Abstract:

This article studies the Tatar population of the Tobolsk Province in the post-reform period. The ethno-demographic, urban processes, class and professional structure of the Tatar population of the Tobolsk province are investigated.

For the first time, the analysis is performed on the materials of the First General population census of 1897, with the focus on the socio-economic and demographic shape of this population group. The changes in the structure of the Tatar community that occurred in the post-reform period, are revealed; the degree of its integration into the General Imperial system is determined.

The author shows that in the end of 19^th century, the main part of the Tatar population of the Tobolsk Province lived in rural settlements, which largely determined the predominant employment in the agricultural sector, as well as the deficiency of the inclusion of this population in the national modernization processes.
