Abstract
The novelty of the study lies in the reliance on archival documents that are not known to researchers. At the same time, the experience of organizing trips to the Hajj based on the interaction between the power structures of the Soviet state and the Spiritual Directorates of Muslims (SUM) is becoming more and more in demand against the backdrop of the growth of Muslims of our Fatherland to meet the need for such a pilgrimage. An important event took place in the life of Soviet believers on December 8, 1965 - the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 1043 “On the transformation of the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church under the Council of Ministers of the USSR and the Council for Religious Affairs under the Council of Ministers of the USSR into the Council for Religious Affairs under the Council of Ministers was issued the USSR”. In this regard, the tasks that were previously solved by two reorganized bodies created in 1943 and 1944 became the responsibility of the new Council - the Council for Religious Affairs (CDR). One of them was the organization of departure for the hajj by representatives of the then four Spiritual Administrations of Muslims (DUM).
