This is the abridged Russian translation of the main work of Gaziz Gubajdullin, who graduated Kazan University summa cum laude and for the first time among Tatars became professor of his Alma Mater. Moreover, it is astonishing that only 500 copies of this book were printed. Everyone would like to know why such a unbelievable phenomenon could occur. Searching for the reason it has come out, that he was brutally tortured and shot to death on charges of Pan-Turkism. Coincidentally, only 1000 copies were printed of the famed Outline of the History of Kazan Khanate published in 1923 in Kazan by Khudjakov, who, like Gaziz, was arrested by the hand of secret police, tortured cruelly, and shot to death as“an enemy of people”. The aim of this paper is only to know the background of the age through which they had to live. Keywords Gaziz Gubajdullin, Khudjakov, Tatar historian, being shot to death. 1.

This emphatic provision in the republic’s constitution has less to do with the nature of Tatar national feeling, than with the fact that the common mother tongue of the Tatar nation scattered throughout Russia and the rest of the world is fundamental to its national unity and is its main hope for the future as a nation and people. The history of the Tatar language and its development is also one of the best kept secrets of Russian inter-ethnic history. Belonging to the Turco-Altaic family of languages, Tatar originated thousands of years ago, but only became known to the world with the rise of Turkic ethnicities during the period of the Arab caliphate (eighth to the tenth centuries) and subsequently during the time of the famous Golden Horde (thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries), when it effectively became the language of choice of the entire region of Eurasia, on a par with the Arabic and Persian languages.

  • Classification of Non-Poured Ceramics from Kazan Kremlin
    European Research Studies Journal Volume XX, Special Issue, 2017 pp. 394-401 Classification of Non-Poured Ceramics from Kazan Kremlin Ayrat Sitdikov1, Ainaz I. Khaziev2 Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the most massive material during archaeological excavations - non-pouring ceramics obtained after the excavations in the Kazan Kremlin in 1994-1996. The paper gives a brief analysis of the main historical and cultural groups of non-poured ceramics, which were identified by T.A. Khlebnikova. The main approaches on the study the non-pouring ceramics of this monument are presented. The researcher singled out 6 historical and cultural groups of the Kazan Kremlin pottery. With the typology and the classification of ceramic material, it considered the technique of production, the composition of mixture, color, the quality of firing and surface treatment. All the selected groups of ceramics are characteristic of individual layers for the cultural strata of the Kazan Kremlin. T.A. Khlebnikova conducted the systematic and statistical analysis of the entire material. In the archaeological research of the Kazan Kremlin, non-poured ceramics were not subjected to more detailed study and analysis. The attempts to classify non-pourable ceramics were made in the works by N.F. Kalinin, as well as in the generalizing works by A.Kh. Khalikov and L.S. Shavokhin. The works by T.A. Khlebnikova on the processing of the Kazan Kremlin ceramics in 1994- 1996 are the first ones when this most massive archaeological source has undergone quite complete processing according to the requirements of the time, and to this day the typology created by it is used by researchers.

    GOLDEN HORDE REVIEW. 4. 2015 107 , 930.2 RUSSIAN CHRONICLES ON THE MOSCOW-KAZAN RELATIONS: EXPERIENCE OF THE HERMENEUTIC RESEARCH * A.V. Aksanov (Sh. Marjani Institute of History, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan) This paper analyzes the problem of interpretation of the chronicle reports about the Moscow-Kazan relations and identifies the semantics of these reports by using the hermeneutic analysis of texts. The author cites the examples of the sources’ misunderstanding. Researchers treated literally reports about the Kazan khanate foundation, which in fact were based on the reminiscences from biblical books and needed an allegorical interpretation. Scholars made similar mistakes in their interpretation of some of the reports about the Kazan campaign in 1467, 1487, 1506, and 1552. In turn, the use of hermeneutic methods allows us to sig- nificantly supplement and even revise the picture of the Moscow-Kazan relations presented in the historians’ works. This paper demonstrates some features of the evolution of Russian chronicle writing that affected the nature of the representa- tion of interstate relations. Period of the last third of the 15 th century is described both by official and independent (provincial) chronicle vaults. In this, these sources describe the events in different ways. Official chronicles represented the Moscow-Kazan war of 1467–1469 as a religious confrontation ended with Rus- sian victory, while independent sources described this war without religious con- notations and pointed to the defeat of Moscow forces. The author also revealed significant differences in the description of the events in 1478 and 1487. In such a way, independent sources refute a number of official reports about the Moscow- Kazan relations in the last third of the 15 th century.

