Creating a Tatar Capital: National, Cultural, and Linguistic Space in Kazan, 1920-1941
CREATING A TATAR CAPITAL: NATIONAL, CULTURAL, AND LINGUISTIC SPACE IN KAZAN, 1920-1941 Gary Guadagnolo A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Donald J. Raleigh Louise McReynolds Susan Pennybacker Chad Bryant Eren Tasar © 2016 Gary Guadagnolo ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Gary Guadagnolo: Creating a Tatar Capital: National, Cultural, and Linguistic Space in Kazan, 1920-1941 (Under the direction of Donald J. Raleigh) This dissertation examines the introduction and implementation of Soviet nationalities policies among Russians and Tatars in the city of Kazan, an important cultural, educational, and industrial capital in the heart of Soviet Russia. Following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and the creation of the Tatar Republic in 1920, Kazan functioned as a laboratory in which Party-state authorities experimented with incorporating national minorities into the new socialist society under construction. Soviet nationalities policies allowed Tatars to pursue educational, political, and social opportunities denied them under the tsarist regime. Initiatives such as korenizatsiia (indigenization) and the “Realization of the Tatar Language” sought to bring national minorities into the mainstream of Soviet life by recruiting and training them to work in local Party-state apparatuses, industrial enterprises, and academic institutions. Supporting native cadres would make Soviet power seem indigenous, rather than something imposed by a new form of Russian colonialism. While these endeavors constantly ran into various roadblocks, over time they did attain some success in promoting indigenous minorities into positions of authority within the local Party-state apparatus, giving them an active role in shaping their own system of rule. -
Azerbaijan in the Beginning of XX Century: Roads Leading to Independence
Dilara Seyid-zade Azerbaijan in the Beginning of XX Century: Roads Leading to Independence Second edition, renewed and with additions Baku 2011 Dedicated to the bright memory of the national leader of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev who led the country to independence 2 Editor Asaf Hasanov Translated from Azerbaijani by G.Bayramov Dilara Seyid-zade. Azerbaijan in the Beginning of XX century: Roads Leading to Independence. Baku 2010 OKA offset 344 pp. 500 copies The period which covers the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries is one of the important moments of the struggle of the Azerbaijani people for independence. The outstanding representatives of the Azerbaijani entrepreneurs, their ideologists and intelligentsia, who emerged on the background of radical socio-political and economic changes taken place in the Czarist Russia after the reforms, headed the struggle for awakening the national self- consciousness of the people, for its enlightenment, for raising its political culture, for enabling it to enjoy all its civil rights by making use of all the opportunities. The Azerbaijani representatives elected in conditions of great difficulties and restrictions to the State Duma, the supreme legislative organ of Russia, were conveying to the whole Empire the voice of the Azerbaijani people for justice from the rostrum of this body. This Book studies the period leading to the establishment of the People‟s Republic of Azerbaijan, the first democratic republic in the orient. The full panorama of the events and of the socio-political processes currenting in the beginning of the 20th century in Azerbaijan has found its reflection in the Book, and it has been analyzed in detail. -

The Iranian Land Bridge in the Levant: The Return of Territory in Geopolitics By Fabrice Balanche · Friday, September 14, 2018 http://www.telospress.com/the-iranian-land-bridge-in-the-levant-the-return-of-territory-in- geopolitics/ With the re-establishment of Bashar al-Assad’s power in Syria, the strengthening of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and finally the political and military victory of pro-Iranian forces in Iraq, it is clear that an Iranian axis now prevails in the Levant. The strength of this geopolitical axis is reinforced by the territorial continuity between Tehran and Beirut via Damascus and Baghdad: “the Iranian land bridge” or “Iranian corridor,” controlled by Iranian troops directly and by proxies. Since the Shia militias joined the Syrian-Iraqi border in May 2017, the Iranian land bridge[1] has continued to expand, despite the U.S. -
