The name of Taishi Sheareng is well known from historical documents. At the same time, his pre-war biography is unknown. Various sources sometimes contain contradicting information about his origin and the quanitity of his vassals. Due to the circumstances resulting from the fall of the Dzhungar Khanate in 1758, Taisha Sheareng with his vassals ended up in Kalmyk nomad camps on Volga. According to the conclusions of some ivestigations, he was one of the initiators of the migration of the Kalmyks in 1771 from the banks of Volga. After migrating to the borders of the former homeland, Taisha Sheareng was elevated to the rank of Junwang by the Manchu emperor, and the territory of the modern Khovd aimag of Mongolia was defined as the place of residence of his vassals. This publication provides data on the pedigree of Taishi Sheareng and the number of his vassals according to well-known historical chronicles and archival sources.
