Siberian Tatars appearance. What is the nature of the Tatars? The main features of the representatives of this ethnic group

Today, the Tatars are treated ambiguously. On the one hand, they are admired, because it was they, together with their brothers the Mongols, who managed to conquer a good half (if not more) of the Old World. On the other hand, they are not treated very friendly, because there is an opinion that the character of the Tatars is far from ideal. belligerent, bold, cunning and to a certain extent cruel. But the truth, as always, is somewhere in between.

The character of the Tatars was largely determined by the conditions in which they lived. Nomads are known to be hardy people, strong and brave. They could easily adapt not only to any weather conditions, but also to any life situations. But the Tatars always remained faithful to their national traditions, the life of the community was led smart people according to ancient traditions.

What kind of character do the Tatars really have? People who are closely acquainted with this people note that their main qualities are perseverance and diligence. There are always many children in Tatar families. An interesting fact is that they believe that a sick woman can recover when she gives birth to another baby. The family for a Tatar is the most important thing, he is kind to his half. There are quite a few divorces among people of this nationality. And they live very friendly, always support each other, which today is a rarity for the peoples of the West.

Despite the fact that the character of the Tatars as a whole includes such qualities as honesty and kindness, there are traitors, scoundrels, and cowards among them. As the saying goes, there is a black sheep everywhere. The struggle for survival in the conditions of nomadic life gave rise to a certain envy, ambition, cunning in the hearts of the representatives of this people. Tatars are quite prudent, have a bright and quick mind, but also hot heads. However, they always think well before saying something out of anger. Since ancient times, the Tatars have been engaged trade affairs, so they are doing well in this business today. And trade itself requires chastity, resourcefulness and cunning from a person. Interestingly, they were not serfs. They lived according to their own rules and laws, and the landowners did not exist at the expense of the labor of ordinary peasants.

The character of the Tatars is special, as is their worldview, philosophy, culture and language. But there is one more distinctive people - National cuisine about which there are legends. Simple and nutritious, healthy food embodies the hospitality of the Tatar people. The traveler was always offered hot dishes here - meat, dairy and lean. As a rule, a hot dish with flour dressing is constantly present on the table. There are festive and ritual dishes, such as dumplings and broth, chicken stuffed with eggs. Pilaf with boiled meat, amazing and varied pastries are considered almost classics. Bread is considered sacred.

Despite the fact that the people profess Islam, the male Tatars have a rather friendly character. In principle, almost the same qualities are inherent in a Tatar as are characteristic of a Russian person, so girls should not be afraid if their chosen one belongs to this ethnic group.

Of course, all people are different, but still there are certain features that unite a separate race, a group of peoples, a people. Tatars belong to the Altai family, Turkic group. The ancestors of the Tatars were farmers. Tatars, unlike other representatives of the Mongoloid race, do not have pronounced common features in appearance. The appearance of the Tatar has undergone changes due to infusions of Slavic blood. Indeed, Tatars can be not only dark-haired, but also fair-haired and even red-haired, unlike the Mongols, Azerbaijanis, Uzbeks, Tajiks. Also, Tatars do not necessarily have narrow eyes and very dark skin. However, they still distinguish common features Tatar appearance. Anthropologists have revealed that modern Tatars had ancestors of both the Mongoloid and Caucasoid races.

It is in connection with this that the representatives of this people are so different. In addition, there are several types of Tatars: Ural, South Kama, Crimean, Volga-Siberian. The last type is closest to Mongoloid race. have a wide nose, pronounced cheekbones, dark hair, brown eyes, a crease above the upper eyelid. But this type is very rare. Volga Tatars have an oblong face without pronounced cheekbones, large gray or brown eyes, nose oriental type, with a hump. The physique is correct, tall, hardy, the skin is not swarthy. More often, however, there are Tatars of European appearance, with blond hair, light eyes. Almost all Tatars have a narrow nose, sometimes with a hump or aquiline. Often Tatars are not tall, average height women is 164 cm.

The character of the Tatar also has its own characteristics. Representatives of this people are hardworking, hospitable, stubborn, clean, but proud, indifferent, unshakable. In their traditions, respect elders, be guided by reason, be law-abiding, adapt to the situation, be able to adapt. They are also deeply religious, patient, love order and power. Thanks to their hard work, perseverance, straightforwardness, they achieve success in their careers, a commercial streak is certainly inherent in this people. They are disciplined and persistent, work to the end, achieve their goals.

