Jäñgir-Kerei Khan
Jäñgır-Kerei Han (Kazakh: جاڭگىر-كەرەي حان, Cyrillic: Жәңгір-Керей хан; 1801 – 28 July [O.S. 11 August] 1845) was the penultimate Khan of the Bukey Horde, ruling from 1823 to 1845, and the final khan to be formally appointed. During his rule, he sought to establish the Horde as a modern state based on the model of the Russian Empire, and enacted a number of reforms. He remains popularly known for his efforts to bring formal education to the Horde, but is controversial for his promotion of feudalism over nomadism, leading to Isatay Taimanov's uprising in 1836. In addition to his reign, he also worked as a pathologist, studying anthrax extensively, and an anthropologist, recording Kazakh national epics and weaponry.
