Historians have different opinions about the personality of Shaybani Khan, who occupies an important place in the history of Uzbek statehood. Some historians recognize him as a true leader, a ruler who made a huge contribution to the development of the state, while others are the opposite. There are also those who see him as a conqueror, a foreigner who captured Transoxiana at the cost of the blood of several Timurids.

In the next issue of "Ancient History", we will look for an answer to this question.
