Summary/Abstract: The eighties and nineties of the twentieth century were a period of intense reemigration of Crimean Tatars to the Crimean Peninsula. Then began the process of rebirth and shaping the identity of the Crimean-Tatar nation in which religion plays a significant role, namely Islam. The purpose of this article is to attempt to determine the place and role of Majlis in the society and in shaping the political attitudes of Crimean Tatars, as well as determine the causes, course and consequences of the radicalization of Islam on the Crimean Peninsula. The analysis will also be covered by the policy of the Russian Federation against Crimean Tatars after the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, as a factor directly influencing the radicalization of the Muslim communities.
