ТИПОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ МОДЕЛЬ ИСЛАМСКОЙ ПРЕССЫ В РОССИИ РУБЕЖА XIX–XX ВЕКОВ

Abstract

The article discusses and summarizes the first movements in the formation of the Islamic press in the Russian state and the Russian Empire, as well as the first regular periodicals in the first post-revolutionary decades. Examples of the main printing characteristics, layout and thematic diversity are given. Newspapers and magazines of confessional content and orientation, published both by private individuals and organizations, and by spiritual administrations, were reviewed and analyzed. Archival data of the Institute of the Tatar Encyclopedia, which are in the public domain, were used. In the course of the study, methods of empirical research (observation and comparison) were used, as well as methods of theoretical research (analysis, synthesis, generalization, etc.) The study showed that newspapers and magazines on religious subjects largely structurally fit into the typical characteristics of socio-political and other secular publications of that period, aimed at the Muslim sections of the country’s population. Confessional and national issues were regularly raised and extensively discussed not only directly in the Islamic press. And the distribution and publication of such newspapers and magazines took place both in regions with a homogeneous and traditionally diverse national composition of the population.
