here's a funnt information I stumbled upon today:
In the early 900s, Islam spread to the Russian heartland, with the conversion of the Volga Bulgars, a state that existed east of modern Moscow. The Volga Bulgars attempted to convert Kievan Rus' to Islam (the forerunners of modern Russia), but their leader declared the Russians could never give up wine, which was the "very joy of their lives".
