Holy Rus' is becoming Muslim?

Celebrations of Eid al-Adha in Moscow. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims filled the streets of the Russian capital. Similar scenes could be seen in St. Petersburg and many other Russian cities. And these were only the men – each of whom, as a rule, has a wife and children, often three or more.
Just a few years ago, such a sight in the capital of the “Russian World” would have been almost unimaginable. Today, it is reality. Ukraine has not yet reached this point – but for how long?
The authorities openly admit that because of the catastrophic population decline, the country needs millions of labor migrants. The current figure being discussed is 8.6 million – and that number is expected only to grow. Yet the only people likely to come are migrants from the world’s poorest countries, most of them Muslim-majority. Which means that scenes now common in Moscow could soon become ordinary in Ukraine as well.
While Orthodox Christians destroy one another, others are taking their place.
