Summary: A translation invariant state $\omega$ on $C^*$ -algebra $\clb=\bigotimes\limits_{k \in \IZ}\!M^{(k)}_d$ , where $\!M^{(k)}_d=\!M_d(\IC)$ is the $d$ -dimensional matrices over field of complex numbers, give rises to a stationary quantum Markov chain and associates canonically a unital completely positive normal map $\tau$ on a von Neumann algebra $\clm_0$ with a faithful normal invariant state $\phi_0$ . We give an asymptotic criteria on the Markov map $(\clm_0,\tau,\phi_0)$ for purity of $\omega$ . Such a pure $\omega$ gives only a type I or type III factor $\omega_\mathrm R$ once restricted to one side of the chain $\clb_\mathrm R=\bigotimes\limits_{k \in \IZ_+}\!M^{(k)}$ . In case $\omega_\mathrm R$ is type I, $\omega$ admits Kolmogorov's property.
