In 1740, at the end of the raging uprising, a mysterious figure emerged in Bashkiria, leaving a lasting mark not only on the history of this region, but also on Kazakhstan, Central Asia, and even Mongolia. After several years of bloody struggle, when it seemed the people's strength had been broken, a new leader, nicknamed Karasakal, meaning "Blackbeard," emerged onto the political scene. He was the last Khan of Bashkiria.
