Abstract:
Turkology is one of the oldest and most developed branches of Russian Oriental studies. The
peculiarities of Russian-Turkish relations and Russia’s consequent close interest in the Ottoman
Empire and subsequently in the Republic of Turkey has determined this fact. This article provides detailed information about the historical development of Ottoman and Turkish studies in
Russia in Tsarist, Soviet and post-Soviet periods. Institutional developments, personalities, and
major trends of the scholarly studies on Turkey are studied with special focus on the field of
Turkish history studies. This article shows how the development of Ottoman and Turkish studies was connected to the changes in Russian-Turkish relations and to the phases of the development of Russian Oriental studies.
Keywords: Russian Oriental Studies, Soviet Oriental Studies, Ottoman Studies, Turkish Studies, Russian-Turkish Relations
