KEYWORDS: Kyrgyz, Kipchak, tribe, khan, governor, mirshab, Kokand, channel, feudal, valley. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCUSSION In the first half of the XIX century, the Kokand khanate was the largest region in Central Asia. The Kokand khanate was bordered by East Turkestan in the east, the Bukhara Emirate and the Khiva Khanate in the west. The territory of the khanate in the north was completely subjugated by three Kazakh juzes and bordered by Russia. The southern borders of the khanate included mountainous areas such as Karategin, Kulob, Darvaz, Shogunan. For these regions, there will be bloody wars with the Emirate of Bukhara, which passed from hand to hand. The territory of the Kokand khanate, in contrast to the Bukhara emirate and the Khiva khanate had many wetlands, valleys and fertile lands. The center of the khanate was the Fergana Valley, where such large cities as Kokand, Margilan, Uzgen, Andizhan, and Namangan were located. Large cities such as Tashkent, Shymkent, Turkestan, Avliyota, Pishtak, Oqmasjid were also under the rule of Kokand khanate. The population of the Kokand khanate is relatively dense, about 3 million.

  • The Crimean Khanate, Ottomans and the Rise of the Russian Empire*
    STRUGGLE FOR EAST-EUROPEAN EMPIRE: 1400-1700 The Crimean Khanate, Ottomans and the Rise of the Russian Empire* HALİL İNALCIK The empire of the Golden Horde, built by Batu, son of Djodji and the grand son of Genghis Khan, around 1240, was an empire which united the whole East-Europe under its domination. The Golden Horde empire comprised ali of the remnants of the earlier nomadic peoples of Turkic language in the steppe area which were then known under the common name of Tatar within this new political framework. The Golden Horde ruled directly över the Eurasian steppe from Khwarezm to the Danube and över the Russian principalities in the forest zone indirectly as tribute-paying states. Already in the second half of the 13th century the western part of the steppe from the Don river to the Danube tended to become a separate political entity under the powerful emir Noghay. In the second half of the 14th century rival branches of the Djodjid dynasty, each supported by a group of the dissident clans, started a long struggle for the Ulugh-Yurd, the core of the empire in the lower itil (Volga) river, and for the title of Ulugh Khan which meant the supreme ruler of the empire. Toktamish Khan restored, for a short period, the unity of the empire. When defeated by Tamerlane, his sons and dependent clans resumed the struggle for the Ulugh-Khan-ship in the westem steppe area. During ali this period, the Crimean peninsula, separated from the steppe by a narrow isthmus, became a refuge area for the defeated in the steppe.

  • The Crimean Tatars and Their Russian-Captive Slaves an Aspect of Muscovite-Crimean Relations in the 16Th and 17Th Centuries
    The Crimean Tatars and their Russian-Captive Slaves An Aspect of Muscovite-Crimean Relations in the 16th and 17th Centuries Eizo MATSUKI The Law Code of Tsar Aleksei Mikhailovich (Ulozhenie), being formed of 25 chapters and divided into 976 articles, is the last and the most systematic codification of Muscovite Law in early modern Russia. It was compiled in 1649, that is more than one and a half centuries after Russia’s political “Independence” from Mongol-Tatar Rule. Chapter VIII of this Law Code, comprised of 7 articles and titled “The Redemption of Military Captives”, however, reveals that Muscovite Russia at the mid-17th century was yet suffering from frequent Tatar raids into its populated territory. The raids were to capture Russian people and sell them as slaves. Because of this situation, the Muscovite government was forced to create a special annual tax (poronianichnyi zbor) to prepare a financial fund needed for ransoming Russian captive-slaves from the Tatars.1 Chapter VIII, article 1 imposes an annual levy on the common people of all Russia: 8 dengi per household for town people as well as church peasants; 4 dengi for other peasants; and 2 dengi for lower service men. On the other hand, articles 2-7 of this chapter established norms for ransom-payment to the Tatars according to the rank of the Russian captives: for gentry (dvoriane) and lesser gentry (deti boiarskie) twenty rubles per 100 chetvert’ of their service land-estate (pomest’e); for lesser ranks such as Musketeers (strel’tsy),2 Cossacks, townspeople, and peasants a fixed payment from ten to forty rubles each.

