abstract = {Today Russian academic centers, including Kazan Federal University, are unique comprehensive
research and education institutions that conduct research on both classical and modern subjects and
implement original professional educational programs. In the history and culture of the peoples of
Russia and the historical and cultural area of Volga-Urals in particular, Kazan University and its
schools of sciences have played an exceptional role. The period from the late 18th to the early 20th
centuries was marked by successful development of Asian and African research in Russia and
Europe. A cohort of outstanding Russian orientalists, who represented many various ethnic groups of
Russia, have provided globally relevant complex philological, historical, archaeological and
ethnographic studies in academic and university centers of our country. Oriental studies became an
important educational and scientific discipline and area of focus starting from the earliest days of the
university community of Kazan. Lecturers and professors of Kazan Imperial University introduced
the society to the history and culture of the peoples of both overseas East and the Eastern part of the
Russian Empire, as well as expanded the understanding of the cultural legacy of both ancient and
modern Asia. The article presents an analysis of the official project developed by the Board of Foreign
Affairs of the Russian Empire and devoted to the formation of Oriental studies (including the
research of Asian and African languages) in Kazan in the early 19th century.},
