The archives of post-Soviet Eurasia are \nfilled with documents concerning relations between tsarist officials and\n \u201cRussia\u2019s Muslims\u201d between the 15th and 20th centuries (here the term \n\u201cRussia\u2019s Muslims\u201d refers to Muslims whose lands became part of the \nRussian Empire and whose lives impacted, and were impacted by, Russian \nempire). What do such documents allow historians to say about the ways \nthat Muslims interacted with tsarist and Soviet officials? Pollock\u2019s \ntalk has three aims. First, he will discuss the extent to which \nhistorians of Russian-Muslim encounters discuss their sources (i.e., \nprimary sources as distinct from historiography) in monographs published\n in the last decade. Second, he will draw attention to and consider the \nconsequences of historians\u2019 relative neglect of tsarist and Muslim \ndiplomatics \u2013 that is, the critical study of the conventions, protocols,\n and formulae used by the creators of historical documents. Finally, \nPollock will examine Turkic-language correspondence of Caucasian \nprovenance for what it reveals about tsarist-Muslim encounters in the \nregion between the 17th and 19th centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
