Yinli Molla in the Nogai Steppe
The article analyses such a phenomenon as mullahs connected with djinn. Such cult servants took it upon themselves to protect people from the encroachment of invisible but powerful neighbors who could cause people a lot of problems. The phenomenon of “yinli molla” in the Nogai steppe blossomed by the 1930s-40s and died out in the 1980s, becoming a striking element of the “Soviet Islam” constructed by anthropologists. The author declares no confli…
“…He Will Arise With a Scar on His Neck…”. The Body in Islamic Beliefs (Autoethnographic Notes)
The article considers the role of the body in Islamic beliefs through the prism of the author’s own perception. The central subject is the resurrection before the Day of Judgment and the subsequent Eternity, into which each person will also enter bodily. Hence the great attention to the body in Islamic rituals (rites of body purification, the role of burial) and in everyday life of Muslims (obligation to take care of the body). It is connected wi…

A Roundtable. France Against “Separatism” and “Parallel Societies”
The roundtable addressed the foreseeable consequences of, and possible alternatives to, the policy towards Muslim communities in France enunciated in a number of documents, including the new legislation that envisages “strengthening republican principles.” The focus of the roundtable was on the following issues: 1) Does the new legislation correctly identify “Islamic separatism” as the main cause of the problems with the integration of migrants i…
Islam in the North Caucasus
This article is a result of many years of research into the contemporary diversity of cur-rents and forms of Islam in the North Caucasus, which tends to increase further. The work is based on ethnographic field research conducted regularly since the late 1990s in Adygea, Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Ingushetia, Stavropol Territory, and Dagestan. We also used the results of focus groups conducted with students and working youth in Dage…
Karamat (Miracle) as a Basis for Veneration of Mullahs Possessing Jinns (Yinli Molla) and of Saints (Shiikh) in the Nogai Steppe
The article discusses the role of the concept of miracle (karamat) in the worship of two categories of religious authorities of the Nogai steppe: mullahs with genies (jinn) and saints. An analysis of the veneration of mullahs possessing jinn allows us to assert that it was based on their ability to perform miracles. The reputation of a miracle worker accompanied such a mullah throughout his life. However, this miraculous work was not associated w…

Novy Urengoy, in the oil-and-gas rich Yamalo-Nenets autonomous Okrug, became a central place for migrants, giving birth to an active Muslim community that found itself several times under the Russian media spotlight for its division and radicalization. The article looks first at institutional struggle to control the city’s Muslim community, before delving deeper into its ideological divisions and its unity in adapting practices to Far North. It c…
La mobilisation tcherkesse dans la perspective de Sotchi et au-delà
Cet article se concentre sur la tension dans laquelle se trouve pris le renouveau tcherkesse dans le contexte des Jeux Olympiques d’hiver de Sotchi. En effet, la localisation des Jeux intensifie les mobilisations identitaires et conduit les élites du mouvement tcherkesse à se réinterroger sur les fondements de l’identité à promouvoir. Deux tendances travaillent ce renouveau. D’une part, une partie des élites considère comme centrale la composante…
