Note 64 — Chapter VIII · THE SPREAD OF ISLAM AMONG THE MONGOLS AND TATARS.
Reading edition
It would appear that not until after the promulgation of the edict of religious toleration in 1905 throughout the Russian empire and the active Muslim propaganda that followed it, were cases observed of Russians being converted to Islam, and those that have occurred are ascribed to the strong attraction of the material help offered by the Tatars to such converts and the influence of the moral strength of the Muslims themselves.64
