Abstract: The paper examines the history of the establishment and development of the Muslim community - the Ummah of Siberia and the Far East - as well as the participation of various social groups of the Bashkir people in this process. The paper highlights the close ethnopolitical ties of the eastern Bashkir tribes with the Siberian Tatars. After the pacification of the Bashkir uprisings of the XVII-XVIII centuries. Ufa has become one of Russia’s main Islamic centers, which the authors see as an important reason for strengthening the positions of Bashkirians in Siberia. Moreover, the local version of Islam interacted more strongly with pagan beliefs, which required their missionaries to be more flexible.
