Tiivistelmä
The study describes the integration attempts of Russian immigrants to the Finnish labour market and to the Finnish society. The aim is to describe and examine the immigration and integration as a process, investigating the possible obstacles, difficulties and challenges on integration. The results of the study will show what kind of difficulties the integration process has as well as the demands of the Finnish labour market when Russian immigrants are seeking employment.

Even though the integration process of Russian immigrants is under investigation, the research has a presumption. The research concentrates into the integration process from the perspective of Russian immigrants. The presumption is that there can be discrimination against the Russian immigrants both in Finnish society and Finnish labour market. Integration to the society is approached from the perspective of individual experience. Integration to the labour market is simply measured by getting employed.

The method of the study is instrumental case study. The Russian minority is used as a case instrument to investigate the behaviour of Finnish labour market and society. The case group is 11 Russian immigrants. Data of the research is collected by using qualitative, theme interviews. The written interviews were the best qualitative way to describe the individual experience of migration and integration; how respondents find their options, possibilities and difficulties when trying to find a job and their place in Finnish society. When analysing the interviews, I will use Narrative Theme Analysis since the questionnaire is build on themes and the data collected is narrative. In addition to collected data, I will use secondary data and descriptive statistics.

The first priority of the research is to describe the overall view of the integration of the Russian immigrants to the Finnish labour market and to the society. The second priority is to describe the experienced discrimination in that process. In addition, research describes subjective perception of Russian immigrants in being part of the Finnish society.

As a result of the investigation, I found out that the discrimination exist more strongly in the labour market than in society. The case group has experienced difficulties in the application process when seeking employment. At the end of the research, I will discuss the possible solutions for the future problems of labour migration and integration of foreigners in Finland.
