The Lesser Nogai Horde, also called Kazyev Horde was a nomadic feudal state formation of the Nogai peoples on the right bank of the Volga and in the Azov region, separated in the second half of the 16th century from the Nogai Horde with the invasion of the Kalmyk Khanate[1][2]
The lesser Nogais were nominally subject to the Crimean Khanate. They were divided into the following groups: Budjak (from the Danube to the Dniester), Yedisan (from the Dniester to the Bug), Jamboyluk (Bug to Crimea), Yedickul (north of Crimea) and Kuban. In particular, the Yedisans are mentioned as a distinct group, and in various locations[3]
The horde was also known simply as Nogai Tatars, not to be confused with the North Nogai Horde.

From west to east he lists 'Kipchak', Yedishkul, Jambulak, Navruz, Mansur(sic), and Beshtau Nogay. North of Jambulak-Beshtau were Yedisans and north of these names are omitted. East of the Beshtau Nogay were Turkmen and then the Kara-Nogai in the present Nogai location west of the Caspian.
