Sir Richmond Campbell Shakespear, CB (11 May 1812 – 16 December 1861) was an Indian-born British Indian Army officer. He helped to influence the Khan of Khiva to abolish the capture and selling of Russian slaves in Khiva.[2] This likely forestalled the Russian conquest of the Khiva, although it ultimately did not prevent it.
