RECIPROCITY OR CONFLICT: INTERCONFESSIONAL SITUATION AROUND MUSLIM SHRINES IN THE CRIMEA
The research discusses the problem of interconfessional communication and traditions of sharing sacred places on the Crimean peninsula which have been reflected both in literary sources and memories. Social and demographic changes in the 20th century (forced migrations, Soviet state policy in religion, repatriation) caused the complete extinction of interreligious practices of sharing. In recent years, Muslim shrines have obtained not only religious symbolism, but also a political meaning in the discourse of belonging to the place and historical rights for the territory between divergent social actors.
