Translator's Notes

Page numbers, where shown, indicate pages in the book publication. The offered machine translated copy of the printed edition contains typos and misspellings, for which I apologize and intend to correct them with time. Until then, the posting is representative of the general scope and the detail of the annals. The posted machine translation was the best that was around in 2003. In 2010, Google frequently offers much better translations, it might make sense to return to the Russian original and to make a Google translation of a portion of the text.

The “mouse over” explanations basically follow the definitions found in the Annals and represent the views of the writers, which may be different from the known or accepted conditions of the present time. They are the best guess and some of them may be infidels because of infidels interpretation of the text by the translator. The translator of the Annals to Russian left a multitude of the Türkisms in his translation, and they are preserved in the English translation, with the “mouse over” explanations where available. The dates in the chapter headings are added during translation and are imprecise indicators of the period covered.

Chapter 1. How Àlats almost handed over Kazan to infidels

And on it the manuscript of sheikh Bu-Yurgan, being in my hands, breaks, and about the further I found the following record in “the Sheikh-Gali kitaby”:

Hardly Cheremshans left{abandoned} Kazan, it{her} entered Bibarys, and then - and Alats led by Mamet. Emir wanted to incorporate with Ruses, but Mamysh-Birde defeated Balynsunder Churtan and not given them an opportunity to approach to capital. Then disturbed Ma-met declined on side Bibarysa, having given out for him the daughter... Becoming{Beginning} owners of Kazan, Alat thieves intended to execute Süümbika. To it{her} wanted to cut off in the beginning a nose and ears, and then and a head. To this them pushed Alasha, severely executed the Heap... Ulan fallen into in his hands casually. Seid Kul-Ashraf directed Kuchaka in Bashkort, to beat off this province at biy Ismail. But that on a way was suddenly attacked Ruses, gone on Chally with the purpose of capture Seid. Kuchak fought desperately and was captured already ranenym and weakened... Kan Kul-Ashraf could not help the üldashu, but was able to not admit{allow} execution of the favorite. Having met habitual refusal of cossacks to act on proceeds of Kazan, Seid suggested Mohammed to protect him only in a way and personally jumped to capital. Bahadiru did not remain anything else how to go behind him with 2 thousand desperate Yar-Challysand Bashkor-tov. Nobody dared to stand in them way, and at Kazan them hospitably met Mamysh-Birde. Having told Mamet that he is not going to take away force from him city, Kul-Ashraf occupied Seids the Court. Emir had to concede and get over in Khan the Court. Islam Naryk and son Utyasha Chapkyn separated in city of force of both Ashrafids that allowed to avoid collisions...

Yadkar, having barely arranged, immediately declared conditions general

Reconciliation: Süümbika with the son it is given out Alashe and in Khan-Kermane

There is the younger wife a Shakh-Gali; the Shakh-Gali is put ulugbe-

Wh Kazan il, and Mamet it is proclaimed Seid Kazan and

296

Archa-Kala; Ruses authorizes to hold in Chirmyshsk Äâîðå* group from 500 person for supervision over behaviour the Shakh-Gali. These conditions were favorable Yadkar for allowed menle to rescue Süümbika, to turn anger for its{her} shame on Alashu and Mamet and to find in Kazan a support in the person secretly serving to him the Shakh-Gali. Emir, having felt it, opposed, but Seid secretly informed the conditions the Shakh-Gali and with his help declined Ruses to acceptance of them. Mamet was not solved perechit Balynians and was forced to agree. At thus on negotiations with Uruses Kul-Ashraf demanded from them clarification of the part of the Mountain side seized by them, and Mamet not supported him and appeared at all in unattractive shape of the finished traitor and the friend infidels...

When “betle Tatars” y deduced{removed} Süümbika from Kazan for delivery by Ruses, Bu-Yurgan in despair collected the simple townspeople and rushed to beat off with them her. In the arisen fight a little murzas it was killed ^ but kazanchis nevertheless it was possible to disperse people and to seize Mo-hammedjara. Mulla some time lead{carried out} in zindane Khan the Court... Hardly Süümbika took out from city menla Kul-Ashraf, carrying out an arrangement with beksi, also left from Shahri Gazana and began in balik Kasim. Here he stayed until while the Shakh-Gali not entered century. Kazan, and then returned in Chally. Following his instructions{indications}, Kazan Ulugbek one leaders Alatssent to Moscow under a kind of ambassadors, and others collected to himself on a feast and cut them with help Mamysh-Birde, Ruses and mishar Bulgar. Then he - also under the order Kan Kul-Ashraf - executed and Mamet, being{shown} to him s'tselü to arrest him, and on his place put Bu-Yurgan. Fierce war with Alat thieves which Ulugbek began to win obviously flashed. Scared “betle tatarvy in 1552 addressed to Alashe with the offer to overthrow the Shakh-Gali from a place Ulugbek in an exchange to the aid in business of mastering by Bulgarian state. Pleased with it Balyn Ulubiy the Shakh-T*shpgsdat Kazan immediately enjoined Ruses army and to return on service in Khan-Kerman, having threatened in case of his refusal to deduce{remove} from Kazan Ruses group. Ulugbek to depth of soul offended impudent requirements Alashi, and he transferred kanu Bulgar Kul-Ashraf that if to Kazan will arrive Cheremshan group will immediately let him in city and will openly pass to him on service. However Seid-Emir Kul-Ashraf could help nothing kind the Shakh-Gali: all forces of him was thrown on war with new Nogais Ismaila, Yanchura guarded Cheremshan from the north, from side Kolyn (Russ. Khvalynsk, modern Vyatka/Kirov), and Mamysh-Birde fought with Alat Tatars, serbijs and churtan. Then Ulugbek necessarily agreed to return on Urus service, but, in otmestku Alashe, fled from Kazan suddenly and to the approach of an army infidels...

