Abstract
In 19th century Russian orientalism has also a tendency different from “scientific” one, in the academical centers of St. Petersburg and Moscow. Missionary orientalism is developped in Kazan, in Kazan Ecclesiastical Academy. At this Academy, a key figure, priest Evfimii Malov acted as a fervent anti-Islamic missionary, used polemical method in his missionary activities and made his circle, face- to-face conversations with medrese’s shakirds and mollas.
