A majority of Indians living in Russia are Hindus, with other populations including Christians of Indian origin, Muslims 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.
↑According to the US State Dept's Russia - International Religious Freedom Report for the year 2006, registered religious organizations in Russia included one "Hindu" and 78 "Krishna" (as well as two "Tantric") while "Moscow's estimated 10,000 Hare Krishna devotees shared their temple with at least 5,000 Indians, Sri Lankans, Nepalese, and Mauritians of other Hindu denominations." https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2006/71403.htm
