Bukey Horde
The Bukey Horde (Kazakh: بوكەي ورداسى, Бөкей Ордасы, romanized: Bökei Ordasy; Russian: Букеевская Орда, romanized: Bukeyevskaya Orda), also known as the Inner Horde or Interior Horde, was an autonomous khanate of Kazakhs located north of the Caspian Sea in between the Ural and Volga Rivers, but never reaching these rivers. The khanate officially existed from 1801 to 1845, when the position of khan was abolished and the area was fully absorbed into the administration of the Russian Empire. It was located in the western part of modern-day Kazakhstan. Its lands were spread over about 71,000 square kilometers.
