New states in Russia in 1444

[Omogoy]

1) Merya. Capital Galich-Mersky, Galich of Merya. In the province of Vetluga, a separate vassal state of Mari can be created.
The leader of Merya is Dmitry Shemyakahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Shemyaka, who in 2 years will become the Grand Duke of Muscovy.
Surely, among his peers and associates, Meryans and "Meryano-Russians" were in the majority, since his nickname Shemyaka is Meryan-Mari. In the XV-XVI centuries. it was widely used in the Upper Volga region, and later recorded as a Mari proper name. Meaning - "dark" (dark-haired / swarthy). Or maybe so: "Darkest" - with an emphasis not on appearance, but on character.
2) Mozhaisk. The leader Ivan of Mozhaisk https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Иван_Андреевич_(князь_можайский) is Merya's ally.
3) Viatka is an independent pirate republic. They are also Merya's allies.
4) Horde of Ulu Muhammad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulugh_Muhammad. Former Khan of the Golden Horde, who was defeated by Kuchuk Muhammad. He is at war with Muscovy because the former vassal does not want to pay tribute when the overlord lost.
5) Suzdal. The leader - Vasily Shuiskyhttps://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Шуйский,_Василий_Юрьевич - is the offspring of an ancient dynasty.
6) Bulgaria. Leader - Ali-bek. Ruined by plague, frequent wars and pirates, this pale shadow of the former power of the last descendants of the Huns. They observed the decline of Islam and a return to Tengrism, Turumism - from the Chuvash language.
8) Muscovy. Leader - Vasily II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_II_of_Moscow. Leads the fight with the former overlord, Ulu Mohammed.

Merya is a Finno-Ugric tribe, close relatives of the current Republic of Mari El. It turns out that Dmitry had a Finno-Ugric surname Shemyaka.

Here's a nice looking map that could answer a lot of questions.

And Muscovy will be unplayable...

 

[Brunwulf]

And Muscovy will be unplayable...

I am not sure it will be unplayable ( I mean there is the Mali Tier ), It would be more harder to gobble novgorod in one hit but it would reflect that XVth Moscovy was chaos. Right now in the current state if you play Muscovy you can by choosing your first target : Destroy Kazan ( 120 years before); Novgorod ( 40 years before) , and conquer the lands of Great Horde ( 120 years before )
However i disagree with Bulgaria because Bulgaria wasmore smaller and Ulugh dominate already Kazan .

 

[Flammifleure]

Bulgaria is in the Balkans. : p If Paradox were to add this horde, it would need a different name to distinguish it from that more familiar tag.

Also, Viatka would be landlocked. Maybe they were river pirates historically, but with the way the game works now it would be pointless to give them a pirate government.

I'm eager to try out these suggestions in a mod.

Most modern books say that Ulu-Mohammed became the founder of the Kazan Khanate. I relied on Pochekaev's book "Tsars of the Horde", published in St. Petersburg in 2009 https://www.litmir.me/bd/?b=159376. The ruler of Kazan was Ali-bek, who was the son of Giyas ad-Din ben Shadibek https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Шадибек-хан. He swore allegiance to Ulu-Mohammed. The son of Ulu-Muhammed, Mahmud, became the Khan of Kazan, and not Ulu-Muhammed himself. He killed Ali-bek when he fell away after the death of Ulu-Mohammed.

I got data about Volga Bulgaria from the book of the Chuvash historian Dimitriev V.D. "The Chuvash people as part of the Kazan Khanate" Cheboksary, 2018 https://na5ballov.pro/lib/kray/7731-dimitriev-vd-chuvashskiy-narod-v-sostave-kazanskogo-hanstva.html.
Well, then you can call Bulgaria Chuvashia in that case. Because according to Dimitriev, Bulgarian words are identical to Chuvash, not Tatar. Dimitriev believes that the Tatar population of Kazan is newcomer, it is very different in language from the Chuvash, because they are descendants of the Kypchaks or Cumans.
The Chuvash are the only people with a R-speaking Turkic language, that is, the language of the Huns. And Kazan Tatars are Z-lingual like most other Turks. Without an interpreter, the Chuvash and Tatars will not understand each other. Kazan Tatars will understand the language of the Turk or the Uyghur, but not the Chuvash.

