Most historians studying the evolution of the concept of nation and national idea in East Central Europe, assume that through the nineteenth century the political meaning was gradually giving place to the ethnic understanding of ‘nation’. Without radically questioning this evolution of the meaning, I would like to stress that it is far from obvious. Starting with the Enlightenment, the term and concept of ‘nation’ were used so widely in the Polish public debates that it is relatively easy to find quotations to support any generalisation. Any decision about choosing some source materials and discarding some others is inevitably grounded in certain methodological and philosophical assumptions. Some assumptions have to be accepted (for otherwise, a historian would not be able to say anything), but we need to be conscious that their choice is, in the last resort, arbitrary.

The Author tries to prove that power elites of Central Asia’s belonging mostly to titular nations states are looking for sources of their legitimization and the legitimization of new political organisms. They recover it in ethno-genesis, definition of paradigms ethnic nation or inventing of national tradition. The older history of given nation and his rooting in the region, the stronger are the basis of his internal and international legitimization.

Celem artykułu jest dowiedzenie, że elity władzy państw Azji Centralnej, których większość członków należy do narodów tytularnych, poszukując źródeł swojej legitymizacji, a także rządzonych przez nich nowych organizmów politycznych, odnajdują je poprzez badania etnogenezy, wyznaczenie paradygmatu narodu rdzennego czy konstruowanie tradycji narodowej. Im dłuższa historia danego narodu i im bardziej jest on „zakorzeniony” w regionie, tym mocniejsze podstawy jego legitymizacji wewnątrzpolitycznej i w stosunkach międzynarodowych w regionie.
