Kharkiv Cathedral Mosque
The Kharkiv Cathedral Mosque, also known as Khavidrali Mosque, () is located in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The mosque was originally built in 1906, demolished by Soviet communists in 1936, and rebuilt in 2006. History In 1906, a mosque was built on the bank of the Lopan River. It became necessary to build a mosque due to the increase in Muslim population in Kharkiv, who were the descendents of Tatar Cavalry Regiment and Bashkir who were deployed in the area during the Russo-Turkish War in 1877 and chose to remain there. Kharkhiv was the capital at this point, and remained so until 1934. The mosque was destroyed by the Soviets in 1936 on claims that it hindered the flow of the river, and instead built residential housing in the area. Work to campaign for it to be rebuilt started with the founding of the Charter of the Muslim Community in Kharkiv in 1991.In 1999 work began to rebuild the mosque at the same location, which was completed in 2006, the centenary of the construction of the ori ...

They generally speak the various Turkish dialects. In addition, centuries-old Turkish communities in the former Ottoman Empire, ethnic Turkish communities still exist across other former territories of the Ottoman Empire.

Mosques Destroyed By Communists
A mosque ( ), also called a masjid ( ), is a place of worship for Muslims. The term usually refers to a covered building, but can be any place where Islamic prayers are performed; such as an outdoor courtyard. Originally, mosques were simple places of prayer for the early Muslims, and may have been open spaces rather than elaborate buildings. In the first stage of Islamic architecture (650–750 CE), early mosques comprised open and closed covered spaces enclosed by walls, often with minarets, from which the Islamic call to prayer was issued on a daily basis. It is typical of mosque buildings to have a special ornamental niche (a ''mihrab'') set into the wall in the direction of the city of Mecca (the ''qibla''), which Muslims must face during prayer, as well as a facility for ritual cleansing (''wudu''). The pulpit (''minbar''), from which public sermons (''khutbah'') are delivered on the event of Friday prayer, was, in earlier times, characteristic of the central city mosque, ...

Buildings And Structures Demolished In 1936
A building or edifice is an enclosed structure with a roof, walls and windows, usually standing permanently in one place, such as a house or factory. Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for numerous factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, prestige, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the concept, see ''Nonbuilding structure'' for contrast. Buildings serve several societal needs – occupancy, primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter represents a physical separation of the human habitat (a place of comfort and safety) from the ''outside'' (a place that may be harsh and harmful at times). buildings have been objects or canvasses of much artistic expression. In recent years, interest in sustainable planning and building practi ...
