constantinople come to the new fortress. The Military College requests for the first time up to 100 families to enter the new fortress of St. Demetrius of Rostov to the commandant's department without salary for capitation and recruiting duties. July 1762, 22 days, Empress Catherine II herself in the Senate said that a fortress near Temernik at the “Rich Well” tract instead of the St. Anna to continue to build non-stop, to order to a foreign board that “Porta should lag behind its claim, the strongest explanation and harassment should be made again,” because Demetrius’s fortress is not rebuilt, but is being rebuilt instead of a run-down fortress located in an unhealthy area and not in opposition to the treaty - “along the line opposite the “Nameless Mound,” closer to the east.”