Dimitriev identifies 3 stages of the destruction of the Bulgarian (Chuvash) ethnic group.
The facts cited (sources were often cited for persuasiveness) testify to three stages of ruin and devastation of the Bulgarian land, destruction and displacement of its
settled population: the first stage covers 1357-1379, when the Horde emirs and princes with their Tatar detachments, nomadic hordes, with some participation of Russian princes, who received labels from the khans for a great reign and carried out the orders of the khans, as well as the ushkuyns, sacked and plundered the Bulgarian-Chuvash cities and villages, exterminated people; the second stage - 1380-1399, characterized by the preservation of the action of the forces of the first stage, the beginning of ruin by the Mangyts of Edigey (since 1391) and mainly barbaric destruction and extermination of the people by Aksak Timur (Tamerlane); the third stage - the first two decades of the 15th century, when Edigei and his Mangyt yurt, with the participation of frequently changing khans and the Russian princes who helped them, completely devastated the Bulgarian land. It can be seen from the sources cited that the Ushkuyniki plundered Russian cities and villages more than the Bulgarian ones. A significant number of the population of the Bulgarian land died during epidemics of plague and other diseases, in dry and hungry years.

 

[Omogoy]

I got information about the struggle between Merya and Muscovy from the site of the revival of Finno-Ugric traditions http://www.merjamaa.ru/news/shemjakiny_vojny_merja_v_kontekste_politicheskoj_istorii/2019-02-18-1432. Shemyakа wars. Merya in the context of the political history of Muscovy in the XV century.

The eastern borders of Bulgaria correspond to Bashkortostan, which was part of the Nogai Horde, which in turn was part of the Nomadic Uzbeks. These nomads effectively exterminated and forced the Chuvash settled population south and east of the Kama River, a tributary of the Volga River. I cited these data in the section on Siberia https://clck.ru/32XWCR

According to the oldest Chuvash scientist, now deceased, Dimitriev: Comparison of the approximate population of Volga Bulgaria and its Bulgarian land in the XII - early XIII centuries. (1.3 million and 1.0 million), the number of cities of the same time (about 50) and villages (up to 2000) with the corresponding parameters in the years of the emergence of the Kazan Khanate (about 250 thousand Chuvashs - in two cities and about 500 - in the villages) shows that during the defeat of the cities and villages of Volga Bulgaria in 1236-1237. later, especially during the devastation of the Bulgarian land at the end of the XIV - beginning of the XV centuries, there was a decrease in the number of the Bulgarian-Chuvash population by 75% (I wrote about 80% earlier, a more careful calculation allows us to talk about 75% ).

That was very informative, but my only point was that there's already a country named Bulgaria, and for various reasons I think that takes precedence.

I'm not sure if Paradox will think this worth adding given how quickly it merges into Kazan, but if they did, the new tag should probably be "Volga Bulgaria," "Volga Horde" or just "Volga." Probably if they did have it, the way to model what you describe would be to have Kazan as a vassal to Volga, then when Ulugh dies you get an event to inherit the vassal and reform into Kazan yourself.

 

[Aramenian]

I think that the most important changes that must take place in the region of Russia and Siberia are;
1 Perm becomes an independent country with a pagan religion.
2:Vym becomes either an independent country or a vassal of Novgorod. The country should be Orthodox because the Komi people got converted to Orthodoxy.
3:As for the Tatar countries:
-Greath Horde - Sayid Ahmad I
-Golden Horde/Astrakhan - Kuchuk Muhammad
-Kazan ?

4:Adding the playable countries of the Mari, Udmurt and Mordvins peoples.

The Horde of Ulu Muhammad, as you have described... is the Khanate of Kazan, according to the article linked and EU4, which has him as the ruler of Kazan in 1444.

 

[Omogoy]

The Horde of Ulu Muhammad, as you have described... is the Khanate of Kazan, according to the article linked and EU4, which has him as the ruler of Kazan in 1444.

Who told you this? Are you sure about this?
I am not sure that the Kazan Khanate was founded in 1444. The Kazan Khanate was founded in 1445, founded by the son of Ulu-Muhammed Mahmudek (Mahmud).

Institute of History named after Sh. Marjani Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan Center for Golden Horde Studies and Tatar khanates named after M.A. Usmanov
A.V. Aksanov "Kazan Khanate and Muscovite Rus: Interstate Relations in the Context of Hermeneutical Research" Kazan - 2016. The opinion that the Kazan Khanate was founded by Ulu Muhammad was refuted by a more detailed study of the chronicles http://goldhorde.ru/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Аксанов-А.В..pdf.
The horde of Ulu-Mohammed was not the Kazan Khanate. First, in 1437, they captured the city of Belev in the Tula region, where they defeated the Muscovites, then they, in winter 1444-1445, conquered Nizhny Novgorod, while Nizhny Novgorod became their capital, then they conquered Murom. Further, in the war with Muscovy, Ulu Muhammad defeated the Moscow prince, Vasily II, and took him prisoner. At this time, Dmitry Shemyaka captured Muscovy and became the Grand Duke of Moscow. However, Ulu Mohammed did not want Dmitry Shemyaka to become the prince of Moscow, this meant a war between the Horde of Ulu Mohammed and Muscovy - Merya. Ulu Mohammed released Vasily II for a ransom and helped him to become the Grand Duke of Moscow back.

