Abstract
In article on the basis of the involvement of a wide range of sources is analyzed the population dynamics of the Muslim in Finland in historical perspective, as the ethno-cultural processes of self-organization and level of integration into the accepting society. It is well-known that the part of the Muslim population in Finland is represented, from the one side, by historical Tatar minority, which has been living in the country since the beginning of the XIX century and, from the other side, by the migrants of the ‘new wave’. The country has established flexible mechanisms of socio-cultural adaptation and integration of migrants. Currently Tatars are fully integrated into Finnish society. The government offers all the facilities for maintenance and development of ethnic cultures.
