The Siberian Khanate, also known as the Khanate of Sibir, was a Turkic state in the forests and steppe of southwestern Siberia, along the Irtysh, Tobol and Ishim rivers. Its rulers claimed descent from the Mongol elite, and its people included Siberian Tatars as well as Khanty, Mansi and other groups who paid tribute. Its capital was Qashliq, also called Isker, near present-day Tobolsk. The khanate was ruled by Khan Kuchum from the late sixteenth century, and he was attacked by the Cossack leader Yermak, who took the capital in 1582. Kuchum fought on for years, but he was finally defeated by Russian forces and lost his remaining power, opening the way to the Russian conquest of Siberia.
