Abstract

Migration has long been a controversial issue of debate in various aspects and by specialists in different fields. It poses problems to the migrants and the target country as those people need to settle down in, sometimes, absolutely new environments and integrates into societies unfamiliar to them. This can be affected by several circumstances. This work studies how various factors, like mentality and value system, have affected the integration processes of Muslims into Western societies and how traditions, religious habits, and lifestyles of Muslim citizens hamper them from integration and political engagement. The research broadly covers the opinions and positions of Russian researchers on the issue.
