| description | The “Forty Batyrs” epic cycle began to attract more attention with the collapse of the
Soviet Union. The epics it includes, like its name, have not yet been properly learned in the
scientific world. Although these epics have been the subject of research, it remains unclear
whether the cycle contains forty or fewer epics. The number of epics included in the “Kırk
Batır” epic cycle, which is part of the repertoire of Jırav-narrators, sometimes varies between 26
and sometimes 35. There are three series (or four, according to some legends) within the “Forty Batyrs”
epic cycle. All of the epics in this series cover the period from the formation of the Golden
Horde and the Nogay Horde to their collapse, that is, from the 14th century to the 17th century.
