Red Mosque, Mosque in Tomsk, Russia.
The Red Mosque is a three-story red brick building on Tatarskaya Street in Tomsk that houses a madrasah and prayer hall. The structure displays regional architecture combined with Islamic design elements.
During the Soviet period, authorities converted the mosque into a vodka production facility before it was later returned to religious use. This transformation reflects the shifting phases of religious freedom in Russia.
The mosque functions as a community hub for Muslims in Tomsk and is actively used by the local Tatar population. It reflects the long-standing presence of Islam in this Siberian city.
The mosque is accessible to visitors, and you should know that prayer times are fixed with lessons occurring in the morning. A market appears on Fridays on the adjacent street where vendors sell various products.
The building was repurposed for decades and now serves its original purpose again, telling a remarkable story of Soviet repurposing. This restoration makes it a symbol of religious revival in Siberia.
