Russia Constructs Over 8,000 Mosques and Islamic Schools in Two Decades

A deputy head of the Russian Mufti Council announced on Tuesday that Russia has successfully erected more than 8,000 mosques and madrasa Islamic schools within the last 20 years. Rushan Abbyasov highlighted the significant progress, stating that prior to the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, Russia boasted over 15,000 mosques, madrasas, and prayer spaces. However, by 1991, only 100 remained.
