Migration of Tribes and Turkology

After leaving the ”Vokrug Sveta" magazine, Adjiev continued his research on the Desht-i Kipchak (Great Steppe, Polovets Steppe) country alone[43]. By putting forward the hypothesis of the Migration of Tribes formed in Altai 2000 years ago, Adjiev examined the estimated migration stages in the context of time and carried the route of this migration to geographical maps. According to Adjiev, I. as a result of migration and the discovery of new lands in the millennium BC, the Desht-i Kipchak country, which includes most of Siberia and modern Russia, was established from Baikal to the Atlantic[41][44]. Adjiev published the results of his research in 1994 in the book "Polin’ Polovetskogo Polya" (The Disappeared Nation. In his book Desht-i Kipchak Civilization), he revealed the genealogy of Kumyks, Karachays, Balkars, Kazakhs of Russia, Kazakhs in Kazakhstan, Tatars, Chuvashs, Yakuts, Gagauzs, Crimean Tatars, some Russians and Ukrainians, explaining that these are peoples who have forgotten their origin, who came from the Turkic (Kipchak) root[45].

According to Adjiev's hypothesis, these peoples are the descendants of those who initiated the Great Migration of Tribes from Altai 2000 years ago, who explored and inhabited the steppe zone of the Eurasian continent over the following centuries. Hence book 3. As stated in the Summary in the edition, the author notes that the history of Russia “officially recognized IX. he considers that it began not in the XII century, but much earlier[46]. In this work, a special attention is paid to Tengricism, the belief of the ancient Turks[47]. His work ”Polin’ Polovetskogo Polya’ was published under the title "Murad Adji". This name became the name of the author after he left the magazine “Vokrug Sveta”. According to Adjiev himself, “I was free as the wind, I took this name, more precisely, I took back the surname ‘Adji’, which our descendants, my grandfather and his grandfather bore. I thought that I had the right to use this surname now, and I started working on the book”[48]. The work ”Polin’ Polovetskogo Polya" was instrumental in Adjiev's recognition[49] and reached nine editions in 2015[50]. The Scientific-Research Laboratory “Translation Problems” within the framework of “Turkology” studies at Baku Slavic University has translated and published the book “Polin’ Polovetskogo Polya” as the best work in the field of Turkic languages, literatures and history. The translator of this work is the famous Turkologist, linguist Professor Tofik Gadjiev[51][52]. This work is being taught as a textbook at the Faculty of Education of Baku Slavic University[53]. Zeynep Bağlan Özer, a professor at Gazi University (today Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli University), translated this work into Turkish in 2001,[54] and in 2019 the book was expanded 2. He translated the edition[55][56].

Adjiev organizes a trip to Dagestan in 1995 in order to research the history of Christianity[57] and search for the tomb of St. George. He describes the results of the trip and the results of research on the estimated burial place of St. George in his articles[58] and in his book “The Secret of St. George, or the Gift of God: From the Spiritual Heritage of the Turks”, published in 1997[59][60]. After Adjiev's Trip[61][62] the tomb of St. George was included in the list of sights of the Republic of Dagestan[63]. ”Encyclopedia for Children“ publishes in 1996 Adjiev's controversial article ”Religion of the Steppe" about Tengricism, the Faith of the Ancient Turks[64]. In this article, it is explained that the peoples of the Great Steppe (Desht-i Kipchak) are not pagans and have the belief in Monotheism, One God (Tengri)[65], while the equal-edged cross is one of the oldest symbols of Tengricism[66]. in 1997, Adjiev published the book “Steppe and Culture. He participated in the International Symposium entitled ”The Great Journey through Time“,[67] presented his paper entitled ”The Contribution of Turks to European Civilization". As stated in the Abstract of the declaration, “The value and role of Turkish culture, its contribution to the development of European civilization are examined”[68].

in 1998, Mukhtar Avezov's 100th birthday. invited to the International Symposium dedicated to the memory of the year, Adjiev participates in the meeting and presents a paper at the opening session[69]. In this statement entitled ”Tengricism and the Foundations of Contemporary European Culture"[70] Adjiev reconsiders his thesis that the Kipchaks, who did not know monotheism, were Pagans. According to him, the inhabitants of Desht-i Kipchak believed in Tengricism, that is, in the Heavenly God, which also formed the basis of Christianity, a monotheistic religion that emerged later[69]. Adjiev's statement attracted the attention of the society's intellectuals and caused a wide response throughout the symposium[69][71].

