political situation in Kegen-Narynkol during the
existence of the Kazakh Khanate under the rule of Yesim
and Zhangir, as well as the general history of the
Kazakh and Kyrgyz peoples, is investigated. The article uses information from
written sources, as well as historical legends, pedigrees preserved by the
