The article is devoted to the policy of Russia in the south of the Caspian Sea in the 1840s. It is shown that due to the use of the advantages provided by the Turkmanchay Treaty of 1828, the Russian Empire managed to significantly strengthen its position in the region: it expanded its naval presence, achieved significant success in combating piracy and stabilizing the region, and created conditions for the development of trade. Special attention is paid to the establishment of steamship communication in the Caspian Sea.
