Muscovites Prefer to Marry Foreigners

Who are Muscovites married? According to the Moscow registry office, most metropolitan girls create families with the citizens of Germany and Israel. In recent years increased the number of registrations with the inhabitants of Vietnam. But the most desirable husbands Muscovites continue to believe the citizens of Turkey.

Wedding statistics studied correspondent Vesti FM Olga Podolyan.

Will Rogers was not quite right when he said that all weddings are alike, and all divorces are interesting in their own way.

Moscow wedding statistics: metropolitan girls are still actively pursuing seemingly antiquated feminine dream – to marry a foreigner. Among the top suitors are the citizens of Germany and Israel. In recent years, increased the number of marriages with the Vietnamese – the legislation of the Republic has become more liberal – now the Vietnamese can register relations in Russia.

But most of all inhabitants of this country marry each other. Since the beginning of this year, nearly 100 Vietnamese couples were married in Moscow. Director of the Institute of Social Policy Graduate School of Economics, Sergey Simonov believes in marrying foreigners in Russia long-running plans:

“For many of them Russia has to some extent, second home, anyway – the second economic homeland. Official statistics indicate that living standards in Russia is somewhat higher than the level of life in Vietnam. “

But marriages “Russian-Vietnamese” is now also not uncommon. Only this year, appeared in Moscow 70 such families. However, the most attractive metropolitan husbands ladies still believe the citizens of Turkey. In a marriage with the Turks often take women beyond 30 years. Get to know the couple are in most cases on vacation.

Turks marry Russian willingly. And in broken Russian explain why: our women are less moody, magnificent wedding with all the traditions are not mandatory, and most importantly – Russian sees in her husband not only breadwinner and father for their children, they are willing to just live with the beloved man, and often contain a family.

The situation is similar with the citizens of former Soviet republics: the marriage with the Muscovite opens for them a lot of prospects, says the director of the Institute of Socio-Economic Studies of Population Alex Shevyakov:

“They’re trying to catch on here. Get a perspective of citizenship or permanent residence, and have more paid work than at home. “

At the fair suitors for Muscovites began to lose their appeal by the British. Before they took the fourth place in the number of games played in the capital, weddings, and now – only the seventh. But again, marriages have become popular with Americans. This year in Moscow, was formed nearly 60 Russian-American families. And that figure could grow. Many metropolitan girls are actively searching for an alien spouse, because our men are sometimes the following principles: not caught – not her husband.
