Putin: “Traditional Islam is an integral part of the Russian cultural code, and the Muslim Ummah [community], without any doubt, is a very important component of the multinational Russian people."

Thousands of young radicalized Russians have travelled to Iraq and Syria to join jihadist fighters in recent years, making the country the largest source of foreign fighters in the war-torn region.

President Vladimir Putin has promised government backing for Islamic religious education in Russia, in a bid to stave extremism and cater to Russia’s large Muslim community.....Up to 20 million Muslims make up Russia’s second-largest religious minority.

What is your point? There are Muslims in Russia? Its pretty clear to me. Putin intends that his government, and the successors he tries to put in place, controls Islamic religious teaching in Russia, probably even more than the government's control over the Orthodox church. 20 millions Muslims have to be dealt with and governed - no one can just send them away.
