This is not a reproach, I understand that the data is taken from a certain source, but usually the city on the site of the current village of Tsarev is called Sarai-Berke, or New Sarai. And the city in the Astrakhan region is most often called Sarai-Batu, and less often Sarai-Berke. Do not think that I understand this topic or try to show off my knowledge, I was just a little surprised when I saw the name Sarai-Berke and Gulistan.
It's just that there are "ruins" of a Sarai-Batu in the Astrakhan oblast. In fact, these are the sets for the film, which are quite far from the supposed Sarai Batu, but people liked it and it became another attraction of the region. Therefore, the theme of Golden Horde (90% of the locals know it only by this name), having added tourists to the region, quickly became very very close to the locals, especially for the large Muslim minority (I am among them).
As far as I'm aware, the location of Old Sarai is disputed and not actually known. It's been said however that New Sarai (Selitrennoye settlement) is built over Old Sarai.
Identification of the Tsarevskoye settlement as Gulistan is a newer development, though the general consensus on settlements in the region remain a complicated matter.
Wow, is that even so? How interesting everything is turning out. Do not think that I am trying to dispute, on the contrary, I am glad to see an explanation from you, especially from the creator!
No problem! I think a clarification for things like these are in order, especially considering the confusing nature of these settlements.
I try to not mispresent anything in these quizzes for the sake of quality and actually prefer if people informed me in the case I potentially made a mistake, so thank you.
