Abstract
В статье рассматривается роль Одессы как ключевого транспортного узла в паломническом маршруте российских мусульман. Автор показывает, как на протяжении XIX – начала XX вв. формировалась инфраструктура хадж-индустрии в Одессе, и какое влияние она оказывала на формирование одесской мусульманской общины. Особо отмечается, как сложившаяся в дореволюционный период паломническая инфраструктура Одессы использовалась в советское время для проведения хаджа 1927 г., оказав в целом благоприятное влияние на политику советской власти по отношению к советским паломникам.
