Talgat Safich Tadzetdinov, better known as Tadzhuddin (Russian: Талгат Сафич Тадзетдинов / Талгат Таджуддин, Tatar: Тәлгать Сафа улы Таҗетдинев, Tälğät Safa ulı Tacetdinev; born 12 October 1948, in Kazan) is a Russian Shaykh al-Islām. He is Grand Mufti of Russia and Chairman of the Central Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of Russia, from 1992 to the present.[1] Tadzhuddin is a polarizing figure in Russia due to his public statements, which include for example suggesting that participants of a pride parade should be attacked physically, and more recently, that Russian invasion of Ukraine is a "necessary measure". Tadzhuddin supports Eurasianism.
Chairman of the Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of the European Part of the USSR and Siberia (1980–1992) Chairman of the Central Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of Russia (1992–present)
In 1973, he was elected second imam khatib of the historical Märcani Mosque in Kazan and in 1978 he was elected first imam of the mosque.[1]
On 19 June 1980, he was elected a mufti and chairman of the Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of the European Part of the USSR and Siberia (DUMES), one of four such directorates in the USSR then.[1]
In May 1990, the conference of heads of Muslim Spiritual Directorates of the USSR elected him chairman of the directorate for international relations of the USSR′s Muslim organisations, later the Association of external relations of Muslim organisations, which he still heads.[1]
In 1992, DUMES was transformed into the Central Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of Russia and the European countries of the CIS; the rank of Grand Mufti was created and bestowed on Talgat Tadzhuddin.[1]
In December 2015 Tadzhuddin relinquished his administrative positions.[1][2][3] However, on February 20, 2016, at an expanded meeting of the Presidium of the Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims in Ufa, a decision was made to cancel the farman decree. Thus, T. Tadzhuddin remained at his post.[1]
Tadzhuddin has at least on one occasion claimed that he is a Bulgarian, arguing that Tatars are the descendants of Volga Bulgaria after it fell during the Mongol invasions.[4]
In February 2006, Tadzhuddin joined leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church as well as the city of Moscow government in protesting against a planned gay pride parade in Moscow. He urged Russia's Muslims to stage violent protests if the march went ahead: "If they come out on to the streets anyway they should be flogged. Any normal person would do that - Muslims and Orthodox Christians alike [...] [The protests] might be even more intense than protests abroad against those controversial cartoons."[5][6]
Tadzhuddin supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine and blames the Ukrainian government and "the Western world" for "trying to arrange a genocide [of the Russian people] and revive fascism".[7]
Tadzhuddin supports Eurasianism and believes that Muslims and Christians in Russia together form a "unique civilization".[8]
