Campaigns

• Beginning of the political subjugation of the Nokhchi (1588–1591)

  As historian Murat Yasar notes, to the Nokhchi this looked like a military pact: "many local rulers in Muscovy's southern and eastern borderlands, especially in the North Caucasus, regarded the shert more as a military alliance between themselves and one of their potential allies"

  Historian Murat Yasar adds that consent was incentivized through bribery: "the signing of the shert went hand in hand with the monetary allowances and gifts that the tsar gave to the local rulers"

Procedures

• Beginning of the political subjugation of the Nokhchi (1588–1591) — technique Bribery of Elites

  To secure the political subordination of the Nokhchi elite, the administration used financial incentives: historian Murat Yasar points out that «the signing of the shert went hand in hand with monetary allowances and gifts that the tsar gave to local rulers»
