ORIGINS OF THE KYRGYZ-RUSSIAN RELATIONS (BASED ON ARCHIVAL MATERIALS OF THE 18TH – FIRST HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY)

The article studies archival materials of the 18th – first half of the 19th century, devoted to issues of the Kyrgyz-Russian relations from their origin to 1855. The analysis of sources proves that the Siberian (Yenisei) Kyrgyz got acquainted with Russian troops at the end of the 16th century, during the conquest of Siberia by the Russian state, however, the Russians had information concerning the Tien Shan Kyrgyz since the 18th century. Those proves are based on the reports of I.S. Unkovsky, the Ambassador of Peter I, the memo of P.I. Rychkov and the note of F.S. Efremov. The article provides data that the Siberian Kyrgyz have been gradually accepting Russian citizenship since the middle of the 18th century. The article analyzes materials about the first Kyrgyz embassy to Russia in 1785. The author emphasizes that the research of trade routes through the territory of the Tien Shan, the diplomatic mission of Zibberstein-Nyukhalov in 1813, the subsequent correspondence of Kyrgyz biys with the West Siberian Governorate General became an important milestone in the establishment of relations between the Kyrgyz and Russia. The materials provided in the article prove that the Kyrgyz-Russian relations that originated in the 18th century logically resulted in the voluntary association of Northern Kyrgyzstan to Russia.
