The Thousandth Anniversary of Islam Mosque

Kazan, Russia · built 1926

The Thousandth Anniversary of Islam Mosque or The Anniversary Mosque (1000, Mecheť 1000-letiya prinyatiya Islama, Mecheť Yubileynaya) was built in Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia to commemorate the thousandth anniversary of the conversion of the Volga Bulgars in to Islam in 922. The alternative name of the mosque, and the most commonly used name, is The Mosque Across the Kaban (Zakabannaya mecheť, Qaban artı mäçete), because most of Kazan's mosques are situated on the other side of the Qaban, where the Tatar community was traditionally located before the October Revolution. The part where the mosque was situated was inhabited predominantly by the Russian community.
