This book investigates the entangled transformations of Russia's Muslim communities from the late eighteenth century through to the First World War.

Recenzje

'This well-written monograph provides us with a thorough discussion of the worlds of Muslims in Central Russia, from the establishment of the Imperial Muftiate by Catherine the Great in 1788 to roughly the First World War. Tuna's book is an attempt at rethinking the complex situation of Muslims in a non-Muslim empire by introducing the concept of domains.' Michael Kemper, Die Welt des Islams
