Description

The Islamic Peoples of the Soviet Union provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse Muslim communities within the USSR. First published in 1987, this historical and statistical handbook aims to answer fundamental questions about these groups: who they are, where they live, and how many there are. While it is convenient to refer to them collectively as 'Soviet Muslims', the reality is that each ethnic group has distinct characteristics. To accurately represent their differences, the book treats each group individually. This approach allows for a nuanced understanding of the complex social dynamics at play in the USSR's Muslim communities. With 476 pages and a hardcover binding, this book offers a detailed exploration of the Islamic peoples of the Soviet Union.
