ABSTRACT

      This article is about the intercultural influences between the Turkish peoples in the Idel-Ural region and Kazakhstan at the end of the XIX- and the beginning of the XX centuries.
The factors which promoted the movement in this direction can be enumerated as follows: the development of the idea of the Turkic people's rebirth on the basis of enlightment, education, the development of culture in a native language, the establishment of equality of Turkic-Muslim and Slavic - Christian peoples in Russia.
So, the ideas of Jadidism, the struggle for equal opportunities in education acquired much importance in the life of Muslim peoples.
The movement for the "Europeanization" of education was led by a powerful Tatar bourgeoisie, concentrated in Orenburg, Orsk, Troitsk, Kazan, Ufa. Cultural rapprachement among these peoples is especially important in this process.
