Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the role of the North Caucasian muslim factor in the Astrakhan region in the late XX - early XXI centuries. It is concluded that the reduction in the number of traditional population groups against the background of a strong migration flow over the past two or three decades (especially from the North Caucasus) changes the ethnic situation in the region and the interethnic balance in the direction of migrants. In many ways, it was in connection with the influx of migrants from the North Caucasus to the Lower Volga region at the end of the XX century that the ideas of radical islam began to penetrate the region. Key words: Astrakhan, islam, muslims, migrants, salafism, North Caucasus, sufism
