Geograficzna sukcesja religii wielkiego stepu
The geographical succession of the religion in the Great Steppe

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article is the spatial evolution of the religion in the Great Steppe and the Central Asia. The research is focused on history of the Silk Road and the Mongol Empire in the 13th century. The interior of Asia was characterized by great religious diversity and tolerance. With the disintegration of the Mongol Empire, traditional religions have been gradually replaced by the universal ones that had emerged outside the studied area: Islam, Tibetan Buddhism and Orthodoxy. There has been a revival of some old religions like Tengrism and Zoroastrianism in states with some nomadic tradition around the former Silk Road, but they are not of much political significance.