Tatars strive to gain knowledge, they show perseverance and responsibility. The main distinguishing feature of the Crimean Tatars is their unusual indifference and calmness, even in the most difficult situation. Tatars are very talkative and curious, although they are silent and concentrated during work. In addition, these people have a pronounced sense of their own dignity, consider themselves special, sometimes arrogant, arrogant. Everything is done with some innate dignity. Tatars are also incredibly clean, their homes are always in order and cleanliness, regardless of whether they live richly or poorly. They look after their appearance, neat and clean. In relation to their co-religionists, the Tatars are incredibly respectful, very honest, thefts are a rarity among their own.

Tatar people very hospitable, despite belonging to one or another faith, social status etc. they accept everyone as equals. Even if they are not rich, they will always invite a guest to the table and share their modest lunch and dinner. Incredible curiosity is distinguished by women. Tatar women, being tied to the house, busy raising children, are literally surprised at various trifles, they try in every way to look beyond the veil of public life, their eyes are attracted by beautiful outfits, interesting trinkets, they love to watch people, especially Christians, Europeans who have different traditions, foundations. How to define a Tatar, if certain character traits can be quite inherent in other nationalities. It is only necessary to combine external features and character traits. Since the Tatar people are a Muslim people, they are nevertheless similar to other peoples who profess Islam. But they also learned a lot from the Europeans, because many Tatars live on a common territory with them.

At one of the press conferences, the question about the national character somehow arose: does such a concept exist in principle, or was it invented by journalists? Then a young employee of a popular metropolitan publication stood up and answered: “I won’t say about others, but we, Tatars, definitely have a national character - we Tatars, if only for nothing.”

However, it is very difficult to find a person who would refuse a freebie, so this is probably not main feature Tatar ethnic group. What then are the main ones? Let's try to find them.

1. Red, red, freckled

Tatars are considered to be brunettes with large dark eyes. However, the people have long and firmly assimilated with the Slavs, and therefore among its representatives there are blondes, and brown-haired, and freckled redheads. Not obligatory and swarthy skin, high cheekbones, a narrow slit of the eyes. In addition, there are Crimean, Ural, Volga-Siberian, South Kama Tatars, which are quite different from each other. So if you are not a professional anthropologist, then you are unlikely to identify a Tatar by the eyes, nose or shape of the lips.

2. The beard does not warm in the cold

The Tatars rarely wear a beard, apparently imitating the Finno-Ugric peoples, with whom they also historically merged.

3. Fatima, Gulchatay, Reseda…

Tatars are Muslims, but polygamy is not widespread among them. It is extremely rare for a Tatar to even have two wives. Only if the first wife, having entered old age, finds it difficult to take care of the house and children, she takes the second one - younger and stronger. And he checks the bride like this: he watches how she cuts homemade noodles and bread, the thinner - the better, she will be an economical hostess.

4. All at work

If the Germans are, first of all, punctual, the Russians are reckless, then the Tatars are hard-working. They do well in trade and crafts. Renowned historian In the 19th century, Nikolai Nikolsky wrote in his "Ethnic Albums": "It's hard to imagine a Tatar at home even on Muslim holidays, he certainly stands near his shop or shop and talks with neighbors and travelers. The Tatars trade better than the Russians."

5. You will lick your fingers!

Are you saying that you don't like Tatar cuisine? You just haven't tried it! It is delicious, but for some reason little known. Only chak-chak and azu in Tatar are popular everywhere. Of course, it’s hard to find kalyk - dried horse meat today, but cook belish with meat, potato, or curd filling, kystyby with millet porridge or peremyach with carrots or beets, you definitely won’t regret it!

6. You don’t drink tea, where do you get strength?

Tea in Tatarstan is a favorite national drink. Without it, not a single meeting takes place, a conversation does not start. Start the day with "irtenge chey" - morning tea. "Cheyge chakyru" is an ancient custom of inviting people for tea. “After tea, summer is in the soul,” says a popular proverb.

7. In we came from the Tatars

Tatars are sure that most of the great people belong to their people. Yes, often you can’t argue: Rachmaninov, Aksakov, Tyutchev, Karamzin, Sheremetyev - surnames Tatar origin. And in the recently released film "Secrets of the Tatars of Moscow" it is stated that even Minin and Pozharsky had Tatar roots in their family.

