Chulkov Daniil Daniilovich — statesman, founder of Tobolsk, came from the Ryazan boyars, son of a famous voivode of the middle of the XVI century, Daniil Grigoryevich Ivashkin-Tutyshkin, executed in the 1560s at the behest of Ivan the Terrible.
In 1585, Chulkov was appointed as a comrade to Prince Mikhail Vasilyevich Nozdrevat, the voivode of the advanced regiment in Ryazhsk. In August 1586, he was assigned to the regiments on the Oka, but was recalled to Moscow again.
In 1587, for his connections with the disgraced boyar family of Shuisky, he was sent by royal decree to help the voivodes Vasily Sukin and Ivan Myasny to Siberia with a detachment of 500 archers with the rank of a written head. In Tyumen, the governor received an order to build a new Russian prison near the old Tatar capital of Kashlyk. His squad included the Streltsy and Ermakov Cossacks who arrived with him, led by Matvey Meshcheryak. The military men went down the Tura and Tobol to the Irtysh and in 1587 laid a wooden prison there, called Tobolsk. At the foundation of Tobolsk, Chulkov captured Prince Seid-Akhmat.
He returned to Moscow at the end of 1588 and is mentioned in the boyar list of 1588/89 among the elected Tula nobles with a note: in prison. In 1589/90 he was included in the list of nobles scheduled to march to Sweden. As part of the advanced regiment, he found himself in the direction of the main blow in the war: at the end of January 1590, the regiment stormed Yam and Ivangorod, defeated a strong Swedish army on the approach to Narva and in February took part in its siege. Apparently, Chulkov died in these bloody battles.
By the decision of the Tobolsk City Duma No. 12 of March 16, 1995, one of the streets in the microdistrict "Builder" was named Chulkov Street. In August 2022, a monument to the founder of Tobolsk, Danila Chulkov, was unveiled on Kirov Street.
