Since the 1980s of the 20 century ideology, and then the
practice of the so-called “Pure Islam” began, under external influence,
to sneak actively to the territory of Russia. Its adherents entered into
irreconcilable confrontation with the supporters of traditional Islam and
it resulted in the emergence and development of religious and political
extremism and terrorism under the guise of Moslem beliefs. In this
regard, it seems relevant to find out whether the so-called “pure Islam,”
free from the influence of ethnicity and traditional values really exists.
