In the age of migration, the inclusion of immigrants in national politics is crucial for democratic reasons, and because it increases the coordination and cooperation ability of society. The informal norms, values and beliefs of the political culture are one aspect of the institutional and discursive opportunity structures immigrants face as ethnic and religious minorities. This article analyses the Danish political culture with regard to the potential barriers it has for the inclusion of immigrants in national political life. It finds that the predominantly liberal, secular and republican character of the Danish political culture excludes certain kinds of cultural and religious identities and interests at the symbolic discursive level, while Danish political culture may in fact provide more openness at the practical and institutional level. However, the question of whether or not Danish political culture is able to deal adequately with cultural and religious diversity remains.

В статье на основе историографических и архивных источников рассмотрен ряд аспектов формирования феномена толерантности в социально-исторической практике Западной Европы и России. ; The paper dwells on the aspects of formation tolerance in social and historical praxis of Western Europe and Russia. In the basic of tolerance we can find an "anthropological paradigm" to be exact, Buddhism in the East, Christianity in the West and Islam in the South of Eurasia. Those three religions don't have any conflicts with other religious systems. They are the same in the negation of the tribal and the racial superiority. In West Europe the tolerance begins to shape in Middle Ages, especially in period of religious and social wars (15-16th centuries) in Germany, England, France, Switzerland and other countries. These facts we can find in secular literature, for example in poetry of Hans Sachs. In these wars many people had died and the religious confrontation attended with achievement of religious tolerance. The politic tolerance began to appear in the 18th century (Voltaire, John Locke, Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord, N. Novikov, I. Krylov and others). Russia is the multicultural country. Every nation in all times had the religious and political tolerance. But in the 21th century's globalization, political modernization, migration, cultural unification revived chauvinism and xenophobia. That's why the important goal of the society is the education of tolerance.
