"The picture provides a fresh view on personal evolution of an outstanding leader of Eurasia. Character of Genghis Khan is regarded as a figure having promoted principles of orderly arrangement of the universe and objective reality. The film interprets artistically, philosophically, and psychologically, the main principles of Tengriism via intensity of the part played in the history by an individual, preconditioned by destiny, traditions, and chance."

"Appealing to the ancient cult of nature as the origin of Tengriism in the nations of Central Asia, filmmakers tackle the issue of eco-friendly attitude and environmental awareness."

"The facts of religious toleration inherent for Tengriism and function of a consolidator performed by historical Genghis Khan are quite unique and positively didactic. These facts deserve attention and further forwarding via mass culture in today's society of consumption, as it is a phenomenon pertaining to the realm of values, respect for divergent cultures, religions and beliefs."
Alexei Pudov,
Associate Professor, Candidate of Philosophy (Russia)
"The fundamental distinctive feature of Yakutian Genghis Khan is, probably, that he practices Tengriism - Yakut neo-paganism, with the key figure being Tengri, the god of sky."
