Phenomenon of Development of Cumanology in Bulgaria in the 20st – Beginning of the 21st centuries

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the specifics of the development of Bulgarian cumanology. In the course of historiographical analysis of special literature the following features of the development were revealed: the connection of cumanological research with the development of research on the medieval history and culture of Bulgaria; the study of the history of the development of the Kipchak problem in foreign and Bulgarian historical science; attention to the Kuman anthroponymy and the determination of the degree of influence of the Kipchak language on the language of the Bulgarian people; a special tolerant attitude to the nomadic history and culture. Along with this, new studies are appearing on the history of the Mongol conquest of European states and the role of the Cumans in this historical process. These scientific studies make it possible to significantly complete the historical picture of the stay of the Kipchak tribes in the West and to define the phenomenon of the Kipchak factor in the world history.
