Thousandth Anniversary of Islam Mosque

The Thousandth Anniversary of Islam Mosque or The Anniversary Mosque (Russian: Мечеть 1000-летия принятия Ислама, Мечеть Юбилейная – 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 (Russian: Закабанная мечеть, Zakabannaya mecheť; Tatar: Кабан арты мәчете, Qaban artı mäçete, قبان آرتی مسجدی), 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.
