Between the 1850s and World War I, about one million Muslims from the Russian Empire’s Caucasus region sought refuge in the Ottoman Empire. In his new book,ÌýEmpire of Refugees: North Caucasian Muslims and the Late Ottoman State,ÌýDr. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky examines how Circassian, Chechen, Dagestani, and other refugees transformed the late Ottoman Empire and how the Ottoman government managed Muslim refugee resettlement.ÌýEmpire of RefugeesÌýargues that, in response to Muslim migrations from Russia, the Ottoman government created a refugee regime, which predated refugee systems set up by the League of Nations and the United Nations. The book further revises our understanding of how Russia used migration policies to govern the Caucasus and its Muslim populations.
