On October 1, during its 16th Annual Meeting, the Valdai Discussion Club held a special session titled "Russia and the Islamic World: How They Interact and Influence Each Other."
Islam in Russia is one of the traditional religions deeply rooted in the nation’s history and culture. The Russian Islam is connected with the global Ummah, but it preserves and elaborates its own specifics, contributing to both the development of Russia and the international processes. Firsthand knowledge about Islam in Russia will be shared during the session.
