Description
Summary:Historical studies are based on the assumption that there is a reference-starting point of the space-time continum– the zero point of the coordinate system. Due to the bifurcation in the Zero Point, the course of social processes changes sharply and the probabilistic causality replaces the deterministic one. For this reason changes occur in the structure of social relations and statehood form as well as in the course of the ethnic processes. In such a way emerges a new discourse of national behavior. With regard to the history of the Tatars and Tatarstan, such bifurcation points occurred in the periods of the formation of the Turkic Khaganate, of the Volga–Kama Bulgaria and of the Golden Horde. Despite the radical changes, the Russian Empire failed to transform the Tatars in Russians. Therefore the modern Tatars preserved the Golden Horde tradition as a cultural invariant.
