Paper long abstract:

The experience of the historical residence of the Turk-Tatar diaspora on the territory of the Japanese and Russian Empires, and then Soviet Russia, and in the post-war period in the democratic countries of the West, such as the United States, Australia, Turkey, shows an example of a network society of national communities that connect the multi-national civil society of various national states and empires of the 20th century. Cultures and ideas are exchange through these migrant groups. The meeting of two very distant cultures, Islamic and Japanese, through the interaction of nationalists of both cultures in the name of Pan-Asianism, is unique for modern history. This cultural and intellectual exchange carried out mainly in Manchuria and in Japan.

This presentation explores the history of mutual influence of a migrant culture that felt that it had a historical and cultural mission and imperial nation through exchanging ideas at the territory of Manchukuo.
