Landed Estates of the Elite Bukharian Families in the Irtysh Region Near Tara: Development and Inheritance Processes

The article analyzes the process of the Bukharian’s landed estate formation in the Irtysh region near Tara based on the archives of 18th-19th centuries. As one of the results, the elite Bukharian families were identified that succeeded in establishing the allodial right. The grounds for its later development have been also found in the archives. In 19th when local authorities were actively settling boundaries and adjusting territories to the corresponding number of people in census lists, the original copies of the documents were replaced. This lead to the gradual expropriation of some territories. However, some Bukharian families were able to keep the landed estate and descend it in the family until the beginning of the 20th century.
