The full criteria for considering persons to be political prisoners are published on our website. As individuals persecuted in connection with the realization of the right to freedom of religion make up about a half of the total number of political prisoners in Russia, and as their cases of persecution have much in common, their names are compiled in a separate list. None of the individuals on the list used violence, called for violence or planned violent acts. There are 66 individuals named in the list we publish today. Presently, it contains only the names of Muslims, a majority of whom have been accused of participating in the organization of Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami. This list is far from complete. It includes only those individuals and cases for which we have managed to collect and analyze sufficient information for a convincing conclusion to be drawn about the politically motivated and illegal nature of a criminal prosecution. At the present time the list does not contain the names of a large number of people who have been deprived of their liberty, and whose prosecution contains indications of illegality or political motivation, but for whose cases we have either not yet received the required information, or have not yet fully analyzed the information.

These sources are found in the cultural experience, traditions and customs of ancestors. Religion and its high humanistic moral imperatives has an important role in the system of socio-cultural phenomena. The problem of philosophical discourse is the formation of the true hero image. This problem is also topical for the Muslim religion. The authors based on the systematic approach made an attempt to identify theoretically the attitude of the true hero to the avowed cultural values; to justify the conceptual multidimensionality of heroic images in Islam; to determine the nature and essence of heroism. The authors state that in terms of developing optimal strategies and resolving mechanisms the problem of forming the heroic image in Islam according to the modern context is relevant and complex.
