Dzhemboyluk - a historical region in the south of Ukraine between the lower reaches of the Dnieper and the Crimean peninsula - now the territory of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions [1] . In the XVIII century, it was inhabited by one of the Nogai hordes, which gave the region its name. At the beginning of the 17th century, this Nogai horde wandered in the steppes of present-day western Kazakhstan on the banks of the Emba River (hence the Nogai name Dzhemboyluk: “Gem / Yem” - Emba, “battle” - shore, “-yuk” - a collective affix), but like other Nogai It was forced under the onslaught of the Kalmyk invasion of Horluk to migrate to the Volga (1628), and in 1715 to the Kuban . Subsequently, like Edisans , the Dzhemboyluk horde took refuge in the territory of modern southern Ukraine under the protection of the Crimean khans . After joining Dzhemboyluk to Russia, the Nogais were deported to the North Caucasus (north of Mozdok ), and the region became part of Novorossia .
Relations with the Crimea
Throughout the XVIII century Dzhemboyluk was a Crimean province. The territory was ruled by a seraskir , a Crimean governor. The horde once a year sent a deputy to the celebration of Kurban Bairam in Bakhchisarai . During the wars, the Djembelolucians set out on the march up to 3 thousand horsemen.
