Summary/Abstract |
The Russian Far East is a strategically important region due to its favorable geographical location and rich natural resources. However, several factors make this region vulnerable, one of them being migration processes which have a serious impact on the local social and political situation. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, the region experienced a high inflow of migrants from Central Asia and the South Caucasus, whose ethno-cultural and religious traditions are in stark contrast to the local way of life. Migrants have built Islamic infrastructure and the halal industry in the region, and more and more often they ask for plots of land to build mosques there, occasionally provoking conflicts with local residents. There are also problems caused by the growth of Islamic extremism. In August 2015, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev told the media about attempts by Islamic State (ISIS) emissaries to recruit migrant workers living in the Russian Far East. Some local residents have also gone to the Middle East to join ISIS forces. "Foreign citizens, who may be involved in international terrorist and extremist organizations and illegal armed groups, are now trying to become legalized in taiga villages and major cities of the Russian Far East," Patrushev said.

Summary/Abstract |
Attempts by Putin's Russia for rapprochement with the Moslem world have not allayed mutual distrust. Both Moscow and the Moslem capitals seem to view their mutual sympathy as a showoff of unity, and as a way to confuse the West and perhaps even make it resentful, as neither party has been successful in romancing it.

Summary/Abstract |
Islam is one of the forms of expressing social protest in Muslim regions. Religious phobias will have a negative impact on inter-ethnic conflicts. The Kremlin has little time left to update its policy towards Islam and the Russian Muslim community.

Summary/Abstract |
The great English journalist, writer, poet and novelist Joseph Rudyard Kipling wrote: "Oh, East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet/Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat." Most quoted is usually the first line of Kipling's ballad, while the mention of God's great Judgement Seat tends to be omitted more often than not. In the meantime, its meaning is of no small importance. Later it will be explained why.
