Murzas Kulmametyevs as part of the Siberian Tatar Cossack Regiment (1822–1849)

This article analyzes the service of the murzas Kulmametyevs in the Siberian Tatar Cossack Regiment in 1822–1849. The social status of the Cossack officer corps is examined based on the Charter on Siberian City Cossacks of 1822. The author introduces into scientific circulation information from the formulary lists of officials of the Siberian Tatar Cossack Regiment for 1844 and 1845, which allows us to create a portrait of the average officer from among the Tatar Cossacks of Western Siberia. The study revealed that some representatives of the murzas Kulmametyevs clan abused their high position in the regiment and were put on trial in the 1825–1830s. As a result of administrative reforms, Tatar City Cossacks in 1861 became part of the Siberian Cossack Army, which contributed to changes in some aspects of their service and socio-legal status.
