This book, based on extensive original research in the field,
analyses the political, social and cultural implications of the
rise of Islam in post-Soviet Russia. Examining in particular the
situation in Tatarstan and Dagestan, where there are large Muslim
populations, the authors chart the long history of Muslim and
orthodox Christian co-existence in Russia, discuss recent moves
towards greater autonomy and the assertion of ethnic-religious
identities which underlie such moves, and consider the actual
practice of Islam at the local level, showing the differences
between "official" and "unofficial" Islam, how ceremonies and
rituals are actually observed (or not), how Islam is transmitted
from one generation to the next, the role of Islamic thought,
including that of radical sects, and Islamic views of men and
women's different roles. Overall, the book demonstrates how far
Islam in Russia has been extensively influenced by the Soviet and
Russian multi-ethnic context.
