В статье анализируются источники по истории ислама в культуре народов Севера на примере обских угров (народов ханты и манси), сибирские летописи, произведения декоративно-прикладного искусства, этнографические материалы. В методологическом плане обосновывается концепция "обедненной жизненной среды", которая объясняет механизм культурных заимствований в условиях Севера. Авторы приходят к выводу, что степень проникновения ислама в обско-угорскую культуру была такова, что привела к ассимиляции некоторых групп ханты и манси сибирскими татарами, и единственный сохранившийся народ из числа исламизированных (тюркизированных) ханты -заболотные татары.

В статье анализируется икона XVII в. "Спас Нерукотворный "Не рыдай Мене, Мати"" из фондов Государственной Третьяковской галереи. Авторы обращают внимание на цветовую гамму иконы, в том числе на доминирование не характерного для православия оранжевого цвета и использование зеленых тонов при изображении креста. Икона сопоставляется с другими известными образцами православного искусства, созданными для христианизации неправославных народов, в том числе с "Иисусом Благословляющим" из Пинакотеки Ватикана и коллекцией икон из фондов Государственного краеведческого музея Иркутской области. Делается вывод, что "Спас Нерукотворный" предназначался для христианизации мусульман и буддистов Сибири.

The subject of this research is the written historical sources that contain the term “Shaitan” and indicate the non-Orthodox nature of its origin in the history and culture of Finno-Ugric population of Ural and Siberia. Methodological framework is comprised of the Frontier Thesis by F. Turner. Historically, the traditional culture of Finno-Ugric peoples of Ural and Siberia was influenced by Muslim and Christian missionaries. Although in the XVII century, retained the influence of the Muslim – descendants of the Kazan and Siberian Khanates, it was also the influence of the Russian Orthodox Church. Such combination substantiated twofold processes in the history of Finno-Ugric peoples. The research employs the comparative-historical method that reveals the degree of Christian and Muslim influence upon the formation of the image of “Shaitan” and its use in the culture of Finno-Ugric peoples. The ehnographic materials collected and published prior to 1917 authored by N. Witsen, G. I. Novitsky, K. F. Karjalainen, and I. N. Smirnov served as the source base for this work. The use of the term “Shaitan” in Finno-Ugric cultures of Ural and Siberia has not been previously associated with the Muslim influence; this approach is implemented for the first time. The authors are also first to publish the field materials, which mention Num-Torum as the “former Muslim god”. The conclusion is made that relatively to the XVII century, there was no single (Christian) method of infiltration of the term “Shaitan” into local cultures, as for a long time, Finno-Ugric peoples of Ural and Western Siberia were under the influence of Muslims. The signs of such influence were replaced by Christianity throughout centuries, and the Islamic norms in the culture of Finno-Ugric peoples gradually faded away.

The subject of this research is the written and visual sources on the history of Ob Ugrics, which reflect the images of White Horse and White Deer. The sources include the ethnographic materials and artifacts from the shamanic temples of Ugra with the depiction of horse and deer. The goal of this article lies in drawing parallel between the images of the White Horse in Islamic and Ob Ugric cultures. Research methodology leans on the " Theory of Impoverished living environment" substantiated by the authors in previous research, according to which the severe (impoverished) natural and climatic conditions of Siberia create a psychological foundation for cultural borrowings for the indigenous peoples, when the elements of foreign cultures are being perceived as native. The article employs the comparative-historical method to collate the perception of White Horse among Siberian Tatars and Ob Ugrics. Establishment of the traces of Islam in Ob Ugric culture through examination of the visual sources is new to historical science. The topic of studying the "Tatar-Muslim period" in the history of Finno-Ugric population of Western Siberia, when in the process of religious impact upon the indigenous population, the representatives of Islam did not have competitors in the face of Orthodox missionaries, is poorly studied in Russian history. The conclusion is made that the image of White Horse in Ob Ugric culture is associated with the Tatar-Muslim influence, and reflects the Quranic plotline of ascension of the Prophet Muhammad into heaven on the White Horse Burak.
