Religion
A majority of Indians living in Russia are Hindus and with minority populations like Christian of Indian origin and Sikhs. Hinduism has been told of in Russia, though most ignore it, primarily due to the work of religious scholars from the Vaishnava Hindu organization International Society for Krishna Consciousness, Brahma Kumaris and by itinerant swamis from India.[1] There is an active Tantra Sangha operating in Russia.
