By Benjamin Trovato (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews

It tells a fairly standard story of a non-European people reacting to modernity, in the special case of a Muslim community that had been under semi-European rule since 1552. The most interesting fact is that Kazan had intellectual links to Bukhara and Samarkand as well as Istanbul and St Petersburg. Those seeking a full history of the Kazan Tatars, especially in the early period, will have to look elsewhere.
