Hinduism in Russia
Encyclopedia : H : HI : HIN : Hinduism in Russia
Hinduism has been spread in Russia primarily due to the work of missionaries from the religious organization International Society for Krishna Consciousness from the West and by itinerant swamis from India. There is an active Tantra Sangha operating in Russia. A large centre is being built in Moscow, which was initially opposed by the Orthodox Church. Hinduism claims to have 100,000 followers in Russia.
