Summary/Abstract: This article investigates the features of registration of foreigners in the mid-17th century boyar lists. It is established that conferring of a courtier rank on a service-class foreigner who had adopted Orthodox Christianity depended heavily on his origin and former social status. The most notable foreigners became stolniks and Moscow noblemen. However, the majority of them were recorded in the lists of foreigners serving with Moscow noblemen. The names of some foreigners were later transferred to the list of Moscow noblemen, finally equalizing social statuses of “ours” and former “theirs”.
