The article discusses the situation of modern ethnic Russians Muslims in the Muslim communities of the Moscow region. Firstly, the history of the formation of the used terminology is briefl y traced, related concepts and semantic contexts are listed. The author draws attention to the fact, that the topic is not suffi ciently covered in the scientifi c literature with a rather high level of interest in it in journalism, as well as the presence of various kinds of stereotypes that require expert refutation.
