The book is dedicated to the reconstruction of the events and context of the “uprising” of the Tatar Murza Tarlav, which took place in 1629-1631 in Western Siberia. Tarlav, who had previously sworn an oath to the Russian Tsar, led his men from the left bank of the Ob River to the right. Here, in the Karakan forest, near the Chingis River, he built a wooden fortress, and then, under the supervision of the Altai Teleutes and Western Mongols ("Kalmyks"), organized an attack on the Tatar population of the Tom basin, who remained loyal to the Russian. The Russian administration organized a military expedition under the command of voivode Yakov Tukhachevsky. The siege of Chingis-town ended with the death of Tarlav. The main issue of the book is to identify the main causes of these events and the various consequences of the conflict.
