Islam and Moscow’s Middle East Policy

Volume : (7), Issue : 5, January - 2019

Abstract : The Radicalization of Russian Islam , At the beginning of the Arab Spring, the religious aspect of the revolutions did not seem to be alarming for the West nor for Russia.  As events escalated, this aspect turned out to be essential for Russia especially on the domestic level. In fact, the manifestation and reign of Islamism echoed with the Muslim population inside Russia and led to the emergence of opposition movements inside the country.As protests in Russia broke open in parallel to those in the Arab nations, Russia was anxiously concerned with the effect the Arab Spring could have on its domestic situation.
