In different places through which the empress was supposed to work, special plans and ceremonies for ceremonial meetings and awards were developed. The distinguished guests were to be met at the borders of the UBZD by the chief of the nobility with the high-ranking young nobles, and then escorted to the MBsta, to the palace; the “guides,” young nobles, should be “dressed on their horses, as well as possible, themselves in provincial uniforms, in hats with bows, in gloves, in shackles”; and “if any of the gentlemen of the nobles turned out to be disobedient or careless, he would expose his honor, life and not his own to danger.” On the city streets, citizens should stand on both sides in case of failure, due to the greatness of the confluence, allow them to be on the roofs and fences; - during the procession, no one should cross the streets; - the streets in the villages should be lined with grass with wildflowers, not densely strewn, but spruce trees should not be used anywhere do not seat, “no carts will be tolerated along the main streets, and no one would come along.” — “In all villages on the roads, residents should be placed on both sides of the street, as well as from the surrounding nearby villages, order to be at the same villages that are on the road, where there will be convenient places along the roads for grazing cattle, then order from the surrounding villages to these places on the day when the procession begins, so that the best view of the situation will be presented to the trade union from the villagers in all parts. With all these villages there should be those village chiefs who observe there is silence and order between them, so that all the peasants are in decent, clean peasant clothes; They also strictly ensure that there are no sick or crippled people among these villagers.”
The Empress was to be met by representatives of the local population, including the Crimean and Nogai Tatars, Kyrgyz, Turkmen and others.
Couples and women were instructed to present the empress with bunches of flowers and herbs tied with a red ribbon, and to throw flowers under the carriage, and for others to “express their admiration for decent actions and greetings”; just so that there was no one “in corrupted and torn clothes, and especially drunkards and beggars.” There is no doubt,” it was said in one meeting ceremony, “that “the gentlemen of the nobles, although the horses will already be prepared for the camp, will still “be more zealous” and “prepare” the horses for the imp. a carriage of 12 horses and with them 4 postilions in red camisoles with red stand-up collars, green cuffs with white waistcoats, and the same underwear and dress in black caps."
