For Maverick Minds ONLY

4 page analytical history&theology paper

Due date: Monday, November 23rd at 11pm according to New York's time. I have to submit it at midnight, so your punctuality is appreciated.

I go to a top-notch university, so my papers are expected to be of high quality in terms of writing and substance.

The paper is for my theology class, which is called "Religion in Russia."

The paper's topic is "Islam in Russia." You need to look at:

the history of the encounters between Russians and Muslims,

Muslims and Islam inside the Russian Empire,

Ivan the Terrible's policies against Islam in Russia,

Catherine the Great's policies towards Muslims,

Relationship between Russian Orthodoxy and Islam,

Communism's effects on Islam in Russia,

Demographics of Muslims in Russia

Legal situation of Islam in Russia

and the development in Russian-Muslim relationships after the fall of Soviet Union in 1991.

DO NOT PLAGIARIZE. DO NOT CITE WIKIPEDIA.
