The article discusses little-known aspects of the life and work of the greatest politician and military leader of the second millennium-Genghis Khan. His deeds were so large scale and significant that many people endowed his personality with supernatural features. For some of them he is a "winged messenger", for others - a "scourge of God." Many researchers and scientists have noted the antagonism of contradiction between the capabilities of the steppe leaders and the level of knowledge and skills necessary to create a stable super empire. The name of Genghis Khan became sacred in the Turkic-Mongolian cultural sphere and widely known in the rest of the world. However, there are some facts that portray the legendary leader quite real. Compared the sources of different countries that describe the initial stage of the Genghis Khan’s activity, we have revealed that he gained knowledge and experience in public administration while living in China (the Jin Empire). This circumstance is able to explain his competence in the sphere of state administration that is unexpected for a “common steppe-dweller”.
这篇文章讨论了第二个千年来最伟大的政治家和军事领袖成吉思汗生活和工作中鲜为人知的方面。他的事迹如此之大，意义重大，以至于许多人赋予他的人格超自然的特征。对他们中的一些人来说，他是一个“天的信使”，对另一些人来说，他是“上帝的祸害”。许多研究人员和科学家注意到，草原领袖的能力与建立一个稳定的超级帝国所需的知识和技能水平之间存在矛盾。成吉思汗的名字在突厥-蒙古文化领域变得神圣，并在世界上广为人知。然而，有一些事实把这位传奇领袖刻画得相当真实。比较不同国家描述成吉思汗活动初期的资料来源，我们发现他在中国生活期间获得了公共行政方面的知识和经验。这种情况可以解释他在国家行政管理领域的能力，这对于一个“普通草原居民”来说是出乎意料的。
