They are said to be inter-related with the Scythian nomads that romaed from Eastern Europe, Central Asia, South/Central Asia, and as far as Siberia.

You should look up the word Kagan which is the king of the Kazzars/Khazars which became the Cossacks and the Ashkenazi (The Khazars converted en masse to Judaism in around the 9th century to avoid being taken over by either the Christians or Muslims).  The Kagan was the name of the king and these people were also well known for their blood-thirsty cruelty.  The Khazar empire was the largest empire on earth after the Roman empire but there is little in school books about it.  It was located at the steppes of Russia.  After the Mongols invaded they pushed them west into Poland, Russia and the Germanic areas.
