REGARDING THE VERSION ABOUT THE NOGAI ORIGINOF THE ALSHYN TRIBE

Аннотация

This study analyses historical sources on the history of the Alshyn tribe in order to establish their origin. This issue is topical and debatable, as there is a unanimous opinion among researchers about the Nogai origin of the Alshyns, while quite a large number of facts speak about other origin of this tribe. In the course of the study, conclusions were made that the Alshyns originated from the Great Horde, after the defeat of which by Crimean troops in 1502, they moved to the Kazakh Khanate, where they formed the Junior Zhuz. Also in this study an attempt to refute the hypotheses of previous researchers concerning the Nogai origin of the Alshyn tribe was made.
A consistent analysis of written and oral sources has been carried out in the course of which the political history of the Alshyn tribe has been reconstructed.