297

The owner of all Kazan became “Tümen” which authority was provided with one thousand kavestss. In external balikah capitals were placed groups beks Islam Naryka and Chapkyna. Both tazikbashes (apparently, City Hall leaders), and beks assumed then that Seid-Emir cannot help them owing to employment{occupation} Nogai by war. Therefore all of them necessarily obeyed the leader Alat thieves beku Hudajkulu, accepting{starting} affairs Mamet on himself and aspiring to attach Bulgarian state to Moscow beiliku in exchange for the right to live under the laws and under supervision of own ulanov. From sanction Hudajkula Ruses army moved to Kazan, but himself bek not dared to be in this business and charged with delivery of capital Chapkynu. Fortunately, after a terrible wine party in Churtane in honor of the introduction into Kazan, troops infidels moved very slowly and in the beginning to city reached only 200 Ruses, 2 thousand mishar Bulgar and 800 Tatars the Shakh-Gali. Beki passed{missed} them in city, and tazikbashes (apparently, City Hall leaders) placed in balik the Kara-Mus-lim...

When the main army approached to capital Ruses, to sheikh Bu-Yurganu delivered news about approach{approximation} Kazan of group bek Yanchura with the order kapa Kul-Ashraf about protection of city from infidels. Having felt threat of Kazan, bek Yanchura returned on service to Seid-Emir and on his command seized Echke-Kazan and moved to capital. Bu-Yurgan immediately declared it to people and called him for resistance. The majority kavessand cherni come over to of his side. Under order Mohammedyara people closed all gate of Kazan and suggested closed opponents to proceed{pass} to their side. 50 Ruses cossacks expressed desire to accept Islam and to join an army of Bulgarian state, and the others combined the weapon and received the sanction to leave city. All mishar Bulgars with pleasure adjoined Kazanians, Tatars refused and were ruthlessly clobbered people. Only Murza Kamaj from 200 escaped, for for the sake of rescue of a life pritvorno agreed to serve Seid-Emir. For an assurance Bulgar in the fidelity to Bulgarian state this Murza even personally cut seven Tatars... Corpses killed Kypchaks on carts taken out from city...

At once sobered up Ruses commanders wanted was to storm Kazan, but appeared in time Yanchura the aggressive shout “Ur” Ur!” confused their hearts and forced to retreat without fight in Churtan... Nukrats some ships could skrytno make it{Him}, and with approach our summers{years} could clear from infidels some ferries... Mohammed - Bahadir with 3 thousand Cheremshanslead{carried out} to Kazan^hana Yadkar-Mohammed appointed by Seid-Emir Yadka-rum Kul-Ashraf new Ulugbek Kazan il, and remained in capital for its{her} protection.

Chapter 2. As army Alashi crushed Kazan

... Became ripe new collision with Moscow, demanded to give it{her} three western il together with Kazan. Kul-Ashraf, understanding that infidels the Bulgarian state can beat off the next invasion only by means of all forces, addressed to Ismailu with the offer to conclude the world in exchange for doubling of the Kazan tribute Nogais. Harmful Ulubiy refused, and Seid-Emir, terribly having damned him, addressed for the help to Crimea. Kan Kul-Ashraf offered the Crimean Khan a misfortune on Ismaila and by that to force him to leave from war with Bulgarian state, but that refused and instead of it undertook to nobody the necessary attack on Ruses surburb. In a result Seid-Emir and did not manage to liberate force of east provinces Bulgar for the help of Kazan, and Yadkar it was necessary to make bitter words only: “Really, actions Nogai Ulubiy Almighty shows, people can reach what limits of nonsense and meanness{low act}”. Certainly, it was possible to try to tighten{delay} time negotiations pending lucky coincidence, but infidels made their impossible.

One of their groups headed Seberkaem, attacked ship Bu-Yurgan during his navigation from Kazan in Bolgar. Mohammed-jar, “El-Hum” heading a brotherhood, wished to visit ihvan and to uplift a pray Almighty for rescue of Bulgarian state, but suddenly was seized by robbers and chopped ruthlessly up under order Seberkai a. Soon Seberkai a and his people caught and spread their heads on the spears attached at top Kazan Bulak of the wall, but it could not console come in catalepsy Kul-Ashraf...

In the summer of 1552 Alasha moved to Kazan with 100 thousand infantrymen, 20 thousand sailors and 80 thousand horsemen. From horsemen of 50 thousand were Tatars, and 10 thousand - mishar Bulgars the Shakh-Gali. Alasha, not trusting Khan-Kerman Bulgarm and Ulugbek, held them behind of the armies and used only for prevention of retreat of the Ruses soldiers. In Kazan there were 3 thousand Cheremshanians, one thousand kavessand 10 thousand militiamen - townspeople under command MoHammed-Bahadir. The message about unknown threat returned Kul-Ashraf by a life...

For operations against infidels outside of city and a possible{probable} conclusion Kazan alai of city Seid-Emir could allocate 6 thousand jarchal-lynians, Challyians, Ar and laishes kazanchis and cossacks and 2 thousand mamysh-birdeis Chirmyshes led by bek Yapanchej. Besides 2 thousand Chirmyshes in the head with Mamysh-Birde acted the Kara-Idel between Sundyrem and Churtan. The others fought against ushkuis and new Nogais Ismail...

299

It was clear to all that Kazan is doomed. But Kan Kul-Ashraf, wishing “to sell” city infidels for the sake of rescue of east part of Bulgarian state more dearly{expensively}, himself arrived to capital and strengthened a personal example courage of its{her} defenders...

