The article analyzes the role of the religious factor in the involvement of migrants in the socio-cultural, linguistic and ethno-religious environment of the host community and the influence of religious practices on their integration into the Russian society. A theoretical analysis of transnational changes in migration processes in the context of modern globalization is carried out. Modern migrants create new social environment, form and maintain multi-layered relationships, create new patterns of behavior and transnational practices, including religious ones, which can facilitate or, conversely, hinder their integration into a new society.
The purpose of the article is to find out if religious activity of transnational Muslim migrants helps their adaptation to and integration into the host society, or, on the contrary, it creates situations in which not only the adaptation of migrants becomes impossible, but there appears a conflict. On the basis of a secondary analysis of sociological research and expert polls conducted by the authors, the factors of sociocultural adaptation of migrants, the level of religious activity and the associated risks of manifestation of conflict situations have been revealed.
The result of the study is identification of the main typical groups of migrants according to the degree of their religiosity, as well as the conclusion that religiosity is a constraining factor in integration: religious migrants adapt to society with the help of the diaspora or religious groups, but they practically do not integrate into society, since they do not speak the Russian language and do not know Russian culture and traditions. It is noted that in the absence of an adequate state migration policy, the religious factor can become the reason for the isolation of migrants and formation of negative stereotypes about them on the part of the local population.
Methodologically, the article is based on the data from federal and regional sociological and expert polls with representatives of ethnic and religious public organizations.
