Summary:The paper deals with the procedure of election and appointment of the first Taurida Muftis. The activity of Muftis is displayed in the process of integration of the Crimean Muslim population to the Russian Empire composition. The authors study the actions of the Russian government concerning the establishment of the dialogue with the Crimean Tatar people in the person of Taurida Muftis. The role of local administration in the person of Taurida region leaders in the solution of burning issues of Muslim population of the peninsula is shown. The Senator I. V. Lopuhin’s papers are analysed regarding the establishment of Taurida Mohammedan spiritual rule in the peninsula. The lack of arrangement in Muslim Spiritual Board continued until 1831 when "Regulations on the Taurida Mohammedan clergy and the spiritual state of the board" was settled as a law.
