Abstract

The article considers the process of the revival of Islam in the Crimea in the late 1980s - early 1990s with the gradual return and further mass repatriation to the historical homeland of the Crimean Tatars. At the initial stage (1985-1987), local authorities, guided by the current anti-religious and anti-Islamicguidelines of the center, tried to prevent a religious upsurge in the Crimean Tatar environment, using measures of administrative and ideological influence and control. At the second stage (1988 - early 1990s) of the implementation of the policy of restructuring and democratization of public life, the Crimean authorities were forced to show loyalty to Muslims, the process of restoring traditional Islamic institutions and integrating Islam into the regional confessional space began.