The first group; ':Ù£ñêèõ after a ferry at Churtana was met chirmyshes Mamysh-Birde, but could grasp after persistent fight a ferry. The second group infidels storm took Bish-Baltu and ruthlessly burnt out this beautiful external balik Kazan. The third group Ruses took Tashayak and balik Kuraish. The fourth group infidels dragged boats to the Kaban - kulü and on them attacked balik Kasim. We here again fighted desperately, but after perfidious transition Kamaja-murzy to the side Ruses position became hopeless and Bulgars left this last external balik. Only after these fights, proceeding three days and three nights and costing infidels 15 thousand killed, Alasha risked to be forwarded through the Kara-Idel with the main army and to besiege Kazan... And bek Moham-med-Bahadir wrote in the letter - report Seid Husainu that at ba-lyn Ulubiy there were 300 cannons from which 120 were otlity al-man masters and intended for razbitija fortifications. Hundred cannons was put Uruses against Ar walls, and 20 - against Isbel a gate and beat on them continuously 45 days. We tried to prevent this clanies and attacks from Ar woods. Then Ruses made two huge wooden towers and began to shoot from them on Bulgarm near Ar and Isbyol- Bott towers. Besides 80 thousand infidels, from which 30 thousand were Tatars, moved in Ar a wood against Yapanchi. Yapancha began to retreat, exhausting the opponent fights at marked also fortresses. So, through the Snake ravine in Arsk to a wood for which 300 fighters for belief fallen, the enemy passed on bodies of 3 thousand soldiers. For Ulug-katau and fortress Biektau in which fallen 500 mudjahidov, infidels paid lives of 3 thousand Ruses and 2 thousand Tatars. Three-day siege and route Echke-Kazan where it is martyr fallen... 2 thousand militiamen and 1200 cossacks Yapanchi, cost Ruses commanderm 4 thousand Balynsand thousand Tatars.. .. And Galikai helped enemies for believed false promise Alashi to give to all of igenche-holes of the right subashes. To tell the truth, when infidels tried to take Shaj-mardan, he *; with them not gone, and Yanchura, having lost 900 cossacks, could be beaten off and exterminate 2 thousand Ruses and 4 thousand Tatars... Having had a rest at Galikai in Arche, Uruses gone to Djuri and took this fortress. In it{her} 400 militiamen and 100 soldiers Yapanchi fallen, and the opponent lost 2 thousand Ruses and 2 thousand Tatars. From here Boyary, thinking that the way on Chally is free, moved to baliku Shalies, but at a capture of him lost one thousand Ruses and 4 thousand Tatars and preferred

300

To turn back through Laish... Kashan the militiamen angered on Tatars that those cut all inhabitants of the Shali, trapped them on rest and stolen all their horses and when murzy rushed to Ruses camp, interrupted them from ambushes in wood thrickets. Scared by destruction slujilyh Kypchakov, infidels in a hurry began to be forwarded through the river Misha, and Yapancha with militiamen could interrupt here 15 thousand infidels, having lost 1900... Boyars managed to take Laish but after that at them remained all 20 thousand soldiers and main them commander told: “Now it is possible to come back safely for we remained without an army, and nobody will reproach us for retreat”. Yapancha at which remained 3 thousand cossacks, followed for infidels and again began for Ar a wood pending a possible{probable} output{exit} alai of capital...

Meanwhile Kazanians made a clanie and crushed both towers, and from one removed{took off} all cannons and turned them aside infidels. Nevertheless Ruses possible shots from Alman cannons to break a part of a wall in the specified places, though and by loss of the 20 thousand. At Alashi remained 100 thousand more soldiers. Sojbk thousand from them he thrown in a breach at Ar towers, and 10 thousand - in tfol at Isbel the Bott tower. 10 thousand more polezli on a wall in other places for derivation of defenders from breaches and everyone were easily clobbered. At one Mir-Gali of a gate ours by means of the big guns... laid - level with a wall - 3 thousand infidels led by them Boyar Idjim-Türya... With loss of 10 thousand soldiers at Aydar - munchi where we made something like a small fortress and desperately her protected, Ruses possible to approach to Shakh-ri Gazanu and to begin storm Bogyltau. We in Buhar Yorty fought to the utmost and only after all ammunition was spent, retreated on underground courses for Sains rov. Then Kan Yadkar Kul-Ashraf, despite of protests Sardar Mohammed - Bahadir, left to a mosque “Mohammed - Alam” which people named his name is more often, and called all here to become persistent... Ruses defeated then on the part of Top Isbel towers and aspired to incorporate with, coming of Buhar Yorty. But Seid-Emir shown stability{resistance} and beaten off the opponent from a mosque then we banished the enemy and from Top Isbel towers and forced kjafirs to run out in horror from city. Having seen an event, sat Alasha on a horse and was going to run from Kazan. The brother of him not become puzzled only. He ordered to the best group Balynians, protecting Urus Ulubiy, immediately enter city through Ar a breach and to break an army of Seid-Emir Kul-Ashraf. This group again made the way to a mosque “Mohammed - Alam” that encouraged run and forced them to direct again on storm of city...

