Жаксылык Сабитов: Мы пишем свою историю впервые за века без внешнего давления

President Tokayev recently declared that Kazakhstan is the direct heir to the Golden Horde. How much of this is a historical statement, and how much is it a political concept? If Kazakhstan is the heir to the Golden Horde, can Russia, Tatarstan, Crimea, Uzbekistan, or other states that emerged on the territory of the former Ulus of Jochi also lay claim to this legacy? How does current historical policy differ from that which existed during Nazarbayev's era? exclusive.kz discussed this with Kazakh historian and geneticist Zhaksylyk Sabitov.
