History and profile
[edit]Shura was established by Muhammad Shakir and Zakir Ramiyev.[1] It was inspired from the Arabic magazine Al Manār which was edited by Rashid Rida in Cairo.[2][3] Shura was first published 10 January 1908.[1][4] It was a supplement of the daily newspaper Waqt which was in circulation between 1906 and 1918, and both publications were based in Orenburg.[2][5] Shura was published in Tatar language on a biweekly basis, on the first and fifteenth day of each month.[1][4] The editor of Shura was a reformist religious official, Rizaeddin bin Fakhreddin.[1][4] The editorial board of the magazine included Musa Jurullah Begiyev, Fatih Karimiy and Jamaliddin Validiy.[1]
Although its readers were Muslims, Shura was deeply influenced from Russian culture.[4] The magazine published translated versions of the articles from Al Manar[2] and other magazines, including Al Liwa.[6] Zakir Ramiyev's poems were published in Shura.[6] The magazine also featured poems about the Turkestani graveyards between 1911 and 1913.[7] The other common topics covered in the magazine were biographies of leading Muslim figures, history of the Turks and linguistics.[3] Shura also featured articles on geography and ethics.[3] The magazine published a very comprehensive obituary for Ismail Bey Gasprinski in four issues in 1914.[4]
In 1917 Shura published the numbers 23 and 24 in combination.[1] The magazine ceased publication in January 1918 when the communists occupied Orenburg and closed it.[3][4][5]
