LEGAL REGULATION OF THE SETTLEMENT OF THE KALMYKS IN ORENBURG IN THE 40S OF THE XVIII CENTURY
Abstract
Orenburg became the second after Stavropol-on-Volga, in the vicinity of which baptized Kalmyks were allowed to settle. The article examines the legal conflicts faced by the Orenburg provincial administration in the process of placing the Kalmyks in the South Urals and their resolution at the government level. These included issues related to property obligations and Kalmyk liability for offenses committed. In accordance with the Russian-Kalmyk agreements on permanent residence in Russia, only baptized Kalmyks were allowed, and that only in the territory allotted to them in the Middle Volga. However, the first Orenburg Governor I. I. Neplyuyev managed to convince the government of the need to place baptized Kalmyks in fortresses on the Yaik and thereby ensure the strengthening of the defense capability of the Russian Empire in the southeastern borderland.
