Kalmyk Khanate, Astrakhan, Yurt Murzas and Tatars, 18th centuryAbstract
The article examines the situation in the Lower Volga region during the internecine struggle of the Kalmyk owners, which unfolded after the death of Khan Ayuka. It is noted that the result of this struggle was the departure from the Kalmyks of the Turkic peoples subject to them. Against the background of the migration to the Kuban under the rule of the Crimean Khan of the majority of Jetisans and Dzhemboyluk, part of the former Kalmyk subjects preferred to return to Astrakhan to their former nomads. Murzas Tinbaevs, Allaguatovs, Bimurzins, Tinokpatovs are at the center of the study. The circumstances under which they were involved in the events of 1715 and subsequently found themselves in the Kalmyk Khanate are considered. The reasons that prompted the Yurt Murzas to decide to leave the Kalmyks under the rule of the Astrakhan voivodes are analyzed. An assessment is given of the actions of the local authorities who decided to accept the Murz with their people into Russian citizenship.
