	Regarding the Release of Russian Captives from Khiva
		I was taken prisoner by Kirgiz 15 years ago, 3 days before Easter when I was on the Yanbulatovka Stream, opposite the Genvartsevsk advance post ("forpost," which is what forward cossack settlements were called, being a kind of military fortification – F.N.M.), with a herd of horses belonging to the cossacks and my master.

	Orenburg Cossack Host P.I. Avdeev Polozov Ural
		Raids by the Kirgiz on one side and the growing power of the Muscovite tsar on the other, along with continuous internal quarrels, weakened the Bashkirs and forced them to voluntarily recognize the suzerainty of Muscovy, so that as early as 1557 they brought yasak tribute to Kazan.
		And from the extracts we have given from Privy Counselor Neplyuev’s reports it can be seen that the settlement of a cossack population along the Orenburg Line was important for the defense and security of the inhabitants beyond the line, and in consequence for the development of agriculture and industry in the territory.
		If at times Kirgiz broke through or would do so in the future, then the reason for that would not be the line’s organization or a lack of guards on it, but rather the inadequacy of individual leaders or the weakness of poor troops deployed along the foreposts.
