Moxammadamin of Kazan

Moxammadamin of Kazan (1469-1518) was Khan of the Kazan Khanate from 1484 to 1485 (interrupting Ilham Ghali of Kazan's terms), from 1487 to 1495 (succeeding Ilham Ghali and preceding Mamuq of Kazan), and from 1502 to 1518 (succeeding Ghabdellatif of Kazan and preceding Shah-Ali). A son of Ibrahim of Kazan, he served as a Russian puppet ruler during his first two reigns, seizing power from his brother Ibrahim in 1487. He used Russian aid against Mamuq's Nogai faction in 1495, only to be deposed. He returned to power in 1502 on his younger brother Ghabdellatif's deposition by the Russians, and he turned against Russia in 1505, slaughtering Russian merchants at the annual fair and burning the outskirts of Nizhny Novgorod. He died in 1519.