301

The Chapter Nogai protection ulugboka Yadkar Zejnesh trembled and suddenly retreated with three hundreds Kypchaks for a mosque. Mohammed (Ahmed)-Áàõàäèð was occupied then with reflection of an strike infidels on Top Isbel a tower, and all soldiers, shakirdy (pupils) and mudarrisy, surrounding Kan Kul-Ashraf, was already killed. Having taken advantage of it, Uruses defeated to Seid-Emir, and one of them struck his heavy spear... We cried for horror. Mohammed - Bahadir could tigrinym snatch out a throw the dying governor of Bulgarian state from crowd infidels and to attribute{relate} him in Khan a mosque. Having come in himself, Seid-Emir consulted about a state of affairs. Having learned about break Uruses for Tazik rov, he ordered Sardar to deduce{remove} alai from city and in structure of army Yapanchi to leave in Korym-Chally. He, despite of entreaty Ahmed - Bahadir, remained to die in a mosque together with the escaped inhabitants who gathered there, and authority transferred son Husainu.. .. Mohammed - Bahadir ordered to one thousand soldiers, 1500 militiamen and Nogais Ulugbek Yadkar to leave city on space from Khan a gate to Top Isbel and lifted above the highest towers green banners. Having lost 500 fighters, Sardar deduced{removed} people on Kozy a meadow. Yapancha on his signal immediately arrived there to him and had time to crush right-bank stan kinjazja Kurba- that and 4 thousand the Chuvashs, took in head to prevent connection. Having included group Ahmed - Bahadir in the army, Yapancha gone to Chal-llamas...

After storm at Alashi remained 64 thousand soldiers. Furious losses Ulubiy ordered to not spare the anybody. All mosques of city was splashed with blood of old men, women and children searching there for protection. From a mosque “Mohammed - Alam” Balyns and slujilye Tatars pulled out one thousand svjazok books and burn them. Modjar Bulgars, including in Kazan about the Shakh-Gali already after a capture of capital, at a kind of it were dumbfounded. Having come round, they rushed directly to fires and, burning, snatched out from them some sacred books...

From all inhabitants which number exceeded 65 thousand, in alive there was 500 Kara-muslims and Moslems - and that only because for them asked the Shakh-Gali. These unfortunate dissolved on monasteries where several force forced to accept christianity, and other, staying true to true belief - basically women and children - ruthlessly finished off famine or drowned.

Chapter 3. the Hunting war

Seid Husain was angry with excesses infidels in Kazan, but could then to make nothing, for Galikai with Alat thieves helped Ruses. Alasha, enjoying this support, could

To return to Moscow with 50 thousand soldiers, and the others left in Kazan and Churtane. He not executed the promise, and his officials began to peel{fleece} igencheis not worse, than ulans and murzy. Then Galikai recognized authority of Bulgarian state, interrupted Balyn collectors of taxes and joined with Yanchura for war to Moscow. Mamysh-Bir-de immediately besieged Churtan. Seid immediately sent Sary-Bahadir, son Atalyka, to the aid Yanchura, and AhmedgBahadir - on connection with Mamysh-Birde. Bojary left against ours both Kazan, and from Churtana, boasting that go as on cheerful hunting. Therefore this war nicknamed Hunting. Yanchura pritvorno retreated to Biektau where finished with pursuing him 800 Ruses and 1200 “betle Tatars”. Mamysh-Birde with Mohammed - Bahadir also retreated from Churtana to Simbiru and easily finished with rushed for them 1500 Balynians, 2 thousand Alat thieves and 3 thousand Chuvashs. Alasha, having received news about it, was horrified and wanted to deduce{remove} from Kazan and Churtana the rests of the armies, but his one adviser kept him from it words: “you promised before to Christian gods to exterminate all Bulgar to uniform and to give their lands to Boyars and simple soldiers, and now cannot retreat, not attracting on yourself damnations of our gods and anger of soldiers”.

Then Alasha sent in Bulgar the big army, and she{it} was at war till 1554, destroying all on the way. In struggle with infidels then fallen both Galikai, and Yanchura. Then Ulubiy left in seized Kazan and Ar cities the garrisons, but they were clobbered after leaving{care} army igenchejas which were headed by the assistant Gali-kaja Tash-Mohammed. And he was one of shakirds Yadkar and miracle escaped in fight at medrese. Everywhere he carried a piece of a stone from a wall of a mosque “Mohammed - Alam” and when prayed before fight, put him near to himself...

And for Uruses one our traitor - Shamaj, fluent cossack Yapanchi fought. He was a conductor infidels when those went against Yan-chury and Galikai. Tash-Mohammed tracked down the traitor and, having seized his powerful hands, torn up, as kid. At him was 10 thousand desperate hrabretsov, but second army Alashi from 20 thousand Ruses and 40 thousand Tatars nevertheless beaten out him from Echke-Kazan. Uruses, being panic-stricken with Tash-Mohammed, refused to remain in the seized cities and then Boyary placed in balikah Alat thieves and slujilyh Tatars. Those, infidels, believed that will receive for it from Ruses Bulgarian ie the lands, but again came mudjahidy Tash-Mohammed and at once finished with them. Two thousand escaped Alat-seven were delighted to this for expected to appropriate{give} the lands killed murz. When the third army infidels again beaten out Tash-Mohammed from Echke-Kazan, these “betle Tatars” y were placed in

302

303

Taken Ar cities also began to fill to district with the excesses. Mudjahid'y interrupted one thousand from them, and another cut igenchei. The pity end Alat thieves was those... And Tash-Mohammed's good fellows spoke that will not be more igenchejas until will kill hundred thousand enemies. When them asked, why so, they answered: “in the Winter of 1553 infidels tired out{driven} hundred thousand Moslems - in the majority of old men, women and children - in a wild wood and there frozen them. We saw bodies unfortunate, and our hearts will not thaw until enemies will not choke in streams of own blood”.

