Baku Mosque
Baku Mosque or Kriushi Mosque is a mosque built in 1907–1909 in Astrakhan. During the Soviet rule, the minaret of the mosque was destroyed, and in different years its building was used as a storehouse and cultural center. In 2002, with the efforts of the Azerbaijani diaspora in Astrakhan, the mosque was restored and presented to the Azerbaijani community and named Baku Mosque. The mosque is located on Bakinskaya Street in Astrakhan.
