Summary/Abstract: Title: The Petitions of the Representatives of the Moscow Ranks of the Monarch Court in the 1640s as a Source on the History of the Interaction between the Supreme Authority and Military Servicemen. Summary: This article investigates the informational possibilities of unpublished petitions of the 1640s by studying the interaction between the supreme authority and the military servicemen of the Moscow ranks. The petitions are classified by their content. It is revealed how they reflected the interests of the representatives (mainly tenants) of the Moscow ranks and how these interests were considered by the supreme authority. The study of different groups of petitions makes it possible to speak about the tendency of the supreme authority to form the main regular reserve of military and administrative service from military servicemen.
