Baskak
A Baskak (authentic plural Baskaki) were military district governors appointed -alongside civilian Daruga, doroga or doraga- by the ruling khan of the Golden Horde, responsible in their provinces for levying tribute and extinguishing popular discontent. The position was especially important during the Golden Horde's period of direct rule (1250-1275)
