'''Kuchum khan''' ([[Tatar language|Tatar]]: ''Küçüm, Күчүм'', [[Russian language|Russian]]: ''Кучум''; in Native [[Siberian Tatar language|Siberian dialect]] ''Küçüm'' is pronounced as /kytsym/ - ''Күцүм'', English name comes from standard Tatar pronunciation) (? - ca. [[1598]]) was the last [[khan]] of [[Siberian Khanate]]. Kuchum was the son of prince [[Mortaza]] from the [[Shayban dynasty]] (Şäyban). In [[1554]], he contested the throne of Siberian Khanate against [[Yadegar]] (Yädegär) and [[Bekbulat]], [[vassal]]s of [[Ivan IV of Russia]]. In [[1563]], Yadegar was defeated (and fled or was killed), Kuchum assumed the throne. In [[1573]], Kuchum conducted a raid on [[Perm]].
 
In [[1582]], Siberian Khanate was attacked by [[Cossack]] [[ataman]] [[Yermak]], capturing the capital [[Qashliq]]. After death of Yermak in [[1585]], Kuchum regained control of Qashliq. Kuchum attempted to unite the rival factions within the khanate nobility but met with resistance. After an unsuccessful attempt on his life by [[Qarachi]] [[Sayet khan]] (Säyet), Kuchum was forced to move his horde <!-- tribe, army --> to the steppe south of [[Irtysh]] river. There he attempted to establish a new khanate, engaging in war against Russian governors. In [[1598]], he was defeated by governor [[Andrey Voyeykov]], escaped to [[Nogay Horde]], where was killed.▼
 
Kuchum is portrayed in numerous Tatar and Russian songs and legends. His descendants conducted a guerilla warfare against the Russians until the [[1650s]]. They finally settled in [[Muscovy]], assuming the title of [[Sibirsky|Siberian Tsarevichs]].▼
