M.A. Kotzebue attached great importance to the formation of the Jar-Balakan societies, gave information about their composition, number of households, the population and armed forces that they could introduce. The issue of the administrative structure of rural communities and their unions is well covered, administrative officials are listed, their functions of power are shown, as well as the management system of the union as a whole, headed by the Jar Society. Detailed and well-illustrated are social relations, showing all social strata, their economic and social and legal situation, the forms of dependent and rent relations. The work of M.A. Kotzebue contains information about occupations of the population of the Jaro-Belokan societies, shows the state of farming, cattle breeding, horticulture, viticulture, and the special role of sericulture.