Fourth army Alashi again beaten out Tash-Mohammed from Ar il, and he retreated to Kashan. Seid-Emir Husann declared him mudjahids the cossacks, and arrived to him on service 2300 Nogais biy Yusuf directed to Mamysh-Birde with the order to declare them biy new Kazan Ulugbek. Bek impudently approached{impudently dropped in} on capital and in a kind of her proclaimed biy Ulugbek. Alasha come to full fury, having learned about it, and ordered to the fifth army from 15 thousand Ruses and 35 thousand Tatar Kypchaks to take Chally. Tash-Mohammed kept in Kashan to the utmost and conceded the balik only after he{it} still had all one thousand soldiers. With them he departed to Chally, and Seid-Emir Husain ordered to leave all through Yar Chally. To Ufa. Tash-Mohammed remained to protect capital and after a week of fights at night skrytno left her from 200. Tatars rushed behind him in I shall drive, but at Yar Chally was attacked Yar-Challys and appeared in time Agidels and are cut down to the uniform person. When came Uruses, many Yar-Challys not left to Ufa, and remained to protect the balik. Bojary outwitted defenders, having ordered to the Nogais komu biü enter city. When Uruses pritvorno departed that appeared at a palings and given out himself for the mercenary of Seid-Emir - and is valid, he was the native brother Kazan Ulugbek. We believed and opened a gate that allowed Nogais to take them and to let through them Ruses. YarChallys rushed through a wall to a field, but sunk in a snow and quickly was caught. Pleased with such issue of a suit of Boyars sent captured on construction of Ruses fortress on a place crushed balik Laish.

Sixth army Alashi after that intruded area Mamysh-Birde. Kypchaks Madjita battled languidly, both subashi and chirmyshes, angry by extreme requisitions on the maintenance{contents} of mercenaries, took and expelled them... Uruses step by step restricted bek and did not leave him alone until, at last, he not passed the Kara-Idel and not left to Simbiru. Altysh Naryk, hoping that obsequiousness before Ruses will keep il under the authority, verolom-

304

But seized Mamysh-Birde and given out his infidels. Bojary promised him the help against an army of Seid-Emir Bulgar, but deceived. When Mohammed - Bahadir risen to Simbiru, former near him Boyars purposely retreated to a field and allowed Cheremshanians to take and crush city. Mohammed after route Simbira thoughtlessly moved further, not having reconnoitered district, and got into an ambush Boyara. To tell the truth, the most part Cheremshansit was possible to leave, but them Sardar was taken prisoner...

Alasha then already planned war with Artanianis Almans for the sake of reception of extraction which he not received in Kazan. The adviser ulu-Biy persuaded him to wait a little and finish Bulgarian state, but that, inflamed by stories of ambassadors and deserters about weakness and riches Artan, about all overlooked. Under order Alashi the ambassador the Shakh-Gali passed to Ufa and offered Seid-Emir the peace with Moscow in exchange for blessing of participation by that Bulgarianbeks in war with Artan on the side Ruses and payment of a tribute by a grain, cattle and furs. Husain agreed. The hunting war ended, and 10 thousand Bulgar led by released{exempted} Mamysh-Birde and Ahmed - Bahadi-r moved on Artan in structure of an army the Shakh-Gali.

Chapter 4. How began and ended the rule of Sheikh-Gali

After the first successes in war with Almans Balynian ordered Kazan commanderm to finish off the others Bulgarianbekov. Those invited to themselves to Kazan beks and the cossacks, desiring to receive the lands in Ruses part of Bulgarian state or having claims to Moscow. When beks and cossacks entered Kazan, them placed in Kuraish bali-ke and at daybreak all cut sleeping. Among killed son Almata Enei-bek was Agidel Ulugbek...

In Artane we battled so valorously that received many awards from Moscow Ulubiy. And Ahmed - Bahadir who captured Alman beka, with 5 thousand in 1569 was withdrawn to Moscow for protection himself Alashi from rebelling against him Boyars. Seid-Emir Husain was strongly indignant of it and ordered Sardar to return to Bulgarian state, but Ulubiy persuaded him to remain in exchange for the huge salary. In 1570 the case Mohammed - Baha-dira participated in a campaign on Galidj and crushed this city in otmestku for participation Galidjiansin a capture of Kazan. On a return way Sardar learned{found out} about intention Ulubiy to interrupt his army and fled in the Bulgarian state through Khan-Kerman. Local Boyary not dared to prevent his pass. From Modjar Bulgar he learned{found out} that Süümbika, becoming the younger wife the Shakh-Gali because of unwillingness to accept a christening, poisoned under order Alashi of its{her} servant - Tatars. Still wound

305

she the Shakh-Gali was poisoned. Both Khan, and his wife was poisoned because Alasha was afraid of their transition to service to Seid-Emir Bulgar together with Modjar Bulgars and allied with them Nogai. Nevertheless... War with Bulgarian state nevertheless burst...

In 1569 because of carelessness Seid, dismissed an army for a holiday, Ruses from Chulman (Arctic Kama = Upper Kama) suddenly occupied Ufa. Husain barely had time to run from capital and received for the levity nickname “Bajram-Gazi”. And this war began to name “Bajram sugy-shy”. Yapancha then was sent to area Seber-Ishtjak Ishtjak il behind the help and remained there from 500 cossacks. To him gave a title Türe to this area where lived our 12 thousand subashes. He was distinguished in war with infidels, vtorgnuvshimisja in him Se-ber later, and died during one fight with them... In same year Husain died, and the authority passed to his son the Sheikh-Gali. He three years bravely fought with infidels, but then was compelled to retreat to Bulgarian im Nogais...

