Ruslar ve Saha Türkleri (1632-1917)
This work chronologically examines events and facts from the beginning of written history in the Sakha region to 1917.
The work will both provide valuable information to those interested in the history of the Sakha Turks and guide new research.
This work, which also includes information on other indigenous peoples of Far Eastern Siberia, will closely witness the missionaries' efforts to Russify the Sakha Turks through Orthodoxy.
In our opinion, this is the most crucial point of this work.
The Sakha Turks are a unique example for understanding and explaining the vital importance of language, religion, and ritual for a nation.
The history of the Sakha Turks, who resisted Russian efforts to transform them into an Orthodox Christian, Russian-speaking nation for nearly three centuries by clinging to their own language and customs, reveals the vital importance of preserving national identity.
