Abstract

In the final period of the Great Patriotic War, as well as the post-war years, there were tendencies towards national identification and nationalistic manifestations among the Muslim, and especially the Turkic and Siberian peoples living on the territory of the Russian Federation. These tendencies were most clearly manifested among Bashkirs, Tatars, Tuvinians, Siberian Tatars. A similar process took place in the Yakut ASSR. The Sakha Yakuts, who since ancient times inhabited the Lena River basin, northeastern Siberia, the middle taiga and the northern tundra, were the object of centuries-old Russian colonial policy. Russian Russians’ attempts to turn to their history, interest in their ethnic and national identity, and the idea of finding their own homeland were met with indignation by former Russian colonists and new Russian-Soviet satraps.
