Muslim Petersburg. Historical guide-book. The life of Muslims in St. Petersburg and its suburbs

The book is a comprehensive study of the Muslim community in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region during the 18th and early 20th centuries. It examines the lives and contributions of many prominent Muslim figures from Russia, including scientists, architects, doctors, soldiers, merchants, and others. Those individuals were based in St. Petersburg and played significant roles in the city's history and culture.

During this time period, the city hosted Muslim congresses, published newspapers dedicated to the Muslim community, and supported various public and religious organizations. Those events and activities had a direct impact not only on the Muslims living in St. Petersburg but also on their fellow believers across the Russian Empire.

"Muslim Petersburg" is intended for both visitors to the city who have already had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with its main landmarks, as well as for residents of Leningrad/St. Petersburg who wish to learn more about their city. It is also intended for those who have never visited St. Petersburg but are interested in learning about its history. The book explores the history of Muslim communities in the outskirts of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Oblast.
