The article is devoted to the analysis of the actual problem of the successor of the Golden Horde. The authors emphasize the importance of learning linguistic facts, and not just historical information. Throughout the history of our ancestors, the formation of a people is primarily reflected in its language. The authors propose the concept that the history of a nation is preserved in its language. The written monuments of the era of the Golden Horde are directly related to the modern Kazakh language. In conclusion, the authors conclude that the Kazakhs are the successors of the Golden Horde and the ancient Kipchaks. The Kazakh history of the XV-XVII centuries took place in conditions of mutual confrontation of tribal interests and national interests. This historical period, in which relations between countries consisted of relentless hostility and feudal conflicts, led to the life of ordinary individuals who acted purposefully and consciously, directly understanding the importance of national interests. These personalities, who were born as a result of the nation's self-identification, understanding of their interests in relations with other ethnic groups as their own, actively contributed to the acceleration of National coagulation, the maturation of national values. In the XVII century, the Kazakh population embarked on the path of quantitative and qualitative growth, which developed into the formation of national consciousness, and this was a compact picture of spiritual and intellectual development, the construction of a state structure.
