Abstract

At the turn of the 1830s–1840s, the Caravanserai was built in Orenburg for the needs of the Bashkir-Meshcheryak army (since 1855 – the Bashkir army). It was represented a complex of buildings and a mosque with a minaret. The fate of Caravanserai was influenced by events taking place in the country: the disbandment of the Bashkir-Meshcheryak army in 1865, the revolution of 1917, the massive campaign to close mosques in 1929–1930, the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945.
