History

The village of Kotelniki was first mentioned in the 17th century and belonged to Golitsyns in the 19th century.[citation needed] It was granted town status in 2004.[citation needed]

On August 20, 2021, Russian security forces raided a mosque in the region and arrested up to 600 people. They were released later without any explanation as to the cause for the raid.[10] Non-Russian Muslims were released after their DNA was collected.[11]

On July 7, 2023, an anti-Ukrainian far-right Russian telegram channel spoke out against the presence of Muslims prayer houses in the area leading to security forces raiding a prayer house on the pretext of finding illegal immigrants.[12][13]