  • The Northern Black Sea Region in Classical Antiquity 4
    The Northern Black Sea Region by Kerstin Susanne Jobst In historical studies, the Black Sea region is viewed as a separate historical region which has been shaped in particular by vast migration and acculturation processes. Another prominent feature of the region's history is the great diversity of religions and cultures which existed there up to the 20th century. The region is understood as a complex interwoven entity. This article focuses on the northern Black Sea region, which in the present day is primarily inhabited by Slavic people. Most of this region currently belongs to Ukraine, which has been an independent state since 1991. It consists primarily of the former imperial Russian administrative province of Novorossiia (not including Bessarabia, which for a time was administered as part of Novorossiia) and the Crimean Peninsula, including the adjoining areas to the north. The article also discusses how the region, which has been inhabited by Scythians, Sarmatians, Greeks, Romans, Goths, Huns, Khazars, Italians, Tatars, East Slavs and others, fitted into broader geographical and political contexts.

  • The Crimean Tatar Question: a Prism for Changing Nationalisms and Rival Versions of Eurasianism*
    The Crimean Tatar Question: A Prism for Changing Nationalisms and Rival Versions of Eurasianism* Andrew Wilson Abstract: This article discusses the ongoing debates about Crimean Tatar identity, and the ways in which the Crimean Tatar question has been crucial to processes of reshaping Ukrainian identity during and after the Euromaidan. The Crimean Tatar question, it is argued, is a key test in the struggle between civic and ethnic nationalism in the new Ukraine. The article also looks at the manner in which the proponents of different versions of “Eurasianism”—Russian, Volga Tatar, and Crimean Tatar—have approached the Crimean Tatar question, and how this affects the attitudes of all these ethnic groups to the Russian annexation of Crimea. Key words: Crimean Tatars, Euromaidan, Eurasianism, national identity, nationalism—civic and ethnic Introduction In the period either side of the Russian annexation of Crimea, the Crimean Tatar issue has become a lodestone for redefining the national identities of all the parties involved. The mainstream Crimean Tatar movement has been characterized by steadfast opposition first to the Yanukovych regime in Ukraine and then to Russian rule. This position has strengthened its longstanding ideology of indigenousness and special rights, but it has also * The author is extremely grateful to Ridvan Bari Urcosta for his invaluable help with research for this article, to Bob Deen and Zahid Movlazada at the OSCE HCNM, to Professor Paul Robert Magocsi, and to the anonymous reviewers who made useful comments and criticisms. 1 2 ANDREW WILSON belatedly cemented its alliance with Ukrainian nationalism.

  • Turkic Lexical Elements in the Bulgarian Language DOI
    Albina G. Khayrullina-Valieva* Turkic Lexical Elements in the Bulgarian Language DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/LC.2020.015 This article is devoted to the study of Turkic loan words in the vocabulary of the Bulgarian language. „By Turkic lexical elements we mean all the originally Turkic words that entered the Bulgarian language from any Turkic language, and words of any other origin (Arabic, Persian, Greek, Italian, etc.), that have entered the Bulgarian language through the Turkic languages” (Czumbałowa 1986: 8). Famous Bulgarian scholar Samuel Bernstein points out that the beginning of a serious study of Turkism in the Bulgarian language was set by Franz Xaver Ritter von Miklosich with his fundamental researchDie türkischen Elemente in der südost- und osteuropäischen Sprachen. He distinguished three periods of intensive influence of Turkic-speaking peoples on the languages of south-Eastern and Eastern Europe: the initial period – the first centuries of our era; the second period – at the end of 7th century; the third 205 period – the arrival and settlement of Ottoman Turks in the Balkans. This influence was not limited only to lexical borrowings, but there are also traces of the influence of Turkic speech on word formation and syntax. So far the periodization proposed by Nikolay Baskakov has been the most successful. According to it, the first period was characterized by „the penetration of the Hun tribes 1(33) 2020 into Eastern Europe and the Black Sea region, the earliest of which are known as the Huns, Avars, Sabirs, Suvars, etc., and at a later time, beginning with the 4th–5th centuries AD, under the name of the Bulgars and Khazars”.

  • KARAIMS: the IDENTITY QUESTION* the Name Karaims1
    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI 2014, No. II PIOTR LUCZYS KRZYSZTOF RATAJ Poznań KARAIMS: THE IDENTITY QUESTION* The name Karaims1 derives from karaim, a Hebrew word meaning “the reading one”, “the calling one” and hence Karaims are also called “the people of Scripture”.2 But karaim also means “the detached”, “the disconnected”. The same word in Turk- ish means “black”3, “north”, or “poor”, which suggests Turkic origin of Karaims, namely from Khazars. Karaim dignitaries from the early 20th century popularised that version of the origin of Karaim people, however, that origin is not sufficiently documented.4 Thus the question whether Karaims were the followers of Judaism in Khazaria is frequently asked. In publications on history, such a religious faction is mentioned but it is not exactly clear whether it was of Karaims.5 This is hardly * This article was previously published in “Przegląd Zachodni” 2013, No. 3, pp. 93-116. 1 As many authors argue: “In Polish scientific (and popular) publications, followers of Karaism are referred to as karaimi [Karaims] and not as karaici [Karaites]”. Cf. M. Pawelec (2010), Niepojęty świat Karaimów?, “Awazymyz”, No. 3(28), http://www.awazymyz.karaimi.org/zeszyty/item/357-niepojety- -swiat-karaimow [accessed: 08.06.13]. This does not seem, however, to be a consistent terminological convention. Cf. B. Janusz (1927), Karaici w Polsce, Kraków. 2 R.

