Historical background
CRIMEA - CATHERINE - CHAHIN GIRAY
In 1775, his brother Sahib II Giray, khan of Crimea, was driven from power by Devlet IV Giray. In 1777, Russian agents caused the overthrow of the khan and his replacement by his cousin Chahin, brother of his predecessor, who was by his father Ahmed a grandson of Devlet II Giray. Chahin Giray recognized himself on March 4, 1777 as a vassal of Catherine II of Russia. In October 1777, the Tatars, incited by the Sublime Porte, attacked Russia. Chahin Giray takes refuge with his protectors and Bakht Giray, son of Krim Giray, is proclaimed khan temporarily by the Turks before Chahin Giray is reinstated. On August 31, 1779, Shahin Giray was officially recognized as an independent khan by the Ottoman government. When in 1782, the nobles of the khanate revolted once again against him and replaced him with Bahadir II Giray, Chahin Giray immediately appealed to the Russians and Prince Grigori Potemkin intervened in Crimea at the head of 70,000 men; he annexed the country on April 19, 1783. Chahin Giray was then expelled to Ottoman territory. The Turks took revenge on him by exiling him to Rhodes where he was strangled and beheaded in 1787..
