  • Russia 2012 International Religious Freedom Report
    RUSSIA 2012 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution provides for freedom of religion; however, other laws and policies restrict religious freedom. In practice the government generally respected religious freedom, but imposed restrictions that affected members of minority religious groups. These included the use of extremism charges to ban religious materials and restrict groups’ right to assemble, detentions, raids, denial of official registration with the Ministry of Justice, denial of official building registration, and denial of visas to religious workers. There is no state religion, but the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) and other “traditional” religious communities received preferential consideration. The trend in the government’s respect for religious freedom did not change significantly during the year. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. Members of minority religious groups continued to experience harassment and occasional physical attacks. Violent extremism in the North Caucasus region and an influx of Central Asian migrant workers led to negative attitudes in many regions toward traditionally Muslim ethnic groups. The U.S. ambassador addressed religious freedom in consultations with government officials; he also met with religious leaders and participated in events to promote religious tolerance. Other U.S. embassy and U.S. government officials raised the treatment of minority religious groups with government officials on numerous occasions. The U.S. government engaged a number of religious groups and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in a regular dialogue on religious freedom. Embassy staff actively monitored possible violations of religious freedom. Section I. Religious Demography According to the Government Statistics Agency, the population is 143.2 million.

  • “Our Religious Mentor”: Musa Bigeev and the Tatars in Finland
    “OUR RELIGIOUS MENTOR”: MUSA BIGEEV AND THE TATARS IN FINLAND Islam Zaripov & Ramil Belyaev Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences & University of Helsinki The influence of progressive Muslim theologian Musa Jarullah Bigeev (1875–1949) on the Tatar community in Finland during the first half of the twentieth century is the focus of this article. Bigeev was very popular among the Tatar bourgeoisie in Russia and the diaspora abroad. Already at an early stage of his career he became widely known as the “Muslim Luther”. We briefly describe the scientific biography of this theologian, his relations with the Tatars in Finland and personal memo- ries from visiting the country. The main part of the study presents an analysis of the perception of his ideas by a few important community leaders in Finland, Weli-Ahmed Hakim, Zinnetullah Ahsen Böre and Habibur-Rahman Shakir, as reflected in their correspondence and publications. This article also provides examples of Bigeev’s recommendations to the community on various issues of their ethno-confessional life, transmitted through letters to its leaders. The recommenda- tions include a range of aspects from the establishment of an organization and development of the community’s education system to questions of religious practice and personal spiritual growth. His ideas contributed to the adaptation of the Tatars to Finnish society and simultaneously to the preservation of Tatar culture, language and identity. INTRODUCTION From the earliest period of its formation, the Tatar community in Finland has successfully combined deep integration in Finnish and European society with the development of their own ethno-confessional identity and infrastructure.

  • Building Belonging in Muslim Moscow: Identity and Group Practices in the Post-Soviet Capital
    Building Belonging in Muslim Moscow: Identity and Group Practices in the Post-Soviet Capital Charles Aprile Honors Thesis Submitted to the Department of Sociology and Anthropology in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Bachelor of the Arts Thesis Advisor: Dr. Maya Nadkarni Swarthmore College ABSTRACT Due to the scale of migration that took place after 1991, Moscow is both an ideal and unique space in studies of race, ethnicity and group identity in the of Post-Soviet sphere. Moscow is unique in its history as the center of the multinational Soviet nation-state, as well as its renewed social and economic centrality to much of the former Soviet Union today. The city's layered and contradictory spaces bear testament to how the changing power relations of post-socialist transition affect the embeddedness of group identity in the city's daily life. Due to this layered past, Moscow has a pronounced lack of ethnic or racial residential segregation. This reality necessitates novel frameworks to explain how social belonging and exclusion are spatially inscribed into Moscow's urban fabric. This study uses historical context and ethnographic, interview and participant-observation among Muslim migrants to understand the mechanisms that reproduce, reify, complicate, and splinter Muslim group identities in the Russian capital. In "migrant markets," the findings of this research indicate how Muslims use the spaces to engage in workplace practices that serve to validate their varied cultural, collective and individual identities. At the same time, the stratified occupational structures in markets serve to reify Russian stereotypes against migrants and categorize them as "other." In observing religious activity in Moscow, this study found a serious disconnect between government-approved religious leaders and their supposed constituencies.

  • RELIGIOUS Architecture
    RELIGIOUS RELIGIOUS Religious Architecture: Anthropological Perspectives develops new anthropological perspectives on religious architecture, including mosques, churches, temples and synagogues. Borrowing from a range of theoretical perspectives on space-making and material religion, this volume looks at how religious buildings take their RELIGIOUS place in opposition to the secular surroundings and the neoliberal city; how they, as evocations of the sublime, help believers to move beyond the boundaries of modern subjectivity; and how international heritage status may conflict with their function as community centres. The volume includes contributions from a range of anthropologists, ARCHITECTURE ARCHITECTURE social historians, and architects working in Brazil, India, Italy, Mali, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, and the UK. ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES Oskar Verkaaik is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the Edited by Oskar Verkaaik University of Amsterdam. “Compelling and thought provoking collection of essays by anthropologists on religious architecture that shed new theoretical light on the relation between the material and immaterial in the realm of religion in our so-called secular world.” Jojada Verrips, em. professor of Cultural anthropology, University of Amsterdam Verkaaik (ed.)

Putin was driven in an armored limousine to the president’s palace in Ankara, where R.T. Erdoğan gave him the grand tour of the huge neo- Ottoman building. Comprising over 1000 rooms, the White Palace has been dubbed “Ak Saray” by both the press and the opposition. Differences of opinion between the two heads of state were vigorous and many (from the occupation of Crimea to the Syrian issue). But potential conflicts were tempered by shared interests (in particular energy cooperation) and the rejection of a Western domination denounced by both parties. On 23 September 2015, it was R.T. Erdoğan’s turn to pay a visit to his Russian counterpart. In Moscow, he joined Mahmud Abbas in inaugurating an imposing mosque (46m high with a dome 27m in diameter and costing $170 m).
