Hıristiyanlık, Aydınlanma ve Kolonyalizm: Rusya, Kuzey Kafkasya’da, 1550-1800

Kuzey Kafkasya’nın 1820’lerdeki askeri fethinden önce bölgedeki Rus kolonileştirme anlayışına makul bir şüpheyle yaklaşılabilir. Aslında, Rusya’nın emperyal genişlemesi ile kolonyal deneyimi, odağı belli ve yeniden değerlendirme çalışmalarının nesnesi olacak ve kapsamlı kolonyal çalışmalara dâhil edilecek kadar hızla meydana gelmedi. Daha erken tarihli kaynakların yetersizliği ve sonraki yüzyılların, bugünkü durumla daha kapsamlı bir ilgisi olduğuna dair doğrulanması her zaman mümkün olmayan bir varsayım nedeniyle, erken Rusya İmparatorluğu’nu ilgilendiren konular, Rus emperyalizmiyle ilgili 19. ve 20. yüzyıllarda yapılan daha büyük çalışmalarda sınıflandırıldı

A Colonial Empire Without Colonies: Russia’s State Colonialism in Comparative Perspective

Syrien unter der Herrschaft der Osmanen bietet Anlass, das Konzept von Kolonialismus zu hinterfragen. Über vier Jahrhunderte hinweg (1516–1918) herrschte das Osmanische Reich über die vorwiegend arabischsprachige Bevölkerung des syrischen Gebiets. Aufgrund der Ansiedlung neuer Bevölkerungsgruppen, der ökonomischen Ausbeutung durch Beamte und der Kooptation von „kriegerischen“ oder „tribalen“ Gemeinschaften in die imperiale Ordnung hat die osmanische Herrschaft in Syrien eine zumindest oberflächliche Ähnlichkeit mit dem modernen Kolonialismus. Allerdings ist die Geschichte des Osmanischen Reiches in Syrien komplizierter, als es die binäre Unterscheidung von Kolonisatoren und Kolonialisierten den Anschein erweckt. Denn das Osmanische Sultanat verwandelte sich selbst aus einem mächtigen vormodernen Imperium in einen bedrängten modernen Staat mit defensiver Haltung. Die osmanische Herrschaft in Syrien veranschaulicht weniger einen „türkischen Kolonialismus“ als vielmehr den Versuch einer älteren imperialen Herrschaftsordnung, sich den neuen und widrigen Umständen moderner Staatlichkeit anzupassen.This paper argues that the Russian empire was a colonial empire in denial. Similar to other European empires, Russia’s policies and practices were colonial in nature. It was particularly so in the Asian parts of the empire, where Russian expansion evolved from a non-settler to a settler form of colonialism. However, unlike other European empires, Russian authorities consistently and consciously denied Russia’s colonial nature. What distinguished the Russian empire from its European counterparts was the dominant role of the state and a type of state colonialism that European empires began to practice at a much later stage
