Abstract
The article is devoted to the question of the Turkic peoples’ influence on the development of Don Cossacks. This issue is debatable among Russian historians. Since the beginning of the XVI century, there have been found archival documents confirming a constant ethno-cultural interaction. Tatars were among those who lived in the Don winter villages, and were often sent on special assignments as a delegate to Moscow. The process of their integration had both the format of blood-related ties with Don Cossacks, and the preservation of ethno-cultural autonomy and religion within the Tatar Stanitsa. On the example of the Burkhanovs Don Cossack family, archival data on the integration of Tatars into the Don “melting pot” is presented. The work is based on archival documents and scientific research of historians studying Don Cossacks. As a result of the conducted research, it was possible to identify the main directions of Tatars’ participation in the ethnogenesis of Don Cossacks, moreover, here was revealed the fact of migration to the Crimean Khanate and Turkey.
