| description | The work focuses on the study of Kazan mosques of the first centuries of the Russian period. The relevance of the topic is due to its insufficient elaboration within the framework of the history and theory of architecture. White spots in the history of the architecture of Tatarstan require searching for new sources and approaches to studying Muslim architecture of the second half of the 16th – the first half of the 18th centuries, the period when construction of mosques was prohibited. Based on the analysis of chronicle, cartographic, archival, historical and architectural sources, it was established that after the “capture of Kazan,” ancient mosques were occasionally preserved or new mosques were built illegally in Kazan and in other settlements of the former Kazan Khanate. To designate newly built mosques, the author introduces the term “illegal mosque” as a type of mosque with a reduced social, functional and aesthetic program, built without the permission of the authorities. In some cases, elected representatives from Tatar residents got permissions to build mosques even before the legalization of Islam in the beginning and in the middle of the 18th century. Certain typological features of illegal mosques of the Old Tatar Quarter have been revealed. |