8. A man, even if he falls, will find money.

So claims Tatar proverb. The people are distinguished by thrift and diligence. A Tatar will definitely build himself a good, comfortable home, create a strong economy. There are few millionaires among the Tatars, but there are practically no poor, mostly they are wealthy, wealthy people who can sensibly manage even small amounts of money.

9. Kulmek, yshtan, yes skullcap

The basis of the national Tatar costume- a loose tunic-shaped shirt (kulmek), wide trousers (yshtan) and an indispensable skullcap. Fabrics, even men, have always preferred bright, oriental, with intricate patterns. And they did not take off the skullcap either at home or on the street, on cold days they put on a hat or a felt hat right on top of it.

10. A lot of us!

Tatars in our country are the second largest people, after the Russians. According to the last census in 2010. a little more than 5 million, and therefore they are rightfully considered the state-forming nation. They have been living next to us for many centuries, so let our friendship only grow stronger!

Here's what they think of themselves famous representatives Tatar people.

Nail Nabiullin, Chairman of the Union of Tatar Youth "Azatlyk"

A modern Tatar man knows several languages ​​perfectly, Russian, English, of course, Tatar. Eager to explore Turkic languages: Turkish, Kazakh. He is always ready to help those in need. He is a Muslim who necessarily knows the basic canons of Islam. He loves himself, his family, his relatives. As a state-forming nation, the Tatars are generally responsible for our entire country, and not just for themselves.

A real Tatar is a loving father of many children, he strives to give his sons and daughters a good education and he himself is constantly improving spiritually.

Unfortunately, globalization is taking its toll, and national clothes every day he does not wear, but strives for it. At a minimum, on holidays he wears a skullcap to emphasize his national identity. I wear a skullcap every day. And for solemn moments, I have a national costume. However, even when I dress in European style, I strive to have at least some ethnic element, albeit small, but present in my costume.

And the Tatar, at least, is a wealthy person.

Rais Suleimanov, researcher at the Volga Center for Regional and Ethno-Religious Studies (RISS):

A modern Tatar man is a secular person, mostly a city dweller, fluent in Russian, as a rule, he wears European clothes, perceives Russian culture not as someone else's, but as his own. It can easily integrate with Russians, up to marriages. There is no Caucasian expression in him, he is calm and peaceful. Strives to become a wealthy person, material wealth is important to him, but he is not a hoarder.

Evgenia Keda

feature Tatar nationality there is a lack of pronounced features of appearance, which would make it possible to unmistakably distinguish its representatives from other peoples. Their appearance is different, depending on ethnic group to which they belong. However, anthropology still highlights the signs of how the Tatars look, taking into account the characteristic features.

How to identify a Tatar: typical features of nationality

Tatars (self-name "Tatarlar") belong to the Turkic group, the white race. Since ancient times, the populous ethnos influenced the development of Eurasia. The history of the Middle Ages tells how the nation kept a vast territory in tension from Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic coast.

The variety of types of appearance of the people is due to its origin, since among the ancestors of the Tatars there were representatives of both the Mongoloid and European races. This also explains the prevalence and population of the nation.

The mixed race, to which the Tatars belong, allows you to see among its representatives dark-haired and fair, red, brown-eyed, with gray eyes and so on.

Depending on where they came from and where they live, there are many types of a given nationality.

These include:

• Kazan;
• Kasimov's;
• Siberian;
• Astrakhan;
• Permian;
• Crimean Tatars;
• Mishari;
• teptyari;
• Kryashens;
• whips and others.

The population of the nation in Russia in 2010, according to Wikipedia, is 5.3 million people. As a percentage, the indicator is how many Tatars from total number of the population is 3.87%. In terms of prevalence in the Russian Federation, nationality is recognized as the second after Russians. There are about a million Tatars in the world, they make up more than half of the population of the Republic of Tatarstan (53%), and in the United States, according to statistics, only 2-7 thousand people live.

Representatives of the nation speak the Tatar language, which includes the Western and Kazan dialects. In the religion of the people there are Muslims, Orthodox Christians (Kryashens) or atheists (there is no faith in God). Mostly in their religion, the Tatars belong to the Sunnis, and not to the Shiites.

It helps to determine nationality by facial features characteristic of anthropological types.

Tatars distinguish 4 of them:

Each of them is characterized by the features shown in the photo.

head shape

Tatars are characterized by mesokephaly or subbrachycephaly (cranial index 76-80), that is, they are predominantly medium-headed, moderately long and wide skull and oval face.

The Mongoloid type is characterized by brachycephaly, that is, short-headedness. The face is broad and flattened.

