This book titled “Islamic History of the Central Russia” concerns a most rare and poorly studied subject – the history of Islam in the Central part of Russia. The author has travelled through most of the regions described in this book studying the history of formation and the present state of local Muslim communities. The book is easy and interesting to read. It is addressed not only to Muslims but also to anyone who is interested in the history and culture of nations living in such multiconfessional and multinational country as Russia.
