Abstract

The article analyzes the life of the Tatar intelligentsia in Ufa in 1916 through the prism of ego-documents and in the context of the World War I. The main sources are the works of Shaikhzada Babich, Galiasgar Gafurov-Chygtai, Saifi Kudash and Zarif Bashiri. 1916 was a jubilee year for Tatar culture – 10 years since the founding of the Tatar theater, the establishment of newspapers, the opening of a madrasah. For Ufa, such iconic dominants were the Galia madrasah, the Tormysh newspaper, and the Nur troupe. Particular attention is paid to the conflict around the Galia madrasah, the relationship between Shaikhzad Babich and Sagit Suncheley, as well as the daily life of the military period. The author concluded that the conflicts of this period were continued in revolutionary times. Some pre-revolutionary episodes were mythologized thanks to memoirs of a later nature.
