The group of lashmans was formed based on the indigenous service class groups of the Volga region, mostly Tatars. In a 1718 decree, Peter I ordered military service to be replaced by work in the Admiralty in Kazan, and called the newly organized group “the lashmans” (from the Low German laschen, to cut logs).
