NOTE OF THE EASTERN DEPARTMENT OF THE OGPU " On MEASURES TO COMBAT MONOTHEISM (1926)"
ПУБЛ., ВСТУП. ARTICLE AND COMMENT BY D. Y. ARAPOV The Bolsheviks officially declared their benevolent attitude towards Islam and Muslims, the second largest confessional group in Russia (after the Orthodox), in the first days after they came to power1.
