Vladimir region was the first in Russia to completely ban hijab and niqab in schools. This decision was attributed to the fact that Russia is a "secular state separated from the church and the state, including the education system."

The ban on the niqab and hijab in schools in the Vladimir region of Russia has caused conflicts between Z-patriots and politicians of the North Caucasus republics. The deputy of the Russian State Duma, Biysultan Hamzaev from Dagestan, called the officials of the Vladimir region "fools". His colleague from Chechnya, Adam Delimkhanov, informed that "negotiations" are being held with local officials of Vladimir region. These statements angered the Z-patriots.