  • The Oghuz Turks of Anatolia
    THE OGHUZ TURKS OF ANATOLIA İlhan ŞAHİN The migration and settlement of Oghuz groups, who were also known as Turkmens in Anatolia, were closely related with the political and demographic developments in the Great Seljuk Empire. But in order to understand these developments better, it would be reasonable to dwell first a little on the conditions under which the Oghuz groups lived before migrating to Anatolia, and look to the reasons behind their inclination towards Anatolia. The Oghuz groups, who constituted an important part of the Göktürk and Uygur states, lived along the banks of the Sır Darya River and on the steppes lying to the north of this river in the first half of the tenth century1. Those were nomadic people, and they made a living out of stock breeding, so they needed summer pastures and winter quarters on which they had to raise their animals and survive through cold winter days comfortably. In addition to them, there were sedentary Oghuz groups. In those days, the sedentary Oghuz groups were called "yatuk"2 which means lazy. This indicates that leading a nomadic life was more favorable then. Although most of the Oghuz groups led a nomadic life, they did have a certain political and social structure and order. There are various views about the meaning of the word “Oghuz”, and according to dominant one among them, the word means “tribes”, and “union of tribes” or “union of relative tribes”3. So, in other words, the word had organizational and structural connotations in the political and social sense. The Oghuz groups, consisting of a number of different boys or tribes, can be examined in two main groups since the earlier periods in the most classical age of Prof.

  • Arguments Towards the Rising of Ottoman Empire Osmanli Kuruluş Dönemi Tartişmalari
    Ayşen ÇAKIRAY ARGUMENTS TOWARDS THE RISING OF OTTOMAN EMPIRE OSMANLI KURULUŞ DÖNEMİ TARTIŞMALARI Ayşen ÇAKIRAY1 ÖZET Osmanlı Devleti küçük bir uç beyliği iken büyük bir imparatorluğa dönüşmüş ve altı asır boyunca çok geniş bir coğrafyada hüküm sürmüştür. Bu büyük imparatorluğun kimler tarafından kurulduğu, temelleri ve niteliği üzerine 20. Yüzyıldan itibaren birçok tez ortaya konmuştur. Bu dönemden itibaren Modern Osmanlı yazıcılığında Osmanlı’nın kuruluşu meselesi önemli bir tartışma konusu haline gelmiştir. Herbert Adams Gibbons’un “Osmanlı İmparatorluğunun Kuruluşu / Foundation of the Ottoman Empire” adlı kitabında ortaya koyduğu görüşler ile bunun tam karşıtı olarak Fuat köprülü’nün görüşleri Osmanlı kuruluş dönemi tartışmalarındaki ilk yaklaşımlardır. Wittek ‘in gazi çevreleri ve onların değerler sistemi hakkındaki tezi 1980’lerde RP. Lindner, Gy. Kaldy-Nagy, R.C. Jennings, Colin Imber, C. Heywood gibi Osmanlı tarihçileri tarafından geliştirilmiştir. Rudi Paul Lindner; “kutsal savaş” Gaza düşüncesine karşı görüş belirtmiştir. Osmanlıların dinsel kaygısının olmadığını söylemiştir. Colin İmber ve Feridun Emecen’in kaynakların yetersizliği olduğunu söyleyerek Osmanlının kökenleri hakkında görüşlerini belirtmiştir. Bu çalışmadaki amacımız Osmanlı Kuruluşunu Gibbons, Fuat Köprülü, Paul Wittek, Colin Imber, Halil Inalcık gibi tarihçilerin ortaya koyduğu görüşler çerçevesinde incelenmeye çalışmaktır. Osmanlı kuruluşu ile ilgili bütün görüşler değerlendirilecektir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Osmanlı kuruluşu, Kutsal Savaş, Gaza tezi, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun kökenleri ABSTRACT The Ottoman state was a border beylic at the beginning, then it turned to an empire and dominated a wide geography during a centuries. Many theses have presented since 20th century about who ruled the empire and its origins and its quality. Since this period modern Ottoman records about the problem of Ottoman rising became an important discussion subject.
