Volga Bulgaria

Russia Post issued a stamp on 21st May 2022 to celebrate 1100th Anniversary of the adoption of Islam by Volga Bulgaria depicting the White Mosque in Bolgar.

Volga Bulgaria adopted Islam in 922. The most important event that marked the establishment of Islam in Bulgaria was an exchange of embassies between Almysh and Baghdad Caliph al-Muktadir. Despite the fact that Islam was quite widespread in the Volga region, the achievement of this embassy was the “diplomatic recognition” of Bulgaria as an Islamic country. Since that time, no geographical writing could get along without mentioning the Bulgars, and ties with countries of Islam developed and strengthened.
