Agnès Kefeli-Clay, The popular Islam of the Christian Orthodox Tatars in the nineteenth century. Over the course of the nineteenth century, several thousand Christian Tatars (whose ancestors had adopted Orthodoxy in the 1500's and 1700's) asked to be officially recognized as Muslims. An analysis of their protest sheds light on the transmission of traditional Koranic knowledge and Tatar resistance to Russian attempts to assimilate them. Tatar Islam succeeded in reintegrating these Christians primarily through the efforts of itinerant indigenous mullahs, who brought Sufi books from Central Asia, and commercial traders who travelled regularly back and forth between the Christian and the Muslim world. In addition, Muslim missionaries very effectively assimilated and exploited networks of pre-Islamic and pre-Christian sacred places. The popular Islam adopted by these erstwhile Christian Tatars reflected the Islam of the larger Tatar peasant community, an Islam which Muslim reformers (ğadids) later reacted against.
