Kazym

Kazym was a Khanty principality in the Kazym River basin, based at Mozym near the river's mouth. It arose in the fourteenth century and later fell under the Siberian Khanate.

After a Moscow expedition in 1499, its people acknowledged Russian rule but regained independence in 1500. Prince Sengep submitted to Russia in 1586; in 1593 Russian forces seized Kazym-vosh and made the principality a tribute district. Sengep's son Bogdan joined a rebellion in 1607, but was defeated and executed.
