The year 2019 was marked by the 750th anniversary of the Golden Horde in the scho­larly and research environment of medievalists. A number of academic events were organized in honor of this historic event: a series of academic conferences, round tables, scholarly and educational lectures, art exhibitions, publications of monographs, publications of translations, facsimiles and transliterations of an extensive range of historical sources on the history of the Golden Horde. The bulk of this output was, for the first time, introduced into scholarly circulation. Among these events, it is worth noting the Sixth International Golden Horde Forum with the participation of international experts on the history of the Golden Horde was held on 26–28 June 2019. Two other significant events held at the end of 2019 were also dedicated to the history of the Golden Horde: the roundtable “Civilization of the Golden Horde and Its Influence on the Fate of the Peoples of Eurasia,” held as part of the First International St. Petersburg Historical Forum (1 November 2019, St. Petersburg, Russia), and the International Academic Symposium “Golden Horde and Its Heritage” (25–26 November 2019, Istanbul, Turkey). It is worth noting that both final events were held in the aforementioned cities for the first time this century. The scholarly and research communities of these two large academic centers of the world welcomed these events with great enthusiasm, actively supported them with their own participation, and viewed the results with considerable interest. Thanks to this, the organizers of these events managed to conduct them in as balanced a manner as possible and, at the same time, presented new developments and ideas, including currently relevant and advanced research results on the history of the Golden Horde.
