Caucasus and Central Asia. Russia’s opening of the trans-Caucasian and trans-Caspian lines during
the 1880s—the first railroads ever in these regions, built mainly for Russia’s military and economic
purposes—opened up access to the hajj even wider, and drew greater numbers of Muslim pilgrims
out of these regions, through Russian lands, and onto the Black Sea-Constantinople-Jeddah sea
route. On the building of the trans-Caspian railroad in the 1880s to “strengthen Russia’s position
in Central Asia” and as part of its involvement in the “Great Game,” see Frithjof Benjamin Schenk,

Russian-language Turkestanskie vedomosti, the region’s first newspaper, published under the aus-
pices of the viceroy’s office starting in 1870. In 1883 an independent Turkic-language twice-weekly
paper was launched, Turkistan wilayatining gazeti, with a print run of five hundred to six hundred
copies. See E. A. Masonov, “Sh.M. Ibragimov—drug Ch.Ch. Valikhanova,” Vestnik akademii nauk
