The article is timed to a landmark event in the history of state-Islamic relations in Russia – the 250th anniversary of the decree of 1773 on religious tolerance. The author reveals the prerequisites of this legislative act, the chronology of legal decisions preceding it. The role of Catherine II in the formation of the policy of religious tolerance, which affected all religions on the territory of the Russian Empire, is shown. Special attention is paid to the changes in the life of the Volga Tatars, which occurred as a result of Islam acquiring the status of a tolerant religion.
