THE SOVIET HISTORIOGRAPHY AND THE QUESTION OF KAZAKHSTAN’S HISTORY

THE SOVIET HISTORIOGRAPHY AND
as – “turok” and “turetskiy”; and Russian Turks as – “türok” and “türksiy”
to demonstrate that these two populations had no connection.
The prohibition of studying Golden Hordes’ history continued almost
until the time of the USSR’s decay. At that time, especially in the Tatar
Autonomous Republic, studies about the subject started to reappear.
It can be more likely said that today a significant progress has been
made. Almost all of resources on the subject of Golden Horde have
been released as well as many researches on the political, economic,
state organization and socio-cultural history of Golden Horde have
newly been published. The Golden Horde Researches Institute founded
under the auspices of the Şihabeddin Mercani History Institute hosts
an International Golden Horde Symposium every year and publishes
periodical journals called “Golden Horde Review”, “Zolotoordınskaya
Tsivlizatsiya (Civilization of Golden Horde)” and “Numismatics of Golden
Horde”. More recently, even in Russia itself some historians look
more positively at Golden Horde than before. However, the number
of scholars who still hold the old negative perspectives is still high.
But, the actual important thing is to consider is that the history books
for schools and students of the non-Russian populations, such
as Golden Horde, interpret the history objectively. Otherwise, this
issue has a potential to cause enormous problems over the long run
in Russia where more than 100 ethnic groups live.
