The beginning of the 20th century is one of those in which Chuvashes experi-enced the most complicated cultural exchange of their own. G.F Timofeyev as a graduate of Simbir Chuvash Teachers’ college and a as a priest/teacher shed a light on this era by his notes taken in his first place of duty Tıhıryal. The Middle-Volga region in which Russians lived with Turkic tribes as local Tatarians, Chuvashes, Bashkirs and Finnish people as Mordvin, Mari and Udmurt is very interesting regarding ethnical and religious relations. Timofeyev makes observations about some of these people out of the window of the Chuvashes. In these notes there are some remarkable notes just different from today’s point of view. And his notes about the Christians’ and the church’s point of view against the Chuvashes put forward some critical view to Christianity that the Chuvashes accepted as the official religion at the beginning of the 20th century. In this article the Chuvashes which have got stuck between Muslim-Tatarian and Christian-Russian cultures have been analysed for their relations with these two cultures and others and how they perceived each other under the light of G.F Timofeyev’s own notes.
