Abstract
After the defeat of the Khorezm state in the war with the Mongols in 1219–1221, its last ruler, Jalal ad-Din Mankburny tried to gain a foothold in Northern India, but then left the region. The beginnings of his own state within Iran and the South Caucasus is accompanied by active diplomatic activity, in order to, among other things, create the coalition of various states of the Middle East and Asia Minor. Besides fighting Caliph al-Nasir for dominance in the lands of Iraq Persian, Khorezmshah was actively looking for allies to fight the Mongol threat. The author traces the fate of the anti-Mongol coalition, actively forged by Jalal ad-Din Mankburny until his death in 1231. Besides the history of this Alliance and various political leaders of the Middle East and Asia Minor participation in , the author also focuses on the confrontation with the Mongol conquerors and, as the apogee of this struggle, on the battle of Isfahan in 1227. Another important goal of this study is to identify the causes of this coalition’s collapse, the defeat of the Khorezm state after the battle of Yassa-Chamana and the death of Jalal al-Din Mankburny himself. This study is the first research, focusing on this topic in Russian Asian studies.
