Russia's Faith Conflict: When Prayer Becomes Provocation - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD

[TexasTowelie]

Russia is undergoing a quiet but profound demographic transformation. With high birth rates in Muslim regions, steady migration, and population decline among ethnic Russians, Muslims are becoming an increasingly visible part of the country’s future.

In this episode of Eastern Express, we look at how Islam – long rooted in the Volga, the Urals, and the Caucasus – is now reshaping life far beyond those regions. From Central Asian migrants praying in bus stations, to growing Muslim communities altering the social landscape of major cities, the change is impossible to ignore.

So what happens when faith meets demographic shift?
What does this mean for a state built on the idea of “Russkiy Mir”?
And how is the Kremlin responding to a transformation it publicly avoids acknowledging?

A deeper look into the religious and demographic forces quietly redefining Russia.
