Zaratusztrianie i Asyryjczycy w okresie rewolucji konstytucyjnej w Iranie(1905–1911)

The article is based on the assumption that the historical meaning of the Constitutional Revolution of Iran should be investigated not only considering the con-stitution itself, but also the process of socio-political and cultural changes preceding it, as well as the debate over the constitution. Filling the gaps in the research on the minorities of that period, the article discusses the Zoroastrian and Assyrian commu-nities from a comparative perspective. It covers the different situations of the mino-rities at the threshold of the Revolution, as well as the ways they participated in the Constitutional Movement. Comparing two different minority communities contributes to a deep understanding of the social changes taking place in Iran along with the accompanying tensions.
