First Khan of Sibir

**Taibuga** ([Siberian Tatar](/source/Siberian_Tatar_language): Тайбоға), the first [khan](/source/Khan_(title)) of the [Khanate of Sibir](/source/Khanate_of_Sibir), came to power in the 13th century as a result of the power vacuum caused by the breakup of the [Mongol Empire](/source/Mongol_Empire). Some legendary accounts identify him as a noble from [Bukhara](/source/Bukhara) and associate him with the conversion of Sibir to [Islam](/source/Islam).[1]

The facts of his reign remain relatively unclear, but it appears he was a [shamanist](/source/Shamanist).[2] Taibuga drove the forces of [Novgorod](/source/Novgorod) from his land.[3] He was claimed as the founding ancestor by the Taibuga clan of Sibir.[4]

In the historical legends of the Siberian Tatars the two Muslim dynasties that pre-dated the Russian conquest are linked explicitly to Bukhara. [...] Several accounts in West Siberian Turkic manuscripts relate an account of the history of the dynasty that Kuchum displaced, the Taybughids. These legends [...] state that the founder of the Taybughid dynasty, Taybugha Biy, came from Bukhara, and was the son of a ruler there. Taybugha Biy brought a number of religious scholars with him, and they were responsible for the Islamization of Siberia.
