#1 I was shocked (really) to see that Ufa is a moslem region. It's slightly south of (and a long way east of) Moscow. Has Islam invaded that far? Or is Bashkortostan another of those regions created by Stalin when he moved entire populations around in the 30s and 40s?

#2 Jackal, Hopefully we'll get a response from some of the RusskyBurgers, but I am guessing that Islam penetrated that far north during the time of the Mongol overlords.

#4 Arguably, the break up of the Soviet Union was a demographic necessity as ethnic Russians were at the point of becoming a minority. The same thing will happen in Russia as the Turkic (mostly moslem) peoples have a much higher birthrate. There are several moslem stans within Russia, including Tartarstan.
