This dissertation offers an early-nineteenth-century urban history of Kazan, a provincial capital located on the Volga River in the Russian heartland. Kazan was a city that encapsulated the Russian Empire in microcosm. Its past was colorful, dominated by the conquest of the Khanate of Kazan by the Muscovite army of Ivan IV in 1552. In the centuries that followed, it developed into a prosperous and celebrated provincial center, marked by rich ethnic, religious, and social diversity (encompassing Muslim Tatars, Orthodox Russians, German Lutherans, and “Old Believer” Orthodox dissenters, among others). It was linked into transnational trade routes and far-flung networks of European and Islamic intellectual exchange, and increasingly independent from the cultural and economic hegemony of the capitals of St. Petersburg and Moscow. This project chooses Kazan as the ideal site to explore empire at the small-scale. It moves the bureaucrats and their edicts to the wings of the stage, in order to foreground the political, social, intellectual, and imaginative engagements of non-state actors—thereby re-conceptualizing empire as a web of relationships between imperial subjects and communities.
