Let us continue exploring the history and traditions of different peoples in Russia with @TVBRICS and Prodvizhenie Channel

📍The Bashkirs – a Turkic ethnic group indigenous to Russia. They are concentrated in Bashkortostan, a republic of the Russian Federation.

Most Bashkirs speak the Bashkir language closely related to the Tatar and Kazakh languages, with them belonging mainly to Sunni Muslims. Nowadays Bashkortostan with its capital in Ufa is the spiritual center for all Muslims in Russia. More than three hundred mosques, an Islamic institute and several madrasahs operate in the Republic.

☝️Previously nomadic and fiercely independent, the Bashkirs gradually came under Russian rule beginning in the 16th century; they have since played a major role through the history of Russia, culminating in their autonomous status within the Russian Empire, Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia.
