Abstract
The article considers the national movement of the local indigenous people in Xinjiang in the second half of the 1940s and the influence of Islam on this process. The nationalimovement that involved uprisings was due to a number of complex socio-economic and political factors. In this article, the author reflects on the influence of Islam and Islamic clergy on the political processes of the region. Religion has traditionally played an important role in the lives of the indigenous peoples of the Northweof China. Sunni Islam influences the tradition of social and domestic relations, interethnic interaction and it is the ideological basis of the national struggle for liberation. The article infers that essentially the EaTurkestan Republic in Xinjiang (1945-1949) was an Islamic state. However, in the face of opposition of the Kuomintang, the CommuniParty of China and the Soviet Union, an alternative national and religious scenario in was never to be implemented.
