| Summary: | From the sixteenth through to the twentieth century the Siberian Tatars developed into a single ethnic community, and already in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries they began to crystallize into a single historical and ethnic community. A peculiarity of the ethnic processes taking place among them was that as a result of the absence of conditions for transforming the Siberian Tatars into an ethno-social organism, chief of which was their scattered settlement, what happened instead was their consolidation into an ethnos qua ethnikos. This process did not come to fruition, but it did result in the Siberian Tatars conceiving of themselves from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries as a meta-ethnic (interethnic) community, close to an ethnos.

La singularité des processus mis en œuvre tient au fait qu'en l'absence des conditions nécessaires à la transformation des Tatars de Sibérie en un organisme ethno-social, la principale étant l'habitat dispersé, il se forma plutôt une ethnie qui existait en vertu de l'ethnicité de ses membres. Bien qu'inabouti, ce processus amena les Tatars à se considérer, entre la fin du xviiie siècle et ...