in 1998, the first edition of the popular scientific work ”European Turks and the Great Steppe“, in which Adjiev continued the topic of the Migration of Large Tribes, was published by the Publishing House ”Misl"[72]. In this work, the contributions of the Great Steppe to European culture are focused on. In the Summary contained in the new edition of this work, which has many editions in 2015, it is stated that “for the first time, the thesis of the Migration of Great Tribes was put forward with this work and developed in subsequent works[73]. It was published in Turkish in Turkey in 2016 under the title “Europe, Turks and the Great Steppe”[74]. According to Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli University Professor Zeynep Bağlan Özer, who translated this work, this book can be seen as the best example of the scientific popular genre tradition, while the Great Tribes Migration thesis allows us to look at world history from a new perspective[75]. The academician notes the importance of Adjiev's conducting his research in the context of historical and economic geography[76]. Adjiev himself emphasizes that his specialty is geography, and he writes his books within the framework of this field of science, to which he devoted his life: “The most difficult task in historical geography is to show the economic basis of the studied region. That is exactly what I am doing.”[2][77].

Adjiev's “Kipchaks," written for students. His popular scientific book ”The Ancient History of the Turks and the Great Steppe" was published in 1999[78]. in 2001, as a continuation of this work, “Kipchaks. Oğuz. He writes the book ”Medieval History of the Turks and the Great Steppe"[79]. In order to revive the tradition of reading books as a family, the author dedicates his books to students and their parents[80][81]. The genre of ”text in which wisdom and science are intertwined" serves this purpose with its fluid and immersive narrative style[82]. in 2001, at the meeting of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan, which he attended at the invitation of the Marjani Institute of History, Adjiev said: “Kipchaks. His book ”The Sons" was introduced to the academy circles of Tatarstan in Kazan[83]. “Kipchaks. His work ”The Ancient History of the Turks and the Great Steppe" was published in Turkish in Turkey in 2002[84]. after the Altay trip in 2001[85], Adjiev begins working on his new book. After three years of continuous work, his popular scientific book “Tyurki i Mir: Sokrovennaya Istoriya” (Hidden History of the Turks) was published[86]. In this study, the author reveals the foundations of the thesis of the Migration of Tribes formed in Altai in a more comprehensive way. As stated in the Summary of the book, special attention was paid to the Monotheistic traditions of the Great Steppe in this study[86].

in 2019, the work ”Tyurki i Mir: Sokrovennaya Istoriya" (Hidden History of the Turks) was published in Turkey in Turkish language[87]. Adjiev presented some of the theses contained in this book in 2004[88] at the First International scientific conference on “Comparative Literary Science”[89]. Adjiev, in his paper ”Indo-European and Comparative Literary Science", M.He. He described the Great Migration of Tribes that shaped modern culture, starting from Altai, and the contribution of Turkish culture to the development of Russia and Europe[90]. The author's very heated and controversial arguments attracted the intense attention of the conference participants[88]. In 2005, Adjiev participated in a trip organized by Nakhchivan State University to study rock paintings on Mount Gamigay in Nakhchivan[91]. According to Adjiev, these paintings are connected with one of the stages of the Great Migration of Tribes[92]. After this trip, by the decision of the government, Noah's Mausoleum was rebuilt instead of this ancient monument of world history[92]. The researches carried out attracted great attention of the administration of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the public opinion[93].

After his trip to the Caucasus[91][94] and participation in the international scientific conference on the “Ethnocultural Heritage of Caucasian Albania”[95] Adjiev's popular scientific book “Dihaniye Armageddona” (Breath of Armageddon) was published by the publishing house ‘AST’ in 2006. In the work XVI. the history of the Caucasian wars, which began in the XIX century and have not ended until today, is described[96]. In this work, the author describes, in particular, the history of Caucasian Albania, a state that the modern reader is almost not familiar with. Adjiev's interest in this subject dates back to his ethnographic research conducted in the Caucasus in 1989-1991[22][37][97] and he tries to reveal the problems of the Caucasus with his articles written on the basis of real facts[22]. Adjiev's popular scientific book ”Aziatskaya Yevropa" (Asian Europe) was also published in 2006[98]. Two of his works are included in this book: “Europe. The Turks and the Great Steppe”,[72], "The Hidden History of the Turks"[86]. As stated in the summary of the book, the history of the Great Steppe, which forms the basis of Russia and other European countries, is of interest because it is told by “a geographer whose worldview and view of history are more different’[98]. in 2007, as a project of the Russian Ministry of Culture, a film called “The Breath of Armageddon” was shot based on Adjiev's research under the slogan “National History and National Thought”[99]. The first screening of the film was held at Baku State University and was performed in front of a large audience, most of which were historians and geographers[100].