Eyes

It is believed that the Tatars are characterized by the Mongolian section of the eyes, their narrow shape. However, this is not necessary; the epicanthus is predominantly found in the Mongoloid type, and is poorly developed in the sublaponoid type.

Other anthropological types are not characterized by such features.

The color varies: Tatars are blue-eyed, with brown eyes. But the green ones are the most common.

It is difficult to identify a Tatar by his appearance.

A more characteristic type is presented below - singer, actor, composer, producer, film director Renat Ibragimov.

Nose

The shape of the olfactory organ in Tatars is diverse. Usually the nose is wide, with a straight back or an unexpressed hump. For the Pontic type, a lowered tip is characteristic, for the Mongoloid and sublaponoid type, a low nose bridge.

The Tatars of this group appeared in the 15th century. Its representatives live in the south of Ukraine, in Russia, Romania, Turkey, Uzbekistan (where they were deported from the Crimea in the middle of the 20th century).

Purebred Crimean Tatars have an appearance close to Slavic. The real representatives of the nation had high growth, light brown or red hair, light eyes and skin.

However, the neighborhood with the Asians made character traits in the image of nationality. Many Tatars acquired the corresponding type of face, dark hair and eyes, swarthyness.

After returning to the Crimea, the people revive the lost original customs and traditions.

Astrakhan

A group of Tatars formed on the territory of the modern Astrakhan region. They are considered descendants of the Turkic-speaking population of the Golden Horde, they have their own dialect.

During historical development the nationality was influenced by the Nogais.

For the appearance of the Astrakhan Tatars, Mongoloid features are more characteristic than Caucasoid ones. There is a dark color of hair and eyes, some of their narrowness, a wide oval of the face and nose.

What do Tatars look like?

The height of the Tatars is average, about 165 centimeters, long legs are uncharacteristic. Some representatives of the nation are characterized by a square figure: broad shoulders along with the same hips. The narrow waist emphasizes the beauty of Tatar women.

The photo shows the famous fashion model Irina Shayk (Shaykhlislamova), a Tatar on the paternal side.

Features of character and mentality

To understand who the Tatars are, it is important to know who they came from. The origin left an imprint on their appearance and lifestyle.

Briefly, the theory of where the Tatars came from calls the place where the roots of the nation were formed ancient state Volga Bulgaria. Their ancestors are the Bulgars. The Turkic-Bulgarian ethnos came from the Asian steppes and settled in the Middle Volga region. IN X-XIII centuries The nation created its own statehood. Mainly in question about the Volga-Ural group, other varieties are considered as separate communities. For example, the theory of Tatar-Mongol origin reduces or even denies the participation of the Volga Bulgaria in the history of the Kazan Tatars.

Often there is a dispute that the Tatars are still Asians or Europeans. It is due to racial mixing. Geneticists say that the nation is mostly Caucasoids, with a minority of Mongoloids.

The photo shows the guys and girls of the Tatars in national costumes.

The mentality and culture of the people is influenced by their religion - they profess Islam, which they adopted on May 21, 922.

The character of a Tatar man is distinguished by stubbornness, indifference. However, at the same time, he is hardworking, hospitable, has a sense of dignity, which is sometimes perceived as pride and arrogance. Crimean Tatars are distinguished by calmness, enterprise in stressful situations. They are careerists, striving for knowledge and new opportunities.

What Tatar men are in a relationship is determined by their character: they are reliable, reasonable, law-abiding, purposeful. Religion allows polygamy, but it is extremely rare. Usually a second wife, a younger one, is brought into the house to help with household chores when the first one has grown old.

A Tatar wife is obedient and submissive to her husband, betrayed in love, from childhood, girls are set up for a long-lasting and only marriage. Women are inquisitive, clean, hospitable, attentive to people, love to cook and raise children. Among the dishes that Tatars eat, kazylyk (dried horse meat), gubadiya (layer cake), talkysh kaleve (dessert), chak-chak stand out. The basis of culinary masterpieces is dough and a thick layer of fat.

Tatar women follow fashion, are interested in novelties and love nice clothes: despite her obedience to her husband, loyalty to customs and traditions, she cannot be found in a black veil.

The photo shows the singer Alsou (Safina / Abramova).

It is believed that Tatar women are passionate in bed, and men are skilled lovers.

