About Me

I am a historian with a keen interest in exploring various interpretations of history. My primary area of focus lies in analyzing the Muslim Tatar periodical press of late imperial Russia. However, my research extends beyond print media to include analysis of movies, TV series, and other forms of media. While my main geographical region of study is the Volga-Ural region of Russia, I also investigate topics related to Ukraine and the Middle East, with a particular emphasis on Turkey. I am passionate about languages, which serve as both my inspiration and primary area of scholarly inquiry.
