Abstract

Across most Western societies, trends towards increased ethnic intermarriage have been observed across the second half of the twentieth century. Whether such trends hold across the multi-ethnic society of Russia is not known. We analyze Russian census data and describe levels and trends in ethnic intermarriage in four highly different Russian cities. We find no change in ethnic intermarriage in Moscow, but more intermarriage in younger cohorts in the other three cities where the populations are more ethnically heterogeneous. Levels and trends in ethnic intermarriage vary substantially throughout Russia by locality and ethnic group. Our study highlights how trends in intermarriage can vary within a society, and how the local, historical context may play an important role.