Religion does not prohibit marriages with non-Christians, so there is a Tatar wife, a Russian husband, and vice versa. Such families are quite happy, each of the members adheres to their religious beliefs. Mestizos are born from a mixture of Russians and Tatars. Children of mixed blood are often outwardly cute, combining the features of 2 nationalities.

An interesting fact is the appearance in some babies of a sign of belonging to the Mongoloid race - a specific spot (Mongolian). Such a Tatar mark in a child is a bluish patch of skin on the buttocks, sacrum, and thighs.

Sometimes it is mistaken for a bruise, although this is considered a sign of oriental blood. With age, the stain disappears.

Tatarov highlights worship and respect for elders.

An interesting marriage ceremony. After the wedding, the guy and the girl do not live together for another year. It is considered correct that at this time the young woman stays with her parents, and her husband (in Tatar the word sounds “ir”) comes as a guest.

Differences from other nations

Comparing the appearance of the Tatars and similar peoples, they distinguish identical and distinctive features.

For example, the Bashkirs also belong to the Turkic family, have a similar language and adhere to the same religion. However, there are differences in appearance. Tatars are predominantly characterized by Caucasoid features, Bashkirs - Mongoloid.

Bashkir

There is a theory that the Jews are inherently similar to the Tatars. This is due to the similar structure of DNA. Adherents of the hypothesis believe that the majority of Ashkenazi Jews did not belong to Israel and are Turks.

There is something in common between Tatars and Turks. This is their belonging to the Turkic peoples.

The Tatars also have a close relationship with the Kazakhs. Previously, they were ranked as one people, connected by a Turkic community. However, it is not difficult to distinguish nationality by appearance.

For visual comparison, the picture shows the anthropological types of various peoples.

stereotypes

There are many stereotypes about the Tatar people, right and wrong, which have become obsolete or to this day are their hallmarks.

• An uninvited guest is worse than a Tatar!- phraseological unit refers to the time when the Russians were under the yoke of the yoke. The Tatars were cruel invaders, they showed violence, ferocity. The Russians, accordingly, considered them a nasty people and hated them with all their hearts. Therefore, the uninvited guest in the proverb acts as an unexpected invader, like a Tatar, as they were scornfully called in Rus'.
• Tatars are cunning and stingy. The people are characterized by thrift, they do not like to squander money. The Tatar is prudent and prosperous, creates for himself comfortable conditions life, wisely managing finances.
• Selfishness and arrogance. Sometimes Tatars call themselves special, arguing that great people have their roots. This is the reason why the representatives of the nation are not loved. However, to exalt one's people and consider them better than others is also characteristic of other nationalities.
• Tea lovers. Not a single event or meeting takes place without a drink.
• Hospitality. Tatars are friendly and inquisitive. They are happy to receive guests in the house. The hosts will put delicious Tatar delicacies on the table and keep up a pleasant conversation.

Quoting I:

For N, the Tatars have old info. The sample is small, in fact, Tatars have much more N, this can be seen from the tests.
Someone also lied to you about the Z93. The Polish-Lithuanian "Tatars" have this snip. This is a small nation of several tens of thousands of people sent at one time from the Western Horde to help the Mongolian troops. You understand that these are not Tatars, it is incorrect to refer to them.
Kazan Tatars do not have Z93, but Baltic snips. You can check it with FTDNA. There is one single Z93 in Mishar in Bashkiria, but this does not mean anything. Here, your Bashkir neighbors have Z93 all the time.
In the above table, there is not even J, E, although the Tatars have a lot of them according to the latest data.
But J, E, N were not found in the Scythian-Sarmatian bones.
Forget about phenotypes, this is irrelevant.

1. If there are Baltic snips, then most likely from the Balts of the Imenkovskaya culture.

2. Anthropology is relevant. First of all, she says that the Tatars are racially different from the Finno-Ugric peoples and Russians. The predominance of the Pontids already speaks for itself.

3. Tatars are dominated by non-European snips R1a:

Z93 + and L342.2 + If there is another infa - throw off the link. I'll take a look.

4. There is a DNA project on the tatforum. According to it, it turns out that R1a Tatars by haplotypes have nothing in common with Finno-Ugric peoples and Russians: www.tatforum.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=6803&st=520
___________________

There is an official anthropology. Finally, there are eyes. Although crack - the Tatars are basically not Finno-Ugric, not Balts and not Russians, but Pontids (North-Iranids).

What are you trying to prove to me?

