Khazaria
(1) The region in which the nomadic Khazars wandered. The boundaries of Khazaria were formed by the western coast of the Caspian Sea as far as the Sulak River in northern Dagestan, by the lower Don River to the point at which it comes closest to the Volga, by the lower course of the Volga, and by part of the Northern Caspian Lowland. (2) The territory controlled by the Khazars. Long after the fall of the Khazar Kaganate in the tenth century the name “Khazaria” continued to be used as a designation for the eastern Crimea.
