[KavkazUzel] The investigation of two criminal cases of residents of Makhachkala has been completed, one of which joined the ranks of Nurdzhular, and the second - to another religious association, also recognized as extremist, the investigators said.

After the death of the Turkish educator, thinker, philosopher and politician Said Nursi (1878-1960),
...a Turkish Sufi Muslim theologian who was a fierce critic of atheism and secular humanism...
his followers formed the Nurcular
...it has millions of followers around the globe, especially in Turkey, and has been banned in Russia since 2008. They want a Turkic caliphate comprising those regions of the Middle East, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Russia's North Caucasus and Volga regions...
movement. Nursi's books were included in the  all-Russian list  of printed and other materials recognized by the court as extremist.

According to investigators, from 2015 to April 2017, a 32-year-old resident of Makhachkala joined the international religious association Nurcular*. He took part in meetings to study the ideological sources of this extremist organization, investigators believe.

The second accused, a 55-year-old resident of Makhachkala, from 2014 to March 2022, took part in the activities of another religious association, also recognized as extremist. He participated in meetings calling for the creation of a state with a radical form of religious rule, the abolition of secular laws and civil society institutions, the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee for Dagestan reported.

Both residents of Dagestan are charged under part 2 of article 282.2 of the Russian Criminal Code (participation in the activities of an extremist organization). Criminal cases with approved indictments have been sent to court for consideration on the merits, according to a statement published on August 11 on the agency's website.
