Muslim Communists Petrograd - Kazan (1917 - 1918)

"What did those who were not the Poles, Ukrainians, Georgians, Armenians and the like, who were the oppressed nations in Tsarist Russia, the prison of nationalities, and those who were not the minorities generally interested in historians, that is, the Tatars, Bashkirs, Turkmens, Azeris and the like, do? How did the Revolution affect them, how did they react to the Revolution? Were they Turkists and Islamists as it was said and written?

In general, studies on the Muslim geography before and after the October Revolution describe the struggles of nationalist Muslims to obtain autonomy. It is as if Muslims were only engaged in nationalist activity and were not interested in the power struggle waged by the working class in Moscow and Petrograd." It cannot be said that Muslims were only involved in "nationalist" activities during the revolution, but more importantly, a history reading focused on Petrograd and Moscow is already accurate in terms of understanding the activities of Muslims. This book by Emel Akal, titled Muslim Communists: Petrograd-Kazan (1917-1918), focuses on the activities of Muslim communities in Russia before and after the October Revolution, focusing on Yusuf Akçura, Şerif Manatof, Ahmetzaki Validov, Sultan Galiyef, Mustafa. Focusing on the political experience of Muslims in Russia between 1917 and 1918, it looks at "both from Moscow to Kazan, Orenburg and Ufa" and "from Kazan, Orenburg and Ufa to Moscow" through influential figures such as Suphi and Mollanur Vahidof. offers an "alternative" reading of history.
