Abstract

The article discusses the changes in the sacralization of power within the Turkic societies of the early Middle Ages. This problem is directly related to the institute of Hagan and religions that had an impact on power in the nomadic Turkic states. The author analyzes the value of Tengrianism, Manichaeism, Islam and Buddhism in the development of government institutions in the Turkic societies. He also describes the reasons for the changes in the sacralization of power, underlines the value of charisma and emphasizes the importance of the ‘heavenly gift’ cult for the power of Hagan. The author tries to trace the changes in the sacred foundations of the supreme power in the Great Turkic Empire, the States of the Turgeshes and Karluks, Kyrgyz and Uyghur Khaganates. A number of issues related to the transfer of power and its legitimation among nomadic and sedentary population of the Turkic states in the early Middle Ages was also examined. Sacralization of power among the nomadic peoples of the early Middle Ages all the way from the Urals to the Yenisei changed under the influence of axial and other religions. Offensive of the Arabs and Chinese, as well as ethnic and cultural exchanges on the Silk Road played an important role in the sacralization of Hagans’ power, their culture of power and the establishment of world order.
