On the way of preserving Islam and national unity ... (on the history of opening the mosque-school for Turkic-Tatars in the city of Nagoyа)

Abstract

The history of the opening of a mosque-school for Turkic-Tatars in the city of Na-goya is explored on the basis of an article published in 1937 in the Milli Bayrak newspaper. This newspaper was published in the Tatar language in the city of Mukden. The paper examines the activities of Tatar teachers and patrons of art who participated in the construction the mosque building, which was also used as a school. The study of the Milli Bayrak newspaper materials allows us to imagine how important the problems of national education, enlightenment and upbringing, preservation of religious and cultural traditions were for the Tatar émigrés of the Far East. There are photographs of the mosque-school opening which were published on the pages of the newspaper Milli Bayrak.
