In 2016, for Muslims residing in Moscow, several sites were prepared for the celebration prayers. The main gathering place was the Moscow Cathedral Mosque. For convenience, some streets near the building were blocked. During Eid al-Adha the streets of the capital were patrolled by the police.
The capacity of the reconstructed Moscow Cathedral Mosque is 10 thousand people. This mosque is the central place of celebration of Eid al-Adha in Russia every year.
The mosques of other Russian cities also hosted holiday services.
