Abstract
In the article, based on Chinese data, the heroic campaigns of Kutlug Elterish-Khagan, the founder of the Second Eastern Turkic Khaganate, are described, on the way to the foundation of the khanate. On the basis of the ancient Turkic monuments, the content is discussed, which is clearly indicated and absent in the Chinese data. In 682 a direct descendant of the founding dynasty of the historical First Turkic Khanate Kutlik and a descendant of another tribeof Kok Tьrks, Tonyukuk, restored the Kok Tьrks empire, that was destroyed half a century ago. Some information about the creation of The Second Turkic Khaganate and its founders was preserved in the runic inscriptions of the monuments "Kultegin", "Tonyukuk", and "Bilge Kagan". Readers of our country are familiar with these details. However a rich set of data about The Second Turkic Khaganate and its history has been comprehensively preserved in the Chinese sources. Howeverthe relevant information in this material collection is known only to individual specialists, and is not so familiar to a wide range of readers. The article is intended to satisfy such a demand of our country's readers. The article was limited to presenting the most important data from Chinese sources.
