metadata.value: The article studies genealogical data reported in Dastār-nāma (The Book about Turban) and Tārīkh-i
  muraṣṣa‘ (An Ornamented History) by the Pashtun tribal chiefs Khūshḥāl Khān Khaṯak (d. 1689) and
  Afżal Khān Khaṯak (d. circa 1740/41). The main tasks of the study are to distinguish between written
  and oral (folklore) sources of the Afghan genealogical tradition recorded in the early Pashto literary
  works, to determine functionality and ideological motifs of genealogical texts, to characterize gender
  aspect in patrilineal relationships, and to arrange and analyze new material pertaining to the research
  of ethnic and confessional issues of Pashtun history, such as the historical chronology of formation of
  particular tribal groups and Pashtun ethnicity as a whole, supposed traces of ethnical assimilations,
  the stages in the process of Islamization (on the basis of personal names statistics, first of all, and with
  regard to the existence of parallel “religious” lineages). The study supports the idea that towards the
  foundation of the first Afghan state in the middle of the XVIII century Pashtun tribes firmly perceived
  themselves as one people with common cultural heritage, and ethnic self-identification was a key element
  in their collective as well as individual consciousness. Quoted fragments from original Pashto
  sources discussed in the article are translated into Russian for the first time. Refs. 15.
