Notes

In 240-241 / 855, Kara Bulgar lost his first Islamic leader, Khan Aidar. The incident of Khan Aidar's death has shifted the power of the Kara Bulgar government to his son cAbd Allah Djilki who is a Muslim. However, the process of transition power of government to Djilki does not occur easily. Djilki has been opposed by his brother Lachyn who is still holding on with the ancient belief of Bulghar, Tengrism. The difference in ideology between these two brothers has sparked more opposition between the two. Djilki has received the support of the Bulgarian Muslim society comprising the Baryn tribe of the Saban tribe. While Lachyn gets the continuous support from the Bulgar Tengrism society. The power struggle which initially was more of a civil war had changed into racial disputes between Mus- lim groups and the Tengrianis group. Furthermore, this racial dis- pute was further fueled by the presence of a third party Khakan Yskhak. The great battle between Kara Bulgar and Khazar has taken place near the city of Baltavar. With the support of the Bulgar- Tengrianis rebel group led by Lachyn, the Khakan Yskhak defeat- ed the Djilki army. This defeat has affected the relationship be- tween the two old Russian governments ie; first; Khakan Khazar has taken over the two areas of Kara Bulgar's shade of Kiev (Bashtu) and Novgorod (Urus) following the victory. These two areas were later combined by the Khazar government to form a new branch of the Khazar government territory known as 'Kievan Rus' or 'Old Russian State'. Khakan Yskhak has appointed a Norman with the title Dir as the first ruler of Kievan Rus. The Kievan Rus region covers the area on the right bank, the middle of the Dnieper River.
