The article considers impact of the migration of the population on emergence and transformation of Muslim communities in the Nizhny Novgorod region in the 1930-2010s. The main research methods were interviews and inclusive monitoring. It is proved that the Muslims of the city of Bor in Gorky region were not autochthonous inhabitants of this settlement, but they became them during the migration of the population during the processes of industrialization, collectivization and urbanization during the existence of the USSR, since the 1930s. In the period 1991-2021, Russian society, represented by local Muslims, proposed certain behavior models to migrants, and migrants, in turn, created their own cultural guidelines through a demonstration of their ethnic culture and religion.
