Religion
A majority of Indians living in Russia are Hindus, with other populations including Christians of Indian origin and Sikhs. Hinduism is practised in Russia, though most ignore it, primarily by followers of the Vaishnava Hindu organization International Society for Krishna Consciousness, Brahma Kumaris and by itinerant swamis from India.[1] There is an active Tantra Sangha operating in Russia.
