“…More importantly, the maintenance of Islam as a factor of stabilisation made the encounter between the colonial authorities and the local population more difficult. 97 The expansion of EIS in Central Asia was therefore seen in Europe as mediated by a less civilising force, Russia. Arminius Vambéry, traveller, academic and influential intellectual at that time, commenting on the conquest of Central Asia, stated that '[Russia's politics there] is Asiatic, aye, wildly Asiatic in tendency', and that 'little, in spite of the long struggle after European civilisation, has yet been taken in, to speak comparatively, from what we call European or Western life'.…”

The spread of Jadidism and its ideas in Turkestan at the beginning of the 20th century, as well as the political situation and the intellectual environment in the region, became objects of discussion not only in the governmental circles of the Russian Empire, but also in the pages of the Russian and Muslim periodicals. In particular, in addition to Tarcuman and Waqt in Russia, the Turkish press of the "Islamist" direction, which arose after the 2nd Constitutional Revolution of 1908, began to pay more attention to the socio-political and economic situation of Turkestan Muslims. These periodicals, based on their political direction, printed, in most cases, analytical, review materials of an informational nature and received letters from local intellectuals.The tsarist authorities began to worry about the political situation in the neighboring states and their possible influence on the political mood of the population of Turkestan. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which had independent networks of informants and agents, as well as the newly created Turkestan District Security Division, which was subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, kept a close watch on "unwanted" citizens. Thus, these departments created a wide network of intelligence and informants and collected detailed information about these citizens. The analysis of the collected materials was received by the authorities in the form of memoranda, in which all concerns about the events in the life of the local population were stated. The authorities were particularly worried about Turkish and Afghan influence, which was considered the main threat to Russian dominance in the region. The ideas of pan-Islamism, emanating from these neighboring states, could greatly shake Russia's current policy in the region.The idea of uniting Muslims, assimilating the fruits of the progressive science of the West, as well as fighting against colonial policy began to attract more young Turkestanis. Although they were somewhat isolated from the outside world, they began to receive and read more often the press, which intensively agitated the ideas of "Islamism".The concept of "Pan-Islamism" in this article is considered from the point of view of Russian politicians, who believed that the ideological influence of the Young Turks on Russian, in particular Turkestan Muslims, contributes to the development of an anti-imperialist movement against the Russian state and the rallying of all Muslims under a single flag of the Ottoman Sultan.This article provides preliminary analyzes of materials from Turkish periodicals, as well as the policy of the Russian authorities in Turkestan, which provides general and analytical information about the development of political and intellectual trends in Turkestan at the beginning of the second decade of the twentieth century. Within the framework of the study, the materials of the newspapers Ṣırāṭ-ı Müstaqīm, Ta'āruf-i Müslimīn and Ḥikmet, to which the Turkestan Muslims had access, were mainly involved in the analy...

“…Еще раньше англичане, подчиняя себе Индию, в одних случаях ликвидировали местную государственность и создавали свою колониальную администрацию, в других -сохраняли местные княжества, навязывая магараджам неравноправные договоры. Некоторые англо-американские историки, не понимая сущности российского казачества, пытались искать аналогии, сравнивая казачьи войска с индийскими сипаями [2], но особый интерес у них вызывал российский опыт управления Средней Азией [3], который постоянно сравнивают с действиями британской администрации в Индии.…”

Волков Александр Павлович доктор исторических наук, профессор, заведующий кафедрой истории Военного университета Министерства обороны РФ Попов Владимир Валентинович доктор исторических наук, профессор, преподаватель кафедры истории Военного университета Министерства обороны РФ РАЗВИТИЕ ВОЕННО-АДМИНИСТРАТИВНОГО УПРАВЛЕНИЯ В РОССИЙСКОЙ СРЕДНЕЙ АЗИИ ВО ВТОРОЙ ПОЛОВИНЕ XIX В. Аннотация: Статья посвящена поэтапному становлению и развитию системы территориального управления в Средней Азии по мере ее присоединения к Российской империи во второй половине XIX в. Показано, что в Туркестанском генерал-губернаторстве и Закаспийской области эти системы имели некоторые различия, хотя везде приоритетным было военное управление. Утверждается, что российским военным администраторам в короткие сроки удалось создать более эффективное управление, чем в соседней Британской Индии, доказательством чему было отсутствие крупных восстаний, угрожавших российскому господству в регионе. Однако Туркестан не стал для России источником колониального обогащения в такой мере, как это было с Индией. Напротив, проводимые здесь меры были нацелены на скорейшую интеграцию присоединенных земель с метрополией, для чего расходовались немалые средства. Российская администрация в среднеазиатских владениях была немногочисленной и охватывала областное и уездное управление, а также приставства. Низшее управление формировалось из местного населения, с сохранением сложившихся веками традиций.
