As we have already written, Roman Silantyev, the main Islamic scholar of Putin’s Russia (in terms of leading special services against unreliable Muslims), has recently become a «professor» and a «great scientist», a leading expert in new «scientific disciplines» (https://golosislama.com/news.php?id=37621).
But what scientist doesn’t dream of not only creating his own school of thought, but also educating outstanding scholars like himself within it? According to several media reports, «professor-conflictologist» Silantyev is no exception, as he is busy cultivating another rising star of Russian science — Albir Krganov, who, according to Orientalist Azat Akhunov, is working on his dissertation under the former’s supervision. We can only hope that the future professor’s career, unlike that of his academic supervisor, will not be tainted by allegations of 95% plagiarism in his dissertation (https://golosislama.com/news.php?id=29871).
After all, we are talking not only about a mufti, but also about a «Russian nobleman», a title bestowed upon him in 2013 by the head of the «Imperial House of Romanovs», Maria Vladimirovna (a similar empress-like figure to Professor Silantyev). By the way, considering that Krganov will soon become not only a «nobleman» but also a «Doctor of Sciences», there is an opinion that it would no longer be prestigious for him to lead a simple «Spiritual Assembly of Muslims» (SAM). It would be more logical for such a prominent person to head a more significant organization, such as the «Great Spiritual Assembly of Muslims», abbreviated as GSAM.
