Scholars discuss Golden Horde legacy in Astana

The legacy of the Golden Horde could serve as a foundation for strengthening historical and cultural ties across Eurasia. This was highlighted at an international conference in Astana. Experts noted that Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tatarstan and Bashkortostan share common historical roots and cultural traditions. Particular attention was paid to the legacy of the Zhoshy Ulus and its role in the development of Turkic statehood. Scholars also emphasized Kazakhstan’s significance as one of the largest centers of Golden Horde civilization and as a custodian of its historical heritage.

«The history of statehood in the Great Steppe dates back to the Zhoshy Ulus. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev also highlighted the Golden Horde’s significant legacy of governance at an international symposium. Modern Kazakhstan is the cultural and civilizational successor to the Zhoshy Ulus. At this conference, researchers are discussing the history of the Golden Horde and its system of government,» said Maksat Alpysbes, Head of the Golden Horde Civilization Department at Eurasian National University.
