Popis: The article deals with the initial period in the history of Russian-Oirat relations in South-Western Siberia, which still remains poorly explored in the historiography due to the lack of sources. The author made a conclusion, that the fact of the Oirats’ presence on the Siberian border of Muscovy was caused by taishas’ desire to preserve their possessions under condition of the ongoing war against Altyn-Khan and Kazakhs. This fact left its imprint on the peaceful Russian-Oirat relations which at the initial stage in 1607-1608 developed through two stations of Muscovy in Siberia -Tara and Tomsk. Oirat taishas participated in the negotiation process not only for the establishment of new politic and economic relations with the Moscow throne, but also to achieve their military and strategic objectives. Such policies led to the integration process of Oirats into Muscovy’s sphere of political influence.
