Continuing resistance to border conflagration led to the launching of a campaign in 1582–1584 arranged and financed by the Stroganovs and led by the Cossack leader Yermak Timofeyevich, which began with the destruction of a Mansi war band that had invaded the Russian settlers territory and ended as a punitive expedition against the Pelym Mansi and their ally the Siberian Khan.

In 1455 the Mansi of Pelym launched a campaign under the command of Prince Asyka.
•
In response the Khanty and Mansi of Pelym continually sent forth counter-campaigns to the lands of Great Perm.
•
Thus, the year 1581 went into history as the year of the raiding of Kaigorod and Cherdyn.
•
It ended in 1593 when the stronghold of Prince Ablegirim of Pelym was taken, the prince and his family captured and a Russian fortress erected in the heart of the stronghold.
•
The Principality of Pelym (largely Khanty) was located in the basin of the Konda river and stretched from the mouth of the Sosva River near Tavda up to Tabory.
