Epistolary heritage is of great importance for studying the socio-political, economic or cultural situation of the era in which these people lived. Through them we get to know the lifestyle, style or writing culture of people of different eras. Here we can see their entire realisation of the era and their real psychological portraits. Nowadays, written messages as well as works on psychological documents have attracted a lot of attention from sociologists, historians and representatives of other scientific fields. Mustafa Shokay's letters are a special type of sources characterising the social and political life of the Turkic emigration in Europe. Following the development of the epistolary tradition, we are given the opportunity to follow the personal relationships of the representatives of the Turkic emigration and assess their role in the development of certain socio-political and social relations. Shokai's epistolary heritage is a huge layer of still unexplored sources on the history of Turkic peoples. Scientific works, political publications and letters of Mustafa Shokay are part of the national history, on the basis of which "white spots" in the history of Turkic peoples will be studied, they will help researchers to objectively assess the history of Turkic emigration in Europe. The purpose of this article is to identify and analyse the narrative of the history of the Turkic emigration in the epistolary heritage of Mustafa Shokay.
