The article tackles the issue of conversion of Slavic Russians to Islam. The phenomenon is not new; it dates back to the 19th century and was connected with the Caucasian war. Nowadays, converts to Islam are usually young people, mainly students. The reasons for their conversion are diverse; thus, this is not a monolithic group. It consists of certain specific types that can be distinguished on the basis of the reasons for their conversion to Islam. This article categorises the new Russian Muslims under study, which are believed to be composed of four separate groups: people who married a Muslim, those attracted by the mysticism of religion (looking for God), people who consciously accept Islam as a religion with a tangible historical, ethnographic and cultural heritage, and finally those who are attracted by radical Islamic movements.

The Russian Federation is a multiethnic and multi-faith state, where representatives of different nations and religions live close to one another. The natural proximity of so many nations can be the reason for the increase or decrease of ethnic distance. What is more, it may foster intercultural mixed marriages. The issue of popularity of marriages between Muslims and residents of Slavic Russia has been attracting the Russian public opinion for several years. The article discusses the motivations of Russian women, non-Muslims seeking a Muslim husband. The analysis is based on the quantitative and qualitative content of messages posted on the Internet portal Moya sem’ya to thread Vy lubite kavkaskikh/vostochnykh mushchin? The author took an attempt to answer the question why Muslims – usually coming from the North Caucasus – are – according to Russian women – better candidates for a life partner.