As for the Mishars, the Finno-Ugric peoples are generally ridiculous.))) They have completely pronounced pontids + the nomadic tradition has not been lost. At the same time, they sharply differ from the Russians and the surrounding Finnish peoples. The ancient Finnish meshchera, if anything, had the Upper Oka type. Steppe Misharsky is from the Scythians:

* Proceedings of the Society of Archeology, History and Ethnography at the Imperial Kazan University. - Kazan, 1903
//. Traditions and historical data about the Mishars. Gainetdin Akhmerov.

The Mishars call themselves Tatars, and consider the name "Mishar" to be an insulting expression in relation to themselves. To the question "Mishar"? they often respond with swear words with the addition of the consonant verb “Tishar” (pierce, pierce), while other foreigners, for example, Bashkirs, Kyrgyz, talking about their nationality “without Bashkorts” (we are Bashkirs), “without Cossacks” (we are Kyrgyz), they strike their chest with their hands - as a sign of pride. The Kazan Tatars, calling themselves Muslims by faith or Bulgars by origin, do not respect the name “Tatar” for themselves.
The Mishars, although everyone is engaged in agriculture, everywhere show a tendency to cattle breeding, they breed a lot of livestock, especially sheep. Tatars living in the neighborhood of the Mishars do not have such a penchant for cattle breeding.
In the provinces of Simbirsk and Samara, the Mishars trade in sheep; each horse-dealer grazes his own herd.
In the autumn, the Mishari hawkers rent winter fields from neighboring landlords, where they graze their sheep until the very winter; they do not have enough fields for this. The Mishars do not have a special inclination for poultry farming; they generally have few domestic birds. They do not even have their own names for some poultry, heap (Russian kochet) - a rooster, silazan - a drake, and among the Tatars, a rooster has been used to determine the time since ancient times and it is often discussed in children's fairy tales. Among Tatars, Chuvashs and other foreigners of the Volga region, poultry farming is an economic support, especially chicken farming, for example, many eggs are sent from the provinces of Kazan and Vyatka to St. Petersburg, Riga and from there abroad.
Beekeeping and hunting are also not habitual crafts for the Mishars, however, in Bashkiria, the Mishars and their murzas are partly engaged in falconry and wolf racing. They have special horses for this, which are considered laudable.
In former times, the Mishars of the Nizhny Novgorod and Simbirsk provinces led tame bears, which is why the Tatars often call them "ayuchy" (bear leader).
The Mishars began to engage in trade, mainly peddling, only recently, and even then not everywhere, but only in some provinces, for example, Nizhny Novgorod, Simbirsk, Penza and Saratov and in the cities of Kasimov and Chistopol. Many of them live in the capitals. In St. Petersburg, they are known under the name of negligents, since they mostly sell old clothes. In Moscow, they sell "knots" (i.e., they carry their goods in a bundle), lace and junk. In Nizhny Novgorod they serve in grain mills and in various factories. In Kostroma, they are partly cabbies, partly serve on various ships, there are also shipbuilders. In Astrakhan for the most part drafters (visitors from the provinces of Nizhny Novgorod and Penza).
There are a lot of Konovalov from Mishars. In some villages of the Simbirsk province, the Mishars are completely engaged in this trade. Of the Tatars of Kazan, there are no konoval at all. Mishar horse-drawn horses can be seen all over Russia, except for the Kirghiz steppes. In the summer of 1898, three Mishar teachers from the Karsun district of the Simbirsk province came to Kazan for teacher training, one of whom brought a piece of Japanese cloth to sew a dressing gown in Kazan. This cloth was bought from horse-dressers visiting Japan and China.
It turns out that the Mishar horse-drawn horses, going into the depths of Asia, end up in China and Japan, from where they bring various kinds of Asian fabrics and carpets, which are sold here as a rarity for expensive prices.
In the summer of 1899, the Mishars of the Karsun district of the Simbirsk province, visiting the Amur Territory, asked the government for access to Sakhalin Island, but they were not allowed to.
In the provinces of Simbirsk, Samara and Kazan, the Mishari are also engaged in horse-stealing, and they show remarkable courage, resourcefulness and patience. This is supposed to be the remnants of the former equestrian prowess. We see the same passion for horse stealing among the Kirghiz and Kalmyks. In the west of Tsivilsky and in the Buinsky counties there are Mishar villages, the inhabitants of which are completely engaged in this shameful trade. Gangs of horse thieves are always well organized, if not from one village, then from several villages - two or three people each; usually meet at markets and fairs. In the neighborhood with the Mishars, or simply by misunderstanding, this vice is attributed to the Kazan Tatars, while among them horse stealing is a very rare occurrence. In the Vyatka province, where herds walk without a shepherd in fenced fields and forests, horse theft is also a rare occurrence.
The Mishars have a particular inclination towards animal food rather than vegetable food. The most favorite meat is lamb and horsemeat sausage. Horses are slaughtered only when they are old and emaciated; a foal is never slaughtered. And the Tatars, on the contrary, slaughter fat horses and they are often fattened with bard, where there are distilleries; a lot of small foals are slaughtered to free the uterus during field work.

