Siberia Khanate




The Khanate was mainly populated by Siberian Tatars .

Some parts of Khanate also included Sibir Duchy that exist in 14th century at the North of Golden Horde, Mansi , Khanty and Nenets lands.

The Khanate was mainly populated by Siberian Tatars . The Khan s, rulers of the territory, were usually selected from descendants of Shayban , Batu 's brother. The last khan of Siberia was Kuchum , whose descendants have been known as Princes Sibirsky . The last capital was at Qashliq , and many modern Russian cities in West Siberia were founded during the Siberia Khanate period, including Tyumen and Tobolsk .

The Siberian Khanate was easily overrun by Russia n Cossack s under Yermak Timofeyevich in the 1570s as they explored and subdued the sparsely populated, vast subcontinent. They named the new territory Siberia , after the Sibir.
In a sense, the khanate lived on in the subsidiary title " Tsar (i.e. King) of Siberia" which became part of the full imperial style of the Russian Autocrat s.
