About this person
By defecting to the Russians in 1667, he brought a large body of indigenous warriors and their territories under Russian protection, fundamentally altering the balance of power in the region and laying the groundwork for the eventual establishment of the Sino-Russian border. He is the ancestor of the Russian princely Gantimurov family, which for centuries held influence in eastern Siberia. His date of birth is unrecorded; he was born on the Nercha River, near what later became Nerchinsk.
