My mistake, I thought Misha had gone to their Russian home:

Elmirza Khozhugov, 26, the ex-husband of Tamerlan’s sister, Ailina, said the Tsarnaevs were not at the mosque frequently until 2008 or 2009, when Tamerlan Tsarnaev met Misha. Khozhugov recalled the visit Misha made to the family home, where he stayed for hours:

Misha was telling him what is Islam, what is good in Islam, what is bad in Islam. This is the best religion and that’s it. Mohammed said this and Mohammed said that. It was late, like midnight. His father comes in and says, ‘Why is Misha here so late and still in our house?” He asked it politely. Tamerlan was so much into the conversation he didn’t listen.

Khozhugov said Tamerlan’s mother, Zubeidat, said:
“Don’t interrupt them. They’re talking about religion and good things. Misha is teaching him to be good and nice.” When Misha would start talking, Tamerlan would stop talking and listen. It upset his father because Tamerlan wouldn’t listen to him as much. He would listen to this guy from the mosque who was preaching to him.
