The State Museum of the History of Religion in St. Petersburg has an interesting speciality – the artifacts stored in it are somehow connected with the spiritual culture and religious traditions of different peoples. The objects, whose origin is connected with the territory of Uzbekistan, provide an opportunity to assess the diversity of religious practices that existed in the region. Thus, the catalog includes archaeological monuments from the Karatepa Buddhist complex, including fragments of wall paintings with images of the Buddha and objects of Zoroastrian ritual practice. The Islamic period is represented by copies of the Quran, lavkhs – special stands for this holy book, prayer mats and embroidery. Particularly interesting is the section dedicated to the St. Petersburg Cathedral Mosque, the construction of which was carried out under the active patronage of the Emir of Bukhara, Seyid Abdul-Ahad Khan. The volume also includes works of fine art. These are works by Russian painters and graphic artists, including Richard-Karl Sommer and Lev Bure, as well as documentary materials from the Fototeka collection and the museum's research and historical archive, one way or another related to the religious life of Uzbekistan.
