Muscovy's eastward expansion encounters relatively little resistance.
In 1581 the Stroganov merchant family, interested in fur trade, hires a Cossack leader, Yermak, to lead an expedition into western Siberia.
Yermak defeats the Siberian Khanate and claims the territories west of the Ob' and Irtysh rivers for Muscovy.
