In the 19th century, the formation of academic science in the Russian Empire was completed and sustainable development began. In this direction, history and other humanities began to be considered from a deep scientific point of view. The special attention was paid to oriental studies. The history of the Golden Horde, considered one of the largest states in the history of Eurasia, aroused the same interest among both Orientalists and those who studied the history of Europe. Russian chronicles play an important role in the study of the history of the Golden Horde. With the help of chronicles, we gain access to extensive data on the political and administrative structure, military management system, and trade services of the Golden Horde. Although the study of the history of the Golden Horde through the Russian chronicles began in the 18th century, it could not become a fundamental scientific problem. Thanks to the works of Russian researchers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the historiography of the history of the Golden Horde was formed. Russian historians began publishing publications that collected sources on the history of the Golden Horde and conducted a scientific analysis on them. We see that the academic environment of the Russian Empire reflected the view of the history of the Golden Horde as a political and cultural system striving to unite East and West. In addition, one of the features of historiography that developed during this period went beyond certain ideological principles. This article provides a scientific analysis of the role of historians of the Russian Empire in the formation and development of historiography of the history of the Golden Horde. An assessment of the continuity of this historiography with modern research is also given.
