[3] According to the data of the Institute of Philology of the Siberian Branch of the RAS, there were 8,000 Baraba Tatars in Novosibirsk Oblast in 2012.

The Baraba Tatars lived in the eastern portion of the Khanate of Sibir when it was established in the 15th century.

[6] In 1722, a rebellion arose among the Baraba after Peter the Great issued a decree that mandated all subjects must pledge allegiance to the tsar.

Becoming Russian subjects was a tactic by the Baraba to find an excuse not to pay yasaq to the Dzungars.

[8] The form of Islam practiced by the Baraba is significantly influenced by shamanism and residual beliefs in nature spirits and deities.

[10] Baraba Tatars have traditionally engaged in hunting, fishing, agriculture, and breeding some cattle and horses.