However in 1579 Uruses, ratified in Ufa with the help pereshedshej on their side of a part Bashkort Biys, finished the allies with a full impoverishment and forced them to proceed{pass} in despair to the side of son Husain of Seid-Emir ' the Sheikh-Gali. The governor some time of veins in Kargaly why received nickname “Kargalyj”. His{its} army in which, except for ours, were both Bulgarian ie Nogais, and Sebers, and Kyrgyzes, beaten out infidels of Ufa. The majority Ruses was perebito, but one of their groups could retreat in Chulman (Arctic Kama = Upper Kama) in the full order and being fiercely protected. When we asked at captured, than such stability{resistance} speaks, those answered that he{it} had was entrusted protection especially expensive{dear} for Alashi images of one of Ruses gods...

We again defeated to Kan, Djuketunu, the Mir-Galidju, the Large sum - Urme and Chulman (Arctic Kama = Upper Kama), but the drought of 1583 caused terrible famine and disorder among people. On Bulgarian state army Alashi again moved, destroying all on the way.

Mohammed - Bahadir by then already died, Ishtyak ulug-bek Ermak, otlichivshijsja in war with chulman cossacks, fallen during attack on Djuketun, and from notable beks with the Sheikh-Gali remained only son Enei-Bek Berket. Then Seid-Emir arrived to Challyians with the treasury and called them to begin under his banners, but those, exhausted famine and being afraid of Ruses slaughter, answered him: “we business more important war - cleaning of bread”. Upset Seid herds to retreat to Ufa. Bashkort Bulgars also left{abandoned} him, and with him remained only 50 cossacks. At mouth Ika one cossack told Seid: “About, kan! Horses become exhausted also to us it is necessary

To leave here either gold, or your favorite books. You will order to throw books?” The sheikh - Gali answered: “the Treasury is necessary for the state and if the state ceased to exist - so to what to us gold? Now to people than the book will be more important, whence they can derive strength for preservation of the customs and restoration of Bulgarian state. And one dastan Gali during such time costs{stands} more expensively any treasury. Therefore throw gold and carry books”.

Cossacks dug in mouth Ika all treasures Bulgarian oj treasury so infidels, occupied Ufa, got nothing. The sheikh - Gali left{abandoned} capital in the late autumn, having declared the rest with him 12 beks: “On us there is an enemy who threatens with destruction to all our people in case of resistance, and people completely become exhausted and is not capable to expose a little significant number of soldiers. The majority beks for the sake of preservation of the possession shamefully obeyed Uruss. In that case our resistance will be senseless and obrechet people on destruction. Allah, apparently, leaves to me one: voluntary discharge from thousand-year authority of my clan above Bulgarian state Bulgar. And I, as well as owe to all slaves Almighty, easy and resignedly I obey to command Great Tangry and I leave in Kyrgyz”.

After these words Seid made a pray and with the cossacks left{abandoned} Ufa. His{its} writing-book comes to the end with the verses devoted betrayed him and Bulgarian state beks:

Dus, dus digenem - Dus tugel ikensez! Dus dip uk jergenem - the Bar yes doshman ikensez!

And, balalar, balalar, Bezden eat ai kal it is alai ar; Bezden kalgan mallarny Ruslar kilep alalar.

I called you “my friends” - Not you were such. Thought, friendship you are strong. Appeared, you are enemies.

Children, children - after us you will stay in tears. And the inheritance will be gone - Rus him, having come, will take.

306

307

And bitterness of these words - till now on our lips... Tell that after departure of Seid-Emir of him 12 true beks became podvijnichat in business of distribution of belief and deserved a rank of sheikhs. Each of them based medrese, shakirdy which were engaged in copying of rare and shabby books. All necessary for existence of these medrese was got on means from the dug treasury. When it was necessary, the most capable to fight shakirdy were united in groups and made the way through armies infidels to mouth Ika of % Having taken necessary quantity{amount} of gold, they promptly came back in the auls where operated medrese. Due to this was saved from destruction of hundred books, and our people could sustain all strokes of bad luck and again rise on sacred war for restoration of the Bulgarian state Bulgar...

 Seid Gali
“Hon kitaby”

«... And the Seid Gali “Hon kitaby” contains this message of Shams Tebir about the origin of Bulgar people: “Thirty three thousand years ago the ancestors of Hons-Imens lived in Greater and Smaller Rum, and the Sind people lived on the banks of Idel, then called Ur... After a time of a friendly coexistence, the Sinds divided into Sinds-Uras and Sinds-Murdases, who began fighting each other. In the beginning Uras were victorious and began to be dominant... After a while on Türks attacked Uras and sufferred defeat. One part of the Türks fled to Hin and even beyond the Chulman sea (Arctic), another left to the Great Rum, a third was taken prisoner. But in that war the Uras were weakened, and Murdases attacked them. The Biys of the enslaved Türks helped Murdases, and they captured the reign. But the Türks did not receive the expected freedom, and then they killed the Biys and joined to the Ura clan Saban...

Some time later, the Arabs defeated Imens of the area of the river Kubrat and Great Rum, and the majority of them left to the east through the Smaller Rum. The Türks of the Greater Rum departed with them, and hired into a service of the Imens in the Smaller Rum, where they received a nickname “tormen” (“bull people”). Later this name was altered to “Turkmens”...

When left on the east Imens come nearer to the rivers Aka-Idel and Shir Murdases tried to prevent their promotion and entered with them fight. However urs came over to of the side Imenians, and Murdases was defeated. After that Imens left further on the east, ishcha similarity of the native land, and found her in Cinchona. But the part Imen clans the Dulo remained in Ur and suggested urians to try happiness on the native land left{abandoned} by them. Urs willingly agreed and left on the south where split on karasaklanov, aksaklans or masgutov, Kashanians, saban, Persians, Azerbaijanians and Sindijtss. There was this resettlement 11 thousand years ago...

