Representatives of the Buryat clan elite in archival documents of the 17th century

Abstract

The aim of the research is to determine the nature of the relationship between the representatives of the Tsarist administration and the Buryat clan leaders during the initial stage of the annexation of the Buryatia territory to the Moscow state, as reflected in the published archival documents of the 17th century. The article examines the initial stage of the annexation of the Buryatia territory to the Moscow state, reveals the role and significance of the Buryat clan leaders in this process, and touches upon the issues of social relations in Buryat society in the 17th century. The scientific novelty lies in the study of the nature of the relationship between representatives of the Tsarist administration and the Buryat clan elite in the 17th century, which allows to identify the main methods of the administrative policy of the Tsarist administration towards the indigenous peoples of Siberia as a whole, and the Buryats in particular. The research reveals that from the very beginning of its presence, the Tsarist government sought to regulate relations with the elite representatives of the indigenous Siberian peoples, with the aim of further integrating the new lands into the Russian state and establishing an efficient system of tax collection (yasak).
