| Summary: | This study examines the educational activities and their impacts conducted by Russian Orthodox missionaries in the Saha (Yakut) region. The subject has been evaluated based on the reports kept by the Yakut Statistical Commission and the missionaries. Missionaries have been using the city of Yakutsk as their central location in Far Eastern Siberia since the 1620s. However, in the XVII century, it was quite challenging to mention any official institutions or organizations in terms of education and culture.

Bu çalışmada Rus Ortodoks Misyonerlerin Saha (Yakut) ilinde yapmış olduğu eğitim faaliyetleri ve yansımaları ele alınmıştır. Yakut istatistik komisyonu ve Misyonerler tarafından tutulan raporlar ışığında konu değerlendirilmiştir. Misyonerler Yakutsk şehrini 1620’li yıllardan itibaren Uzak Doğu Sibirya’da merkez olarak kullanmışlardır. Ancak XVII. yüzyılda eğitim ve kültürel açıdan her hangi bir resmi kurum ve kuruluştan bahsetmek oldukça güçtür. Rus tarihçilere göre bunun iki sebebi vardır. ...