  • Specific Features of Music Education in Soviet Russia in 1918 to 1922 (In Terms of Social and Cultural Environment in Kazan)
    The Turkish Online Journal of Design, Art and Communication - TOJDAC November 2016 Special Edition SPECIFIC FEATURES OF MUSIC EDUCATION IN SOVIET RUSSIA IN 1918 TO 1922 (IN TERMS OF SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT IN KAZAN) Yulia Aleksandrovna Martynova Kazan, ul. Tatarstan, 2, 420008, Russian Federation [email protected] Dmitry Evgenyevich Martynov Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Russia, 420008, Kazan, ul. Tatarstan ABSTRACT The article is dedicated to a complex and multi-faceted process of music education reforms in the early years of the Soviet power in Russia. Though decrees on nationalization of the cultural property and centralization of spiritual life in the country were passed in 1917, creation of a new system of education and control was started in 1918 with establishment of the People’s Commissariat for Education. There had been no such authorities in Kazan government until 1919, and for the first two years, the system was highly independent. The article uses methods of the individual history including a biographical method, which allows creating a collective biography of the holistic institution in the social and cultural environment. The article describes a history of creation of the Oriental Conservatory in Kazan from the first projects represented in the late 1918 to attempts of its implementation. The Oriental Conservatory combined features of public educational institutions and a practice-oriented research university. It was a project of integration of the traditional culture of people in the Volga region and the Urals and its development in line with the academic system. Entry quotas were provided for native peoples of the Volga region as well as a dropout system for underachieving students.

    European Journal of Science and Theology, August 2020, Vol.16, No.4, 27-41 _______________________________________________________________________ RELIGIOUS AND SECULAR ASPECTS IN THE HISTORY OF TATAR NATIONAL EDUCATION FROM 8th TO EARLY 20th CENTURY Alfinur Azatovna Galiakberova*, Azat Gabdulkhacovich Mukhametshin and Norair Martinovich Asratyan Naberezhnye Chelny State Pedagogical University, Nizametdinov str. 28, Naberezhnye Chelny city, 423806, Russian Federation (Received 19 September 2019, revised 1 April 2020) Abstract The article studies the genesis of national Tatar pedagogy and educational process beginning from the Bulgarian period (8th century). It was the time when the Tatar ethnic group originated. The article deals with the main aspects of Tatars‟ religious and secular pedagogical culture up to the early 20th century. The work illustrates that pedagogical ideas and practical experience of the most outstanding representatives of the Tatar pedagogy demonstrate a complicated combination and not infrequently a conflict of religious and secular tendencies. This acute dualism in the history of Tatar pedagogy is a reflection of the dramatic character of the national history of the Tatars, the influence of external geopolitical processes and internal ethno-cultural transformations. The Tatar public education has evolved and acquired its own special features at each historical period: Volga Bulgaria (8th - 13th centuries), the Golden Horde (13th - the middle of the 15th centuries), the Kazan Khanate (the middle of the 15th - the middle of the 16th centuries) and as a part of the Russian Empire (the middle of the 16th - beginning of 20th centuries). The investigation showed that despite the variety of conditions, changes in the course of history, vicissitudes of life, huge internal and external contradictions, tragic losses or significant gains of the Tatar people there had been preserved a successive development of national education.

  • Transforming a National Monument Into a Symbol of Local Identity In
    Claiming the Pamiatnik: Transforming a National Monument Into a Symbol of Local Identity in 1830’s Kazan Eric Johnson Since the fall of the Soviet Union, historians of Russia have increasingly scrutinized the late Imperial period for signs of „civil society,‟ or its absence—searching for traces of the kinds of middle-class identities and institutions that might, under the right circumstances, have acted as a effective counterweight to autocrats and revolutionaries. Kassow, West and Clowes have charted some of the key dimensions of this search. They emphasize the important role urbanization had to play in the emergence of civil society, writing that “[c]ity spaces… provided the essential setting for creating a new social sensibility.” They locate the search for civil society in the years after the Great Reforms, noting that “until the mid-nineteenth century, Russian social identity had been largely defined by [the] traditional categories” of estates, or soslovie. And they emphasize the fact that civil society has traditionally been defined in institutional terms, as connoting a “critical mass of… [private social] structures that establish intermediate identities between the family and the state.”1 But the story of the Kazan Pamiatnik in the first half of the 19th century suggests some ways in which the search for Russian civil society might be recast. For in Kazan, as early as the 1830s, there were signs of a new social configuration rooted in a local identity that cut across traditional estate lines. It wasn‟t an identity derived from any specific private institution or organization. Instead, in Kazan, the emerging local identity was an abstract construct, centered on cooperation, collective action and memorialization—and it drew vigor from the reimagining of an existing state institution: the Pamiatnik.
