Summary/Abstract: The finds (burials and commemorative places) of the post-Hunnic nomads in the steppes of Eastern Europe are examined, which testify to the Central Asian influence on the “chieftain”/“princely” culture of the steppe population of the middle 5th — mid 6th centuries. This is a set of horse equipment, weapons, women’s jewelry. It is likely that their appearance in the western part of the Eurasian belt of the steppes is associated with the movements of nomadic peoples — Onogurs, Saragurs, Urogs, Savirs. At the same time, when it comes to borrowing in the “chieftain” culture, the usual diffusion of the prestigious “princely” fashion, reflecting the military-political and cultural orientation of the ruling elites and not directly related to migration, is very possible.