I wonder if by any chance there were two cities called Kazan.

Subsequently, the Bulgars actually restored their state with the last capital in Iska-Kazan [21] . In the 15th century, Kazan became the new cultural and political center of the Volga Bulgars and the transferred capital . In 1438, with the advent of the Chingizid dynasty, under the leadership of Ulu-Muhammed , the Kazan Khanate was formed on the territory of the Volga Bulgaria

They write that at first the capital of Volga Bulgaria (the Bulgarian ulus of the Golden Horde) was the city of Bolghar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolghar. In 1361 it was destroyed by the Golden Horde prince Bulat-Timur. Then it was restored, but in 1431 it was destroyed by the governor Fyodor Pyostry, after which it was abandoned by the inhabitants and was no longer restored.
After the decline of the city of Bolgar, the center moved first to Old Kazan. Then, during the period of the Kazan Khanate, the center moved to New Kazan. At the same time, there were no two cities of Kazan, because the townspeople from Old Kazan moved to New Kazan. The legend says that Kazan was founded by refugees from the city of Bolghar, who suffered from the invasion of Timur.
The Chuvash scientist Dimitriev considered the culture of Volga Bulgaria not Tatar, but purely Chuvash. The Tatarization of Volga Bulgaria was late after the foundation of the Kazan Khanate, when the horde of Ulu-Muhammed arrived there after the death of the leader, that is, after 1445.

 

[Aramenian]

I think the Khanate of Kazan may be in 1444. It lost its capital which became the capital of Prince Ali Beg who was a pretender to rebuild Volga Bulgaria.

Ulugh Muhammad subsequently moved to Volga and in 1438 captured Kazan, separating it from the Golden Horde. In 1439 he raided Russia and burned Kolomna and the outskirts of Moscow. Nothing is known of his life from 1439-1444, but in 1444–45 Ulugh Muhammad occupied Nizhny Novgorod and marched on Murom. Vasili II counterattacked in 1445 but was defeated and captured at the Battle of Suzdal, only to be ransomed. Ulugh Muhammad died a few months later, possibly murdered by his son Mäxmüd.

After the death of Ulugh Muhammad (Olug Moxammat), he occupied the throne of Kazan. On ascending the throne, power in the city of Kazan had been usurped by the Bulgarian prince Ali Beg. Mahmudek attacked, defeated and killed him recovering the capital of the khanate ( 1447).

Ulugh Muhammad would not have been able to return to his old capital and was killed by his son Mahmudek Khan in Kurmuix. At the same time Mahmudek had his younger brother Yusuf killed (autumn 1446). Mahmudek succeeded him.

No. Firstly, because in the Russian chronicles, Ulu-Muhammed is never and nowhere called the Kazan Khan. Secondly, the version that Ulu-Muhammed arrived in Kazan in 1438 appeared in connection with the incorrect judgments of the later "Kazan History". Earlier chronicles, there are several of them, report that Makmudek established himself in Kazan after the death of his father in 1445, and his father never became a khan. Modern historical science has leaned towards the latter conclusion, there are no opponents. I have already cited a scientific article by Tatar historians above.
The scientific article that I cited contains a text from Kazan History, which was written in the 60s of the XVI century, that is, in the 1560s. The author of the "Kazan History" admits that he himself does not know the date of the founding of the Kazan Khanate, but asked different people who answered differently.

I heard about Kasim, the founder of the vassal Muscovy, the Kasimov Khanate, that he is the son of Ulu-Mohammed. He began to quarrel with his brother, Mahmudek, the Khan of Kazan. There was a version that Ulu-Muhammed was killed by Mahmudek and because of revenge, enmity arose between siblings.

Different versions are given about the people of the Tatar-Mishars, but they definitely do not come from the Bulgars, that is, the Chuvashs. There are several versions: 1) that they are the descendants of the Burtases, that is, the Turkicized Alans, 2) that they are the descendants of the Finno-Ugric Meshchera tribe, 3) that they are part of the population of the Golden Horde, that is, the Kipchaks who came along with Kasim, 4) that they are a mixture of all these peoples. It is said that the Golden Horde was specially allocated a separate yurt for them, the Meshchera yurt https://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/ruwiki/1035380.

Akchura Adashev, indicated on the map (with a Russian surname with the bailiff -ev), lived in 1509. His ancestor was named Bekhan, who lived in the 1380s, during the time of Dmitry Donskoy. Here are their generations https://pomnirod.ru/articles/dvorya...-murz-i-tatarskogo-dvoryanstva/akchuriny.html. The Temnikovo principality was ruled by the Bekhanids, that is, they were a separate ulus within the Golden Hordehttps://vk.com/wall-44128323_210.

By 1444, these formations, the Kasimov Khanate, the Temnikov Principality should be part of the lands of the Horde of Ulu-Muhammed.
