Monograph on the fate of Turkish subjects of the Russian Empire
Moscow/05.01.22/Turan: The Moscow publishing house "Mask" published a monograph by the Azerbaijani historian Sevinj Israfil gizi Aliyeva - "Turkish subjects in Russia: life in persecution and persecution (1877-1953)". The book is dedicated to the life of Turkish citizens on the territory of the Russian Empire, who were under the control of the authorities and were often persecuted.
Based on an analysis of a large volume of sources, the author traces the life of Turkish subjects in Russia, starting with the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878. until Stalin's death in 1953.
The multimillion Turkic-Muslim population of the Caucasus, Crimea, the Volga region, knowingly and often without any evidence, was considered the social base of the pro-Turkish propaganda. In wartime conditions (Russian-Turkish wars, Russian-Japanese war, Balkan war, World War I), a nationwide system of combating espionage emerged in the Russian Empire. The search for enemy agents in the rear and border units of the empire took on a huge scale.
All this happened against the background of interest in the national outskirts of the Russian Empire not only in Turkey, but also in Great Britain, Austria-Hungary and Germany. The attitude to Turkish citizens as "enemies", potential "spies", "opponents" predetermined their fate and destiny.
The introduction into the public consciousness of artificial ideas about the enemy, constructed by state structures, took place both in wartime and in peacetime. After Stalin's death during the "thaw", in connection with a certain liberalization of political and public life, the weakening of the reactionary struggle against the "enemy" was noticeable.
