Talgat Safich Tadzetdinov, better known as Tadzhuddin (Russian: Талгат Сафич Тадзетдинов / Талгат Таджуддин, Tatar: Тәлгать Сафа улы Таҗетдинев, Tälğät Safa ulı Tacetdinev; born 12 October 1948, in Kazan) is a Russian Shaykh al-Islām. He is Grand Mufti of Russia and Chairman of the Central Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of Russia, from 1992 to the present.[1] Tadzhuddin is a polarizing figure in Russia due to his public statements, which include for example suggesting that participants of a pride parade should be attacked physically, and more recently, that Russian invasion of Ukraine is a "necessary measure". Tadzhuddin supports Eurasianism.
