In 1867, after the accession of the Turkestan region to the Russian Empire, along with the trend of socio-economic development of the region, the way was opened to the process of its entry into the world scientific integration. Modern cultural and educational institutions have appeared in the cities of the region. Museums were organized in Tashkent and Ashgabat. Medieval historical manuscripts were concentrated in museums. The history, culture and geography of Turkestan aroused the interest of Russian researchers. The local tsarist administration in every possible way demonstrated its material and financial support for the research work of scientists. V.V. Bartolds scientific trips carried out during this period put an end to a number of myths and distortions about the history and culture of Turkestan. The scientist demonstrated not only a high command of Oriental languages, but also an outstanding example of close work with representatives of the local intelligentsia. V. V. Bartold is known for his historical and geographical research concerning any corner of the Turkestan Governor-General, which occupies a large territory. The history of the city of Merv in the far west of Turkestan and the Semirechye region in the northeast has not gone unnoticed. The theoretical provisions laid down by V. Bartold constitute a fundamental tool for studying the history of the Turkic peoples. Of great importance in the problematic context are the orientalists expressed scientific views on the formation and prosperity of the Mongol Empire. V. Bartold conducted a comparative analysis of the modern nature of geographical names and locations reflected in ancient Greek and Arabic sources. He also explained the reasons for the deviation of geographical points in ancient manuscripts. Summing up the general results, we will make sure of the high contribution of Academician V.V. Bartold to the formation and development of Russian Oriental studies. Copyright
