The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), founded after Tsarist Russia collapsed with the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, marked the

The authoritarian regimes in the Muslim republics have learned that it is more advantageous to co-opt rather than repress Islam. While the North Caucasus have had more serious security threats to contend with than other parts of Russia, the choice in the early 2000s to repress Muslims was not effective. Saidbaev and Rustem Shukurov of Moscow State University agreed that Russia’s Muslims are tolerant and reject radicalism, but they were also concerned that there is a lack of Islamic teaching and theology in Russia. According to Shukurov, „the well-known ideological conception of Brezhnev, according to which the entire population of the Soviet Union would

But in most former Soviet republics surveyed, including Russia, more people give Chinese companies a good rating than a bad rating.

After perestroika, an Islamic movement emerged as a form of political protest. But secular nationalism and ethnic conflict within and between the new republics also provided political dynamics. Throughout the time of change, Islam has served as

The Soviet Union attempted to challenge Islam intellectually with Marxist dogma and suppressed any public manifestation of Islam. Throughout the history of the Soviet Union and its dealings with Islam and the people of Central Asia, outright repression through to co-option was the mechanisms employed by the state.

Complex refugee and displacement problems have emerged in the former Soviet Union as a result of numerous ethnic conflicts, causing increasing concern at UNHCR and among the international community.

This chapter reflects on how Muslims, in both majority and minority contexts, have interfaced with broader societal communities and states to (re)define the role of religion in the „post-colonial moment“ from specific case studies of Indonesia, Pakistan, the Soviet Republics of Central Asia, Singapore, India, and Burma/Myanmar.

The most remarkable feature of the Soviet Union’s demography is its ethnic diversity. More than 90 ethnic groups are indigenous to the territory of the Soviet Union. Ethnic Russians composed only 50.8 percent of the population according to preliminary 1989

Abstract Long associated with its aggressive promotion of atheism, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union adopted a nuanced, flexible, and often contradictory approach toward Islam in the USSR’s largest Muslim region, Central Asia. “Soviet and Muslim” demonstrates how the Soviet state unwittingly set in motion a process of institutionalization

Western Civilization II: Chapter 30 Flashcards

In 1989, as part of new Soviet policies that relaxed religious restrictions throughout the country, a number of new Muslim associations were formed and many of the mosques that had been closed by the government were reopened. The Soviet government also announced plans to permit the education of a limited number of imams in the cities of Ufa and Baku. Islam is the largest religion practiced in Kazakhstan, with 69.3% of the country’s population being Muslim according to the 2021 census.

Of particular relevance to understanding the current situation of religious minorities in Russia is the fact that criminal prosecution in the Soviet Union happened on the basis of anti-Soviet or antisocial activities rather than beliefs and practices. This strategy placed the right to religious freedom outside the legal frame of

Although the Bolsheviks proclaimed to national minorities that they intended to ensure self-determination, cultural protection, and freedom from economic oppression (from both imperialism and the national-bourgeoisie/ruling class in border territories), the reality of Soviet national policy in the early Soviet Union proved otherwise. Instead, such promises were used There are a variety of religious minority communities in Ukraine, though considerably less than many other European states. The Crimean Tatars are a Muslim ethnic group indigenous to the Crimean Peninsula. They were systematically deported under the Soviet Union, but have nonetheless maintained the largest Muslim population in Ukraine.

Deportations are one of the most tragic pages in Soviet history, and continue to be a sensitive issue for many members of the repressed ethnic and

The Soviet Union also shifted its support in favour of the Arab cause against Israel during this time, leading most countries of the Eastern Bloc to sever diplomatic ties in 1967; these included the Soviet Union itself, as well as Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Bulgaria. And what could they achieve under highly authoritarian rule? Such questions are raised by the ERC-project “In Pursuit of ‘Legality’ and ‘Justice’ – Minority Struggles in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union” (2023-2028).

Despite this, many Muslim communities kept their faith alive in secret. Since the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991, Islam has made a big comeback in Russia. New mosques have been built, and Islamic education has seen a revival.

Seven plus decades of an atheist legacy under the Soviet Union also left its mark on how Islam is viewed among the Kazakh Muslim population today, which makes the history and evolution of Islam in the region as a worth exploring topic.
