The spiritual culture of Polish Tatars as an integral element of the Slavic‑Muslim borderlands culture The present article depicts the unique culture of Polish Tatars in the context of their history and the histories of other Muslim cultures in Europe, especially in Bosnia. In particular, this article presents the history of this small ethnic group as well as the specificity of their religious practices in relation to the Ottoman tradition and the culture of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Further, the article discusses the tradition of Sufism (the Bektashi and Jesewije orders), as well as its relations with shamanism and its remains. What is more, the article portrays Tatar writings in comparison with the Muslim written culture in East Europe and in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Subsequently, the article analyses Tatar rites: their forms and changes they have undergone. These forms reflect the uniqueness of the Tatar culture in the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania and in the present-day Poland. The existing forms are combinations of Tatar, Muslim and Slavic spirituality and provide evidence that the Polish Tatar culture is strongly related to Slavic and Muslim cultures, especially the Ottoman culture and the culture of the former Crimean Khanate.   Духовнaя культура польских татар как интегральная часть культуры на славяно-мусульманском пограничье В статье указана специфика культуры польских татар в истории и в контексте других мусульманских культур, существующих в Европе. Автор представил историю этой этнической группы, а также специфическое религиозное сознание в контексте османской империи как соседа древней Речи Посполитой. В статье отмечена также специфика суфийских источников татарских религиозных обрядов. Автор показал религиозную письменность польских татар, ее корни в области языка и литературной традиции. Формы, которые до сих пор сохранились, свидетельствуют об идентичности древней культуры польских татар с культурой османской и бывшего крымского ханства, а также о славянском влиянии.
