Abstract. The article discusses the history of the formation of the countries of the Turkic world, the area of distribution on the Eurasian continent, the Turkic states that declared independence, and a large number of diasporas. The Turks on the Eurasian continent have a very long history of 3000-4000 BC. We must consider this in terms of space and time. At the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, due to radical political, social and socio-economic changes in Eastern Europe, the typology of the socialist system largely lost its character. At the end of 1991, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) ceased to exist as a single geopolitical space and subject of international law as a result of its collapse. Thus, the transformation of its allied republics into independent states structurally reanimated the world geopolitical system that developed after the Second World War. Before the collapse of the USSR, that is, until the 90s of the twentieth century, among the Turkic peoples, only the Republic of Turkey was an independent state. It also provides information on the geographical location of countries, member countries and autonomous regions, as well as issues of cooperation between the Turkic states. Keywords: migration; diaspora; THE USSR; UN; geopolitics; assimilation; typology, community, autonomy, climate, tourism, reporting.
