The Red Kaganate is an international, inter-club* association of Reenactors * whose collective goal is to recreate the environment and atmosphere of the epic history of the Turco-Mongol world.
Wave after wave, the Nomads of Asia rode Westwards into Central Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and Eastwards into India and China. Their cultural influence, and at times their Empires covered most of the Medieval World.
These Nomad tribes, led by their Khans, came together under the leadership of a "Great Khan" -- Kha-Khan or Kagan. The Empires that were thus formed -- polyglot confederacies of Iranian, Uighur, Turkic, and Tatar-Mongol tribes -- were called Kaganates.
The Red Kaganate is intended to present such an Empirial Federation, as reflected in the cultural record left by the historical Kaganates and smaller tribal confederacies.
See Structure of the Red Kaganate for information about the Association - meet some of our members and read our governing documents.
Logo Gifs in English and in Russian. Both just about 2K.

A date that will live in Infamy (to coin a phrase)!
The Twin Towers in New York were destroyed today and the Pentagon damaged, with somewhere near five thousand lives lost in a terrorist attack of unpresedented magnitude.
... I don't know what else to say

NOTES:
Inter-Club Association -
The Red Kaganate Web Site is intended as a Resource for all individuals interested in East European and Central and West Asian Medieval History (with a focus towards practical reenactment of the same).
The Red Kaganate Association functions as a sub-group within those Reenactment clubs that permit this (as, for example, a Household in the SCA), its members united in the shared interests espoused by "The Red Kaganate" and following the rules and goals of "The Red Kaganate".
The Red Kaganate Association finally functions as an independent Reenactment club, holding its own events according to its own rules and regulations.
See Structure of the Red Kaganate for further information.
Historical Reenactment, Historical Recreation, Living History -
Attempts have been made in the past to distinguish these three terms as applicable to groups with varying styles of achieving a modern, play acted, version of an earlier historical time, place, and event.
Personally, I am unconvinced that there are inherent differences in description that are communicated by one term over another. I will, therefore, use the three terms interchangeably.