Then from Sindswere separated Samaransy which passed most further and occupied area of the river Kubrat. Here they based the state of Samaras...

The first governor Samarans May orMap why his descendants referred to Marduan or Mardukan was... It{He} lived 300 years and was the present rithteous person, for what, after his terrestrial death, Tan-gra transferred him on the eighth sky. It{him} pogrebli in a seven-story tower - tomb. Tombs - towers of other governors and notable inhabitants Samaransy named in memory about Mare “May - üly” (“the Way

308

309

[üst] Mara [on the sky]”) as wanted that Almighty granted to them the same posthumous favor. And poor, not able to construct tombs, buried in mountain caves. Then, when Bulgars left in steppe, funeral caves began to dig out in the ground...

Except for it; Samaransy did{made} Prayful towers or “Djok Yorty”. At these buildings was three or seven floors...

Samaransy trusted that arrangement of stars or other heavenly phenomena Almighty shows them their future, therefore especially esteemed gadatelej on stars and conducted constant supervision over the sky...

Except for it Samaransy worshipped also to mountains with gladkostoronnis tops and ledged podnojijas as trusted that on them there are phenomena Almighty. These sacred mountains referred to Samaras, and this name Samaransy gave the state. And power of Samaras the possession made, cities representing by self with fields surrounding them and pastures, and in it{her} governors of these cities reigned by turns... Free Samaransy named himself a word “bal” or “bul”, meaning “mister”. People of suburb of the soldiers typed{collected} from cattlemen, named “Bulgar“ that is “mister - soldier” as “gar” meant “soldier” and “bogatyr”. At Arabs the word “bal” began to mean “God”.

And Bulgars served not to separate governors - Vali, but only to tsars - ulug-Vali or batam Samara...

Estates of dependent people named “Berdjul”. Except for it at Samarans there was still an suburb of attendants of belief, Boyars, named “esegel”. And “esegel” meant “the Divine city” as “As” ' “or” es” on - samarski meant “Almighty”, and “gel” - city. This name was carried with those parts of the Samara cities where there were main temples, therefore and serving here Boyars named “esegel”...

Already during Mar's time the Bulgars defeated and subordinated the Arabs and subdued the Great Rum. Then the southern part of the Great Rum was named “Bal-i stan” (“Domain Lands”). The subordinated Arabian leaders had carve on their seales a sign , denoting “humility”. The brotherhood “El-Hum” ascribed to this sign the meaning of “Almighty humility”, and consequently it was put on the tombstones of rithteous persons and in the mosques. And the northern part of the Great Rum received a name Kimer or Kamyr-Batyr, the commander-in-chief of the Bulgar. After leaving the service, he stayed there with his people, and they began to be called Kimerians... And there was a big city Atrjach where lived Imens, Kimerians and Arabs . From that city to the Samaran city At-Alan come the preacher the Avar - Hum or Bar, which the Arabs called Ibragim. Ibragim began to preach a true belief, and the Arabs of Samara supported him. And it should be said that already at that time the subjugated Arabs in the Samara were a majority of the population, and consequently the Vali of At-Alan hastened to expel the preacher deemd to be dangerous to the authorities. Then Ibragim left downstream along Kubrat and founded there a new city. The Vali, wishing to expel the Ibragim's followers from there, poisoned the water of the river with poop. For that, the Almighty punished At-Alan by the Flood. But first the Creator voiced a warning to the innocent about the upcoming punishment, and those who heeded the voice, including Ibragim's followers, left to safe places. After that at the will of the Creator came a Flood, and At-Alan's area was sunk by waters of the sea...

After the Flood the number of Samarans became even smaller, and consequently the Arabian language in Samara took over. Even the rulers of the territiries from the Mar's clan began to speak it. And only the Bulgars kept the Samaran language. And all those Samarans who began to speak Arabian language, Bulgarsy began to call Berdjuls, and call the Arabian language Berdjulian. But thus Bulgars not ceased to serve the tsars, let and becoming Berdjuls. However, Sardars Bulgar there were also descendants Mara and his wives from a clan Dulo Seberchi...

The most powerful Samara tsar, ancestor Sardars Bulgar, was Nimruz, and the most powerful Berdjul tsar - Azarkan...

When in Samara there was a Flood, among hin Imensvsryhnula struggle for authority. The tsar of them upset with civil strife... With the team left on the West and subdued Türks. Here men - Imens... taken in the wife türchanok and consequently children of their became to speak in Turkic language... So there was people Honswhich, despite of acceptance of a Turkic adverb, preserved in purity Imen- traditions - even such as custom of men to braid hair in kosy. There is nothing and speak therefore that hony (Huns), certainly, kept main and unrestrained Imen aspiration to creation of great powers and to domination above all world. The some people are inclined to condemn them for it, but they spoke that them dvijet will of the Most supreme and that they cannot”Ó«Ô¿ó¿Ô*ßn to it{her}... The Türks who precipitately rendered to them resistance, hony (Huns) enthralled... Also sent in fight ahead of himself.. .. And Modjaram, voluntary recognized their authority and willingly laid hair in kosy, hony (Huns) distances of the right free and 4 thousand years ago sent in attack on the West. As hony promised to give them the most part pokorennoj them the lands Modjary shown eagerness and occupied area Sebera. Living here Ars in horror fled further away on the West, in area of Ur. Mo-

