On-line session. The ‘Migration seminar’ - The new Russian Islam: Muslim migrants in the Far North

On January 27, 2021 an on-line session of the regular "Migration studies" seminar at the Institute of Social Policy of the Higher School of Economics and Centre d'études franco-russe (Moscou) - The new Russian Islam: Muslim migrants in the Far North was held.

Intense internal migration flows characteristic of post-Soviet Russia have led to the emergence of Muslim communities far away from the regions where Islam is traditional preached, in the Far East and the Far North of the country. The seminar will present the results of field research of urban diversity in the case of Muslim communities in Arctic and sub-Arctic cities.
