At the time of fall of Gold Orda Ak Orda owned several ulusses. Barakh Khan was one of its heirs to the throne.

In 1416 the land wars raised between the heads of Desht-i-Kipchak and Temir, Ulugbek grandsons. The fight ran over 100 years. In 1422 after victory over his main enemy Mukhammed Khan Barak Khan gradually started to strengthen his power. He won the most part of Desht-i-Kipchak.

In 1423 Barak Khan started to carry on the policy against Maverannarkh. In 1425 he required to return ancient lands of Ak Orda along Syrdariya River. At the beginning of 1427 troops of Ulugbek and Barak Khans started an exterminatory war. Only after the interference of Girat's troops headed by  Shakhrukh Barak Khan had to come back to Desht-i-Kipchak. Sygnak city again became the center of Orys Khan's offspring.

In 1428 Barakh Khan died in the battle against Mogolstan sultans. The same year Desht-i-Kipchak was conquered by Abilkhair Khan.
