December 1709 CE
Peter, his forces having crushed the Bulavin Rebellion, places the Don Cossacks under close governmental control and tightens his grip on the Cossack states, causing some two thousand under Ignat Nekrasov to flee to the protection of the Crimean Khanate.
Descendants of these Nekrasovites will relocate to Anatolia during the Pugachev Uprising and settle near Constantinople, where their traditional culture continues to the present day.
