Dear Colleagues,

In honor of 1,000th anniversary of the founding of the city of Kazan, Journal of Modern Turkish Studies is soliciting your contribution for a special issue on Kazan and related Idil-Ural studies, to be published in September 2005.

The framework of the issue will rest on six considerations, namely:

• RELATIONS between Russian and Turk-Tatar nations covering all chronological periods from the medieval to the present, especially in Idil-Ural region.
• ENCOUNTERS, RESPONSES AND REPRESENTATIONS in czarist and imperial Russia between central and peripherical Russian authorities and non-Russian and non-Orthodox subjects, especially in Idil-Ural region.
• IMPACTS of Idil-Ural Turk-Tatar people on Russian people and Fin-Ugor peoples living in Idil-Ural region or vice versa (from political, social and cultural, economical aspects to linguistic and literary aspects including all chronological periods)
• INTELLECTUAL LIFE in Idil-Ural region, Muslim Tatar innovation, jadidist movement in Russian empire and contributions of Turk-Tatar intelligentsia to modern Islamic thought (from 19th century to early years of 20th century)
• POLITICAL DISCOURSE of Turk Tatar intelligentsia in pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet eras.
• DIASPORA, Idil-Ural communities in Turkey and the rest places, and their socio-cultural situations.
