Abstract
The paper is devoted to the study of Ishanism in Perm region. By the Ishanism in Russian islamology is meant a particular form of Su-fi sm in the Volga-Ural region, which have had its own followers not only in the Muslim clergy, but also in various strata of educated Muslims. The author took oral interviews in Perm looking for the followers of ishan Zaynullah Rasulev today. Ishanism in the Volga-Ural region as a whole, and in the Perm region in particular was associated with Rasulev as the most famous ishan. The study of the archival case called “Anti-Soviet Organization of Ishanism” (1948) helped to clarify the destinies of the arrested Muslims. Since they have received sentences as followers of ishanism (there is the name of Zaynullah Rasulev in the archival document), it was important to verify the interrogation protocols and other documents by means of oral history. Oral historical sources allow us to investigate postmemory, i.e. the memory of the living generations about the events of the past, in this case about the Ishanism traditions in Perm region during the Soviet period. The oral interviews have revealed the actual Zaynullah Rasulev’s followers in Perm region. As a result of the study it is possible to conclude: before the Revolution in Troitsk Zaynullah Rasulev’s madrasah which was called “Rasuliyyah” there were Muslims from Perm region. In addition, oral interviews suggested that the Muslims arrested in 1948 were Ishanist.
