In addition, the article analyzes the interrelation between court practices, political traditions, and mechanisms of state governance, as well as their role in ensuring the stability of the khanate’s political system. On the example of the Khanate of Khiva, traditional forms of power legitimization, the ideological content of political rituals, and their influence on public consciousness are revealed based on historical sources.
