October 1653 CE
One hundred and fifty reinforcements appear in the fall of 1653 under Dimitry Zinoviev.
As a nobleman, Zinoviev demands full command; when Khabarov refuses, he is arrested.
Zinoviev, unable to gain the support of Khabarov's men and having no adequate way to deal with the Manchus, withdraws with part of the force from the Amur.
Onufriy Stepanov is appointed Khabarov's deputy in the region of Dauria (the upper reaches of the Amur River) and put in charge of the three hundred and twenty men who remain here.
Khabarov, deprived of his rank and property, is sent on a fifteen-month journey to Moscow to be tried.
