The article is devoted to the identification of everyday and political traditions in the khanate of Abu-l-Hayra's and traditionally is called in the literature "State of nomadic Uzbeks". It was created in the South of Western Siberia in the 1430's, and with military means included the lands of the descendants of Shiban, the younger brother of Batu. Among researchers there is the dominant point of view on this state as originally Muslim one, which is confirmed by a reading khutbah in honor of the Khan after the occupation of the "Sain Khan throne" and a presence of sheikhs and Sufis in his environment. With all this the authority of Abu-l-Hayr relied on the considerable support of the nomadic elite for more than twenty tribes. This exact elite and the requests and interests being expressed at the nobility councils, formed the existing political and everyday traditions. They show a remarkable conservation among the nomadic population of the Turkic-Mongolian customs. The analogy of these practices can be found in the earlier traditions of the predecessors of the posthordian state, i.e. the Mongol Empire and the Ulus of Jochi. These traditions for the Abu-l-Hyères Khanate were the phenomena of cultural inertia, which was restored in the conditions of Islamization and could become adats, which is especially indicative in view to the specific relationship of the Sufi tariqahs to the phenomena of worldly life. In political terms, among them, of particular importance was the restoration of realization of the Toy and the Kurultai, associated with it, which could be carried out in accordance with existing steppe (animals) calendar. Were recovered distribution of robes and belts as the main mechanism for the redistribution of positions and powers among the steppe aristocracy. Military tradition was also focused on samples of the previous time, which is particularly manifested in the selection of wings and avant-garde. In the course of hostilities was used known since the early middle ages magical rites designed to influence the weather with magic stone of poison and sorcerers-Adachi.

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the echoes and reflections of the war (1297–1300) between khan Tokhta and his older cousin Nogai in the Christian West. Besides providing the general overview of the conflict, its political background, the course of the military operations and its geographic setting, the text deals with the various European and Christian contemporary sources referring to the internal struggles in the Golden Horde. Although these sources provide only fragmentary notices about the conflict, they offer the possibility to critically assess how the Christian contemporaries looked upon the turbulent events in the Pontic Steppes, and to what extent they were familiar with them.

The failure of Khan Kuchum from the protection of Isker is considered the most important event of Ermak campaign and evidence of the crisis of the Siberian khanate. This event is associated with the lack of water and food supplies in the city, impossibility of a secret retreat, a crucial role of firearms of Cossacks, desertion of Ostyak and Tatar warriors, the hostile attitude of the local population. However, it may be associated with the attitude of Khan as the representative of the nomadic aristocracy to the city only as one of the possible placements of the Khan's throne, and the importance for the continued existence of the state of the nomadic horde.
