Summary/Abstract: Recent studies provide evidence that the southern part of the present Nizhny Novgorod region was included into the Golden Horde. It is proved archaeologically that large Golden Horde settlements existed on these lands (Kurmysh, Murzitsy). The narrative sources mention Saraklych, a Golden Horde town. The written sources trace the appearance of Tatar villages near Arzamas to the Golden Horde baskaks. The influence of Turkic-Muslim culture here was exercised through the processes taking place in the Ulus (province) of Mohshi. As a result of the decentralization in the Golden Horde and the decline of the Ulus of Mohshi, the role played by Mishar Yurt, which formed from the Ulus of Mohshi, became increasingly important since the middle of the 14th century. However, its history has been insufficiently studied.
