Timofeevich Ermak

Japanese: イェルマーク - いぇるまーく(英語表記)Тимофеевич Ермак/Timofeevich Ermak
Timofeevich Ermak

Cossack leader and conqueror of Siberia. He was a Don Cossack. The Stroganov family, wealthy merchants who were granted permission by Ivan IV to manage the Ob River basin, sent a Cossack force of over 1,600 men led by Yermak to the Urals (1579, some say 1581). His troops advanced across the Urals and reached the mouth of the Tobol River. After three days of fierce fighting, they defeated the large army of Kuchum Khan of the Sibir Khanate, who was powerful in the region, and occupied the Khanate's capital, Sibir (also known as Kashlyk) (1582). However, the Khan still had power, and on August 6, 1585, he surprised the Cossack forces. He was defeated and drowned at the mouth of the Bagas River while camping with a small force. He became a legendary hero and the protagonist of folk songs.

コサックの首領、シベリアの征服者。ドン・コサックの出身。イワン4世よりオビ川流域の経営を許可された豪商ストロガノフ家によって、イェルマークを首領とする1600余名のコサック部隊がウラルに派遣された(1579年、一説では1581年)。彼の部隊はウラルを越えて前進し、トボル川河口に出た。この地方で勢威を振るっていたシビル・ハン国のクチュム・ハンの大軍を、3日間の激戦ののち撃破し、ハン国の首都シビリ(別名カシュルィク)を占領(1582)。しかしハンはなお勢力をもち、1585年8月6日、コサック部隊を奇襲した。小部隊とともに宿営していた彼は敗れてバガス川河口で溺死(できし)した。伝説的英雄として民謡などの主人公になった。
