Tatar structures of Siberia in the early twentieth century

Abstract
The article studies the evolution of Tatar structures in Siberia at the beginning of the 20th century. Based on the analysis of the press in this period, the study proves that the vast majority of Muslims in Siberia identified themselves as Tatars, members of a single millet nation, possessing the Tatar literary language, which was used as the language of education. The paper states that among the structures created before the February Revolution of 1917 charitable societies, libraries, men’s and women’s mektebs predominated. The newspaper “The Siberia” and the musical-theatrical society were created in Tomsk. In 1917 and in early 1918, Muslim bureaus were beginning to appear in the cities, provin- cial Muslim congresses were held, the Muslim Shuro (National Councils) and branches of the Harbi Shuro (Military Councils) were formed. The Muslims of Siberia actually refused to create parallel structures, for example, their own Spiritual Assembly. The article records the emergence of Siberian Muslims’ fashion for holding holidays, following the model of the Muslims from European Russia: Mawlid, Hijri New Year and Sabantuy. The paper proves that Gabdulla Tukay, as a Tatar national po- et, occupied a key place in the gallery of symbolic leaders.
