Sahin Giray

Sahin Giray was appointed khan of Crimea under the terms of the Treaty of K

Sahin Giray implemented Western-style reforms in Crimea, including military reorganization, tax reforms, and the introduction of a new legal code. These reforms alienated the traditional Tatar nobility and clergy, leading to widespread opposition.

Sahin Giray abdicated after Catherine the Great annexed Crimea into the Russian Empire. He was granted a pension and exile in Russia, but his rule ended the centuries-old Crimean Khanate.

Sahin Giray was executed by the Ottoman Empire after being extradited from Russia. The Ottomans viewed him as a traitor for collaborating with Russia, and his death eliminated the last Crimean khan.
