UBASHI-KHAN'S ERROR
The article analyzes the reasons of the last transcontinental migration of the Eurasian nomads, which was made by the Volga torghutswhen they returned from Eastern Europe to Central Asia in 1771. The author believes that it was torghuts‘s intention to save their sovereign distinctive world from damaging effects of Russian civilization that surpassed their level of development, had different nature and therefore was thought to be a dangerous threat to them. This attempt to save the traditional nomadic world was doomed to failure, because its era has ended with feudalism, and there was no space for an independent development of nomadic societies in Eurasia. Having left Russia the torghuts had to obey China. Their exodus to their historic homeland drew a symbolic line under the history of the MiddleAges. Compared to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 which put an end to the history of the ancient world«torghuts's exodus» of 1771may be considered an outstanding event in world history.
