Abstract
The branches of the family of Simbirsk industrialists Akchurins, from which the wife of the public figure and publisher Isma‘il Gasprinsky Zukhra Akchurin (1862–1903) comes, lived in different cities of the Russian Empire. Since the end of the 19th century, the Akchurins also lived in Moscow, becoming important figures of the local Tatar-Muslim community life. Consideration of the Moscow Akchurins history allows us not only to determine the genealogical ties of one of the most famous Tatar families, but also to outline the circle of Moscow acquaintances of Isma‘il Gasprinsky. Such social ties come as noticeable distribution channels for the “Terjiman” newspaper published by Gasprinsky.
