Biography
Ybyraiym Bökeev was born in 1833 as the son of Jäñgir-Kerei Khan, Khan of the Bukey Horde. He was descended from the Töre clan, a clan of direct descendants of Genghis Khan along the line of Jochi Khan.

In 1852 he graduated from the Imperial Page Corps and was sent to the His Majesty's Hussar Life Guards Regiment in Orenburg. In 1853–1860, he was engaged in managing the Kazakhs under the Orenburg Governor-General as a guards captain. In January 1853, Emperor of Russia, Nicholas I, granted Ybyraiym the title of prince by his decree. The Kazakhs sent documents and petitions addressed to him, they hoped that he would become the successor of Jäñgir-Kerei and continue his work, becoming the khan of the Bukey Horde. In an 1863 document, he is referred to as "colonel of the guard".
