Russian-Oirat Relations in Southern Siberia (1<sup>st</sup> third of the 17<sup>th</sup> century)
The article studies the relations between the Russian State and Oirats in southern Siberia. Forced by the Mongols in early 17th century, the Oirats migrated east and occupied parts of Northern Kazakhstan. The Oirats invade the territory of Russian Southern Siberia in the 1st third of the 17th century, extruding Turks with the purpose of seizing commercial lands, and capture. Resulting from Oirats' invasions, the conditions of the Turkic people in Southern Siberia were dramatically impaired. In 1634, the Oirats armed a number of large invasions in the administrative centers of Southern Siberian uyezds (districts), namely, Tara and Tyumen.