Mishars do not have national Tatar holidays, like Sabantuy (plow holiday), Zein - summer fun holidays in May and June. However, in some places, due to the Tatar influence, Sabantuy and the Mishars celebrate.

VII. About the suit.

The costume of the Mishars, both for men and women, is the same Tatar, but they wear clothes of a more ancient form.
From the information delivered to E. A. Malov by the Tatar S. A. regarding the form, the following can be seen: “the clothes of the Mishars are like the clothes of old times, new fashion They dont have". Among the Kazan Tatars, the form often changes, as among the people of the trade and having constant relations with various nations. E. A. Malov says that the clothes of the Mishars are simple, of ancient cut, and not the exquisite clothes of the Mohammedan form. E. A. noticed that the shirts of the Mishars, like those of the Russians, are red or variegated, i.e., red-blue checks.
In some places (the provinces of Penza, Tambov, Nizhny Novgorod and Simbirsk), a Russian-village influence is noticed on the male costume of the Mishars, for example, sometimes the Mishars wear a Russian sheepskin coat, Russian hats, boots with wide tops or Russian bast shoes.
Tatars have both masculine and women's suit V Lately Russian began to be noticed urban influence.
The headband of the mice has special form, completely similar to the Kyrgyz. First, they wrap the head with a veil (tastar), and tie a scarf over it, spreading its ends from behind, as if from a turban. E. A. Malov and Cheremshansky also pointed out this feature of the headband of the misharok. I. N. Smirnov noticed that, under the influence of the Mishars, the Mokshan women also wear the same form of headdress.
Misharks do not wear caps and hats; Tatar women often wear white felt hats during field work, and on holidays and at a party they wear hats with a beaver band, sometimes decorated with a braid on top. However, the lace decoration of hats is already going out of fashion among the Tatars. The hat is also given as a kalym from the groom, and is recorded in the metric, among other outfits.
Misharkas have their own national camisole-rod of an upper dress with short skirts and sleeves to the elbows, with an open collar, pleated waist. The camisole is fastened with only one clasp, more than silver, the front edges only touch, and do not cover each other. We see exactly the same camisole among the Kirghiz and Nogai Tatars (in the provinces of Orenburg and Astrakhan). Tatar women also wear a camisole, but not like this, it is without folds and without sleeves, the collar is slightly open, the front edges cover each other. The camisole of the Tatars is usually warm (with fur), and is also given in kalym.
The Mishars wear knitted stockings, while the Tatars and Chuvashs wear white cloth stockings.
The Kostroma Mishars have nothing national left, except for the headband of women, who can only be distinguished from Russian women by this outfit.
The costume of the Mishars in the provinces of Orenburg and Ufa, judging by the descriptions of Cheremshansky, does not differ at all from the costume of the Bashkirs and Tatars of that region.

CONCLUSION ON PEOPLE AND ORIGIN.

Among Russian scientists, there was an opinion that the current Mishars or Meshcheryaks, as they are called in Russian literature, come from the Finnish Meshchera tribe that lived on the Oka and its tributaries.
This assumption, based solely on the name "Mishar" and the disappearance of Meshchera, needs scientific verification. Literature about the Mishars is extremely poor; no one studied the language and way of life of this people, which is why there are frequent mistakes and inaccuracies in the few sources available.
The bare name "Mishar", of course, is not enough to determine the nationality of this tribe, since neighboring peoples often give each other erroneous names, for example, the Kirghiz call the Bashkirs Ostyaks (Istak), the Meadow Cheremis call the Tatars Chuvashs (Suas), Votyaks they are also called bigers (biger), the Chuvashs call the Kirghiz nogays (nogai), and the Kirghiz themselves call this name the Volga Tatars in general, the Altai Kalmyks call the Russian Cossacks (Cossack). The disappeared Meshchera tribe was of the same origin as the Mordovians, and in Russian chronicles it is constantly mentioned along with the Mordovians and Cheremis.
Mordva, like other Volga Finns, has been leading a sedentary life since ancient times and from time immemorial has been engaged in arable farming and beekeeping, hunting for animals and fishing.
The Mishars, however, not only have no inclination towards these branches of the economy (except for agriculture), but there are absolutely no words in the language related to these crafts. And their agriculture is in a much worse state than that of the Mordovians and other foreigners of the Volga region. The Mordovians, like other Finns, do not notice a nomadic character at all, which was preserved quite freshly among the Mishars.

