Hinduism in Russia

|
Hinduism has been spread in Russia primarily due to the ISKCON missionaries from the West and by itinerant swamis from India. There is a 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.
