Abstract

The article investigates the "tales" of the members of the Sovereign’s Court – natives of the Turkic nobility as a source of information from the boyar lists of the middle of the 17th century about their readiness for regimental service. All the documents studied in the article were deposited in the fund of the Razryadnyi Prikaz of the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts (RGADA). The personal composition of representatives of the Turkic elite in Moscow ranks is considered. The "tales" of 1653–1668 of the members of the Sovereign’s Court – natives of the Turkic nobility were identified and introduced into scientific circulation. It is established that the "tales" of military servicemen (including representatives of the Turkic nobility) were the main source of information of the boyar lists of the middle of the 17th century about their readiness for regimental service and could function in the office of the Razryadnyi Prikaz for a long time. The article is addressed to specialists in the history of the Sovereign's Court, social history, the history of public administration, and the source studies of clerical work documents.
