PETITIONS OF THE TATARS-COSSACS OF THE ORENBURG COSSACK ARMY OF 1905 AS A SOURCE FOR THE STUDY OF SOCIOCULTURAL PROBLEMS OF ETHNIC COMMUNITIES IN THE EARLY 20th CENTURY
Abstract
One notable feature of the initial stage of the First Russian Revolution of 1905—1907 was the submission of petitions addressed to higher authorities by representatives of all ethnosocial groups of the population authorized by the autocracy. In order to bring their true sociocultural needs to the capital imperial structures, Tatars-Cossacks of the Orenburg Cossack army actively joined the petition movement.
The article highlights the geographical and chronological framework of the petition campaign among the Tatars-Cossacks, the composition of the authorized commissioners and village societies that took part in this social movement, the general and special notes in the texts of collective petitions of the Cossacks and the rest of the Muslim civilian population of the Volga-Ural region.
The requests of the Tatars-Cossacks, set out in petitions, are structured on topics such as the Cossack problems themselves, issues of expanding religious and cultural autonomy and providing Muslims with equal civil rights with the rest of the country’s population.
