Abstract: The research objective is to analyze the information in the “Collection of Chronicles” of the Kasimov author Kadyr Ali-bek about the Golden Horde.
Research materials: The historical work “Jami al-tawarikh” by Kadyr Ali-bek, written by his own hand in 1602 at the capital of the Kasimov Khanate in Kerman (the modern city of Kasimov).
Results and scientific novelty: The article is devoted to analyzing information from the dastans of “Jami al-tawarikh” by Kadyr Ali-bek. It dwells on the history of the source’s introduction into scientific circulation and considers controversial issues behind the creation of such a historical work, expressing an opinion on many controversial points in regard to this source. The information from the dastans related to the history of the Golden Horde is analyzed along with the originality of the information they report, their source, how legendary they are in sources, and what analogies they have in written sources, legends, and oral historiology. The areas where the possible dissemination of this information took place are suggested. The article’s author draws attention to the purposeful selection and selectivity of Kadyr Ali-bek when writing dastans, seeing the reason for their creation in the political conjuncture present in Russia at the very beginning of the 17th century and with the personality of the author of the work.

Keywords: Golden Horde, Kadyr Ali-bek, “Compendium of Chronicles”, Kasimov, historical composition, the beginning of the 17th century
