Abstract

The article presents a historiographic analysis of research works dedicated to the study of the complex of long-range weapons of the Golden Horde warrior. Various studies of the middle of the XIX – the first quarter of the XXI century were considered. During the study, classification schemes of various elements of Golden Horde long-range weapons put forward by the authors were analyzed; features inherent in research works in certain historical periods were highlighted. Based on the analysis of these works, three chronological stages in the history of the study of long-range weapons of the Golden Horde were identified. For each stage distinctive features were shown. Actual problematic aspects of the study of Golden Horde long-range weapons were also identified; they are requiring further study in the future.
