📝The rope can only twist so much📝 They started stirring up the DUM. Or is it more complicated than that? Over the past few years, the Spiritual Administration of Muslims (DUM) has found itself at the center of so many scandals that the question arose: when would those responsible finally pay attention to the antics of its representatives? Apparently, that day has come. In Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other cities, arrests of DUM clergy members have begun. Among them is our old acquaintance — Mufti of Karelia Visam Bardwil: we wrote about his connections to the terrorist organization "Muslim Brotherhood" back in 2021. The detainees are linked to the circle of Mufti Ravil Gainutdinov — an equally scandalous figure known for both provocative statements like supporting illegal prayer rooms and regular trips to Turkey for events involving radicals. ❗️Upon seeing such news, one might get the impression that a "DUM cleanup" has begun. However, this is not the case. 🖍The Spiritual Administration of Muslims itself is not entirely a uniform structure; within it there are its own "towers" and "centers of power." There is even a kind of competition between them on different tracks. 🚩The arrests have actually affected only the part connected with the aforementioned Gainutdinov, and it is far from certain that for most it will not end with interrogation and witness status. As for the other parts of DUM, what is happening passed them by. And yet arrests within this structure are something new: previously, sanctions were limited only to administrative measures. Who knows, perhaps for DUM functionaries this will be a reason to be more careful about their public statements and actions. #religion #Russia ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX ✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg
