Russian women in Denmark: between integration and marginality

Abstrakti

Denmark is one of some countries in Europe, which has not so many foreigners and it means – not so many traditions for immigration and integration. Up to the second half of the 20th century Denmark was almost a monoethnic state with only some groups of not-original population – peoples from Greenland, Iceland and some other colonies. Only Greenlanders were representatives of non-European culture, traditions and religion, but under Danish colony they received Danish culture such as literature, language, Lutherans church as offi cial religion and Danish culture and traditions as ”good taste”. All these people from colonies haven’t brought any problems for Danish people, but nevertheless they were almost assimilated.
