What is the historical relation between the Tatar Muslims and the Russian Empire that they live in? These were the central questions that the Crimean Tatar Ismail Gasprinskii (1851-1914) posed in his 1881 essay ‘Russian Muslimhood’. Gasprinskii later became famous as the pioneer of Muslim educational reform and Tatar journalism in Russia; for many Russian,Soviet and Western authors he was a political ‘pan-Islamist’ oriented towards the Ottoman Empire. However, in his 1881 essay Gasprinskii posed as a Russian patriot. He projected a vision of the future of Russia’s Tatars that would draw them closer to the Russians – yet not by Russification but by a shared Europeanization. Using a language of ‘Orientalism’, Gasprinskii’s aim was to convince Russian administrators that Russia’s Muslims were not a threat to the tsarist empire but an asset.
