THE PHENOMENON OF THE HISTORICAL-GEOGRAPHICAL CONTINUITY OF NOMADIC EMPIRES IN EURASIAN STEPPES

Abstract
The article summarizes large volume of historical and geographical data on the influence of nomadic peoples on the landscapes of northern Eurasian steppe during the pre-agricultural phase, i.e. prior to the 18–19th centuries. It was concluded that landscapes of the steppe belt represented natural-anthropogenic complexes resulting from cultural transformation of the area by nomadic peoples. The article addresses the key issues facing a new field of study called steppe science.
