number of integration activities in Finland over the span of over
20 years, as an expert and a Russian-speaker who is integrating
into Finnish society since 1994. I will highlight some general
questions of integration, such as language learning, the image of
migrants integrating in the society, distance of integrating cultures,
specifics of second and third generation, and present them both

particular case Russian-speakers in Finland.
