The reference of Z.R. Habibulina's dissertation paper "The Muslim clergy of Bashkortostan at the turn of XX-XXI centuries"
Candidate for a degree Z.R. Habibulina considers that in Bashkir society there are no conditions for establishment of a theocratic state. Showing loyalty to the authorities, the Muslim clergy has no tendency to appropriate political and public functions. At the same time, it is repeatedly mentioned in the dissertation that radical and extremist groups, especially in the youth environment. (the Wahhabis and others)originate more and more frequently in towns and working settlements of Bashkortostan.
