Abstract. The article is devoted to historical songs in the folklore of the Karachay-Balkar abroad; it provides a detailed analysis of the cycle of historical songs related to Muhajirism - "Stambulchulany zhyrlary" ("Songs of the Gone to Istanbul").

Information representing this genre of the Karachay-Balkar folklore is taken from the foreign and Russian sources. It is stated that the themes of the lost homeland, longing for the Caucasus and reconciliation with the new country are the most important in the "Songs ...".
