A new documentary and feature film by Ainaz Mukhametzyanov “Ibn Fadlan”.

The film is based on the “Travel Notes” of the Arab diplomat Ahmed ibn Fadlan. In 921, an embassy was sent from Baghdad to the Bulgar land, the head of the religious mission of which was Ibn Fadlan. He described his observations along the route, which ran through different countries, peoples and cultures. The path of the embassy, ​​which lasted almost a year, was full of hardships, obstacles and dangers. It was with the arrival of the embassy in 922 that the adoption of Islam by the Volga Bulgaria as the official religion is connected.
