Russia's Muslim Population Soars, Hindu Numbers Minimal; 2030 Forecast

• Russia's Muslim population is rapidly increasing, estimated at 7-10% (approx. 25 million) of the current 146 million total population.
• Projections suggest Russia's Muslim population could reach one-third or 180 million by 2030, partly due to migration from Central Asian countries.
• The majority of Russia's population remains Christian (approx. 47%), with 20-25% identifying as non-religious.
• The Hindu population in Russia is very small, accounting for only 0.01% of the total population.

Why It Matters: Russia's demographics are changing, with a rapid increase in its Muslim population.
