The publication presents a list of teptyars among the tatars of the Menzelinsk district, Orenburg province, who, according to the materials of the 8th revision (1834), were part of the Teptyar Cossack regiments. This makes it possible to determine the average age of the teptyars at the start of their service, the number of persons assigned to the regiments from each specific settlement, and, in some cases, the time of their return from duty. It identifies veterans of the Patriotic War of 1812 and the foreign campaigns of the Russian army in 1813–1814, who returned home safely, were identified; it also provides information about the combat path of the Menzelinsky district teptyars of the 2nd Teptyar regiment during the suppression of the Polish uprising of 1830–1831.
