INITIATIVES OF THE ORENBURG GOVERNOR I. I. NEPLYUEV TO RESOLVE THE CRISIS SITUATION IN RUSSIA’S RELATIONS WITH THE KHANATE OF KHIVA IN 1753—1755
Abstract
The article examines the crisis situation in Russia-Khiva relations that developed in connection with the detention of Russian envoys and a trade caravan in Khiva in 1753—1754. It was provoked by the greed and short-sightedness of Khiva Khan Kaip. On the basis of archival materials, the plans developed by Orenburg Governor I. I. Neplyuev to get out of the situation are analyzed. One of them allowed the preservation of economic and diplomatic ties with Kaip Khan. The second plan provided for the overthrow of the Khiva ruler by inciting the Khiva people to revolt or inciting the khan of the Younger Zhuz to the Khiva campaign. The proposals of the Orenburg governor, with minor clarifications, were approved by the Board of Foreign Affairs. The change of priorities caused by the Bashkir uprising distracted I. I. Neplyuev from the Khiva direction. However, as the Orenburg governor had expected, tired of tyranny and bribery, the Khiva people themselves overthrew their ruler in 1736.