If the assumption about the origin of the current Mishars from the Meshchera is considered reliable, then under the influence of what people could this Finnish tribe so soon and completely Tatar? In the language of the Kazan Tatars, as the closest Turkic neighbors of the Meshchera, we do not notice some phonetic features of the Mishar dialect and a lot of its words and Turkic archaisms, found only in the dialects of the Siberian Tatars, which never came into contact with the Meshchera.
The question is, by virtue of what favorable circumstances did the other neighbors and fellow tribesmen of the Meshchers (Mordva and Cheremis) not suffer the same fate and remain, as it were, isolated from the Tatars? Meanwhile, the Mordvins (Moksha), occupying now their historical places (and in the Meshchera region, as the name of the river - Moksha shows), is a constant neighbor of the Mishars in the provinces of Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Penza, Tambov, Simbirsk, etc. How can we explain, finally the current Mishars have the most Turkic type, and where could they have had so many murzas and princes?
The Mishars consider themselves Tatars, the Kirghiz call them Nogays (Nogai), the Kazan Tatars claim that they are of Turkish origin; other foreigners and the Russian people indifferently call them Tatars.
The language and the names of settlements derived from it prove that this is a nomadic people of the Turkic race, who came out of Central Asia relatively late. Their own legends and some historical data say that these are fragments of the Golden Horde.
Personal names and surnames derived from them also serve to some extent as indicators of their Tatar origin.
By type, the Mishars belong to Turkic race and have more similarities, for example, with Crimean Tatars and even distant Yakuts.
Their occupations, manners and customs are of a nomadic nature and are similar to those of the Kirghiz.
The women's costume is of purely Asian origin and is completely similar to the Kirghiz and Nogai.
The totality of all these data excludes the possibility of the Finnish origin of the current Mishars and serves as irrefutable proof of their Turkic origin. I came to a deep conviction that these were representatives of a more numerous and once strong tribe, namely the descendants of those nomads of Asia who in the 13th century poured into Europe through the Ural River and established themselves on Akhtuba under the name of the Golden Horde. After the collapse of the last part of this tribe, led by Prince Kasim, in the middle of the 15th century, it established itself on the Oka and began to be called by the main city of Meshchera, where their leader Ka-sim sat down. Another significant part, nomadic for a long time and known under the common name of the Nogais, after conquering the kingdoms of Kazan and Astrakhan, gradually established itself in the current provinces of Samara, Saratov, Simbirsk, Penza and the southern part of Kazan, when the region began to be settled by Russians. When the complete dominance of the Russians on the Volga was established, various circumstances forced the Mohammedan foreigners (Tatars and Mishars) to move to Bashkiria, where they live to this day. And also many Tatar princes and murzas with their squads left the Horde for Russian service at different times. This whole element is currently called mishar.

VII. About the name Mishar.

The Turkic tribes have a custom to call themselves and their neighbors by the names of their leaders (Uzbek, Nogai, Chagatai, etc.), or by the names of settlements. For example, the Turks call the Russians in general by the name "Moskov", the Volga Bulgars were also known by their main city. The Mishars of the Nizhny Novgorod province call the Tatars the name "Kazan", the Astrakhan Nogai call them "Kazans". Mishar murzas in the Ufa province are known in Bashkiria under the name "Toman" as they came out of Temnikov, Tambov province. The Mishars of the Ryazan province generally call themselves "KaciM", and the city of Kasimov is called "Kirman".
In the cities of Moscow and Astrakhan, there are many Mishars from the Nizhny Novgorod province, who are generally known under the name "Nizhgorod", as they call themselves. The city of Kasimov, before being occupied by the Tatars, was called "Meshchera", as well as "Meshchersky town". The name of the ancestor of the new settlers (Kasim) gradually replaced the ancient name, which later passed to the people who lived in it (and in its region). The Kazan Tatars imposed this name without distinction on all the Tatars of the Volga region, speaking one common dialect.
