 Union of Councils for Soviet Jews: Window on Eurasia: The Frightening ‘New Russian Order’ in Sergiyev Posad
Tartu, October 25 — The beatings of Muslims in Sergiyev Posad, the seat of the Russian Orthodox Church, suggestions by Patriarchate officials that the Muslims should not be there in the first place, and the efforts of the militia and prosecutors to downplay this event continue to spark discussion in the Moscow media.
The current scandal began when a group of eight young men broke into the Muslim prayer house in Sergiyev Posad on October 14, shouting slogans like “Russia for the Russians” and “There is no place here for Muslims” and beating the local imam Arslan Sadriyev so severely that he had to be hospitalized.
One, quoted by Soldatov, said that Sergiyev Posad “is an exclusively Orthodox territory, and the establishment of Muslim cult building here is impossible,” a statement that other officials backed away from after it drew media criticism.
