Timeline edit

I feel that the subsection Decline of the Golden Horde in the History section doesn't really belong to this article. But more important than that is the apparent contradiction in the timeline.

  • 1452 Beginning of Russian rule over Turkic Muslims.
  • 1480 Approximate start of Russian independence from Tatars.

If Russia started to gain independence from Tatars in 1480, how could she began to rule Turkic Muslims in a earlier date ? Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 14:40, 27 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • 1. Decline of the Golden Horde is needed to explain the rise of the Nogais and introduce the nearby powers. It could be moved somewhere else if the related articles were reorganized.
  • 2. The Horde claimed sovereignty over Russia, or at least collected tribute from it. Qasim Khan was a man from the Horde or Kazan who made himself a subject of Moscow. So the Horde was over Moscow and Moscow was over the Kasimov KhanateBenjamin Trovato (talk) 22:13, 28 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Kazakh affinity edit

The affinity between Nogais and Kazakh deserves attention. There is literature, I think in a form of a monograph, in Russian, that describes and analyses their affinity. When in trouble, Nogais were returning back to Kazakhstan, there was always connection and in and out flows. Barefact (talk) 09:04, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

All of the steppe peoples had a similar way of life and bands would often move from one group to another, voluntarily or involuntarily. The same group of people would acquire a different name when they were taken over by a different ruling clan. Names like Nogai and Xiongnu usually represent politically organized groups and are not necessarily distinct ethnic groups. Everything I have seen treats the Nogais and Kazakhs as different groups, at least for political purposes. Benjamin Trovato (talk) 22:53, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
This reminds me a famous citation of WWII, that all Japs look the same. As we know now they are not. Neither do the Europeans look alike, in spite of what the Japanese thought before. Similar way of pastoral economy does not make them all alike, there are mighty differences between clans, tribes, territorial divisions, etc. Steppe peoples also spoke different languages, and all kinds of dialectal variations. They could distinguish who was a kin and who was not. You are right that Nogai was a politonym, but ethnically it was a conglomerate of extracts from different tribes, like any state that you know of, and apparently a largest component was Kazakh, and that political association never broke an umbilical cord with their Kazakh origin. The [1] talks about it a little, D.Sinor, 1996, discusses the connections [2], one of the monographs is here [[3]]. Xiongnu is a Chinese derisive rendering for the Huns adopted in the 2nd c. BC in unification of the Chinese language by the Han empire, it is neither politonym nor endonym. "Hun" is Turkic for "kin", i.e. it is a super-ethnonym, like Latinos in Americas. Politically, the Kazakh Khanate and the Nogai Horde were different entities, you are right, but so are South and North Korea and many others. Hopefully, someone will address the subject of Nogai and Kazakh affinity. Barefact (talk) 06:25, 7 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

removed edit

All this was removed from the main article. Adding to the raid-list in Russo-Crimean Wars is good, but: 1. It belongs in Russo-Crimean Wars or perhaps a new and better article. Mixing in a long list of raids makes political history hard to follow. The date-list format of this article probably should be converted to prose in any case. 2. [citation needed] for all of it. No way to verify. 3. In some places English has mistakes or is unorthodox or meaningless.Benjamin Trovato (talk) 03:41, 30 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

The wiki contains too little info of extend of Nogai horde so I tried adding some, I didn't even edit half of it. Maybe I'll try to make the list look a little better, okay? My sources are all from the Russian wikipedia btw, they know history of the Nogai horde far better than European historian since the Nogai Horde had a history of fighting and raiding Russia hundreds of years.

Good. I had not seen that one. Maybe we should translate the whole thing to English as a new article and delete the list in Russo-Crimean Wars. I think that I am right that the raid-list should be separate from the Nogai history article.

Nogai slavery and raids edit

I dont think this long list of raids and number of prisoners and the emphasize on slave trade by Nogai is not written here because to give information> It is written in a non neutral POV manner, it probably wants to convince the reader that the Nogai Horde and people were evil slave traders and thats why they deserved to be destroyed and colonised by the Russians and Kalmyks.

If we want to balance the historical reality, then it must be written that slavery and raiding was common in a very large part of the world especially in the Eastern Europe/ steppe region, the Nogais themselves were so much raideds and attacked by Russian slavic Cossacks and Mongol Kalmyk that they actually lost their own lands allmost all of them were killed, became prisoners and assimilated or became refugees to the Ottoman empire. The Nogai lands are now part of Russia and they themselves are destroyed nation. In the number of casualties they also suffered much more than they did to others. What was for centuries Nogai lands is now populated by Russian and Kalmyk settlers.

So we have to add that Russia did much more damage to its nomadic Turkic neighbours than vice versa, all of their lands are now part of Russia and the people are ethnically cleansed in most areas.

We do not need in the article justifications for the destruction of these people by using their slave trade as argument, this is now added by many (probably POV) users on all these Nomadic Turkic peoples articles.

We should not forget that Russia itself was the biggest slave owning country and a huge slave system, before 1860 almost the entire Russian peasant population tens of million people were poor serfs half slaves of their masters. Many of them before 1800 were actually slaves.

In number of destruction, killing massacre, slavery, no nomadic people can equal the Russian state.DragonTiger23 (talk) 15:21, 22 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