djary followed them. Occurrence of huge crowds terrified ars and self-assured Modjar which all accepted for Imensor honov (Huns), made a panic in ìóðäàñîâ environment. Without special resistance Murdases began groups to retreat on the West. Karasaklany not passed{missed} them through the steppes, and Murdases it was necessary to make the way dense woods. From the first group Murdases, left on the West, taken place ulags, from the second - Almans, from the third - Artans, from the fourth - Ulchies, from the fifth - a shooting gallery - tsy... Tirs carried away behind himself a part karasaklanov, stood apart led by biem Asparchuk in area “Aka Djir” on the river Aka and consequently nicknamed akaDjirami. With the help of these saklanov-aka-Djirs tirs won Smaller Rum and island Kresh and ruthlessly exterminated local Imentss. After that tirs were nicknamed “rum-”. Word “Rum” or “Rjam” on - Imenski meant “a Hill covered with a bush” and as the ground Imensabounded just such hills they and nicknamed her “Rum”. And the name of island “Kresh”, former in the length in three transitions, meant “Bortsovsky” - in fact time in one year here gathered Imen bogatyrs and struggled with each other. The winner could marry any of princesses of an imperial house or release{exempt} the clan from dependence... Only the small part Imensand assisting to them tormenians managed to retreat in Atrjach. Tirs and akaDjiry followed them and crushed Atrjach - the truth, after long siege. When the enemy already broke into city, tormens left from Atrjacha to Khurasan, and Kimeriansy gone in the Kara-Saklan. Imens, believed promises of the enemy to keep a life and rights of the townspeople, remained and were clobbered...

For the help tirs... helped akaDjiram to seize authority above all the Kara-Saklan. However, when appeared Kimeriansy saklany overthrown authority akaDjir dynasties and put in the head of of the leader Kimerians Targiza or Tarvil. But then rums again helped akaDjiram to come to authority, and those expelled Kimerians from their area Tamja or Temen. Run Kimeriansy acted{arrived} on service Berdjul I reign Azarkanu and were nicknamed azarkan. Then this name altered in usergan... Descendant Targiza At returned was in the Kara-Saklan and again overthrown authority akaDjir dynasties, but Rum iny tsar Alamir-Sultap again restored her... At retreated on the east, in Ur, and in honor of him both the country, and the river of Ur received name Atil... Besides the military help rums, afraid to lose the union with akaDjir, cajoled their money, expensive{dear} things and wine and completely accustomed to drinking them...

Berdjul reign Samara also were, eventually, svergnuty tsars of Persia, and Bulgars began to serve already to them. One part Bulgar led by Moshoj Persians lodged in two places Kaf of area which then departed to Gurdje, another - in Azerbaijan, and a third, azarkais- in Khurasan. It calmed living there Turkmens, not trusting to Persians. And in Smaller Rume tormens lived at mountain Balkantau; when they appeared in Khurasan also local mountains named Balkantau - in memory of the native land. And the name of mountains was translated with Samara, as “Mountains of Divine Authority”...

then come Alamir-Sultai which Persians called Iskander Zulkarnajnom, and killed tsar of Persians. After that to protect there was nobody, and Bulgars Kaf areas went under authority of the Alamir-sultan... Sardar Bulgar - descendant Mara Audan - married the daughter of Alamir-sultan Boz-bi...

After death of the Alamir-sultan during a campaign in the country of Ur or Atil kaf Bulgars began to serve the Azerbaijan tsars. This service, however, was not very long. The campaign of the Alamir-sultan in Atil forced a part resisting to him masguts to leave in the Kara-Saklan And to subordinate this ground. In the beginning they, not having understood, left the lowest authority above pokorennys karasaklanas akaDjir dynasties. But after akaDjiry tried rumsto return with the help authority above the Kara-Saklan, tsar masguts Azak declared akaDjirs outside of the law and invited to himself to service Bulgar. Sardar Bulgar Yurgan, former descendant Audana and Boz-bi, accepted the invitation and left in Saklan with a part of the Bulgar in quantity{amount} of five thousand “tirme”. Azak given Bulgarm the ground between Temen and the sea Bulgar, for what Yurgan helped masgutam to break akaDjirov. Bii akaDjirs was exterminated it is universal{without exception}, and people was poshchajen and it became come Bulgar. After that Yurgan married princess from targiz clans At due to what targizs also Bulgarian im it became come, and he was appointed Azak Ulugbek the Kara-Saklan...

When in the Kara-Saklan passed authority to a clan of younger son Azaka, Alan, position Bulgar changed. Alan discharged other brothers of authority and began to constrain in every possible way Bulgar, supported the senior son Azaka, Asparuha. Therefore, when on Agidel the first come hon (Huns) the leader Kama - Batyr And formed the state Bulyar. The most part Bulgar immediately recognized him kap and began to serve him. As the leader Bulgar was then Beser-bi hony (Huns) began to name Bulgar besermenami. Then also Türks and Uruses began to name Bulgar... Other part Bulgar, received the name Burdjan, remained in Djurashe, the third - in Temene, the fourth - on wider and the fifth - in the Kara-Saklan...

When new hon (Huns) tsar Bulümar established in Bulyar authority of the dynasty and enjoined to name Bulyar Atilem, buljar bulga-

ry began to call himself also “buljar” - in memory of the old service hon (Huns) kans. To arrival Bulümara to structure Bulgar such quantity{amount} hon (Huns) clans come that Bulgars apprehended hon (Huns) language...

Alan's dynasty precipitately refused to recognize authority Atilja in hope on sadum the help, and angry Bulümar with mostly honov (Huns), switching Bulgar and Modjar, moved on Shir and the Kara-Saklan...

It is a lot of hon (Huns) Bulgar those began to be employed within disorders on profitable service to Persians, and, under their requests, settled them in bul-gar areas Kaftau. It became very fast hon (Huns) Bulgar so much that these areas began to name “Hondjakami” (“hon (Huns) districts *)... Sheikh Gali states these events a little differently...* ' <
