Zusammenfassung: | This contribution analyses the discursive strategies exercised by Russia's state-appointed Islamic authorities. It draws on a linguistic corpus that consists of speeches and sermons by Mufti Ravil' Gainutdin, the head of a major Muslim Spiritual Directorate in Moscow. A multi-levelled analysis shows that the mufti's lexical and rhetorical choices correspond to the discourse of the Russian Orthodox Church elites. This affinity is a discursive strategy that allows Gainutdin to position himself as the authoritative leader of Russia's Islamic community and to construct Islam as Russia's 'familiar' and 'traditional' religion. |
