Russia, the world's largest country, has only a sparse population. According to the results of the 2020 survey, the total population of the country reached 14.4 billion, while the number of women is a full 10 million more than men, reaching a staggering 77 million.
This imbalance between men and women has been going on in Russia for decades and has had many social, economic and cultural implications.
Why, then, are there more Russian women than men?How can single women in Russia solve the "marriage problem"?What kind of phenomenon is female singleness in Russia?
Speaking of this issue, friends who know something about history must know that Russia has experienced many wars and disasters in its history, the most tragic of which was World War II, that is, the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union.
Nearly 26.8 million people were killed in the Russian war**, with men predominantly men. As a result, the war resulted in a significant decline in the male population, while the female population remained relatively stable.
After the end of the war, there was a serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women in Russia, and this imbalance was not effectively restored in the following decades.
In addition, the geographical and climatic environment of Russia is also an important factor affecting the ratio of men to women.
Russia's harsh climate and long winters have led to heavy alcohol consumption to ward off the cold and relieve fatigue. However, high alcohol intake has become a serious threat to the health of Russian men, causing various diseases such as heart disease, liver disease, and cancer.
In addition, excessive alcohol consumption can lead to an increase in violence, traffic accidents and suicides, further exacerbating the survival plight of Russian men, who have a shorter overall life cycle of nearly 10 years compared to women of the same age.
According to some data, the average life expectancy of men in Russia is only 65 years, while the average life expectancy of women is 76 years, which also reflects the survival gap between men and women.
In addition, Russia's relatively backward economy has caused a large number of young people to leave their homes, especially men with a high level of education. They tend to seek employment and life opportunities in developed regions such as Europe or North America.
These male migrants often choose not to return**, but instead choose to start a family abroad or cross nationality boundaries, thus reducing the number of men in Russia.
In contrast, Russian women are more likely to stay in the country or marry in foreign countries, thus increasing the proportion of women in the population. According to statistics, nearly 100,000 people in Russia choose to emigrate abroad every year, and the majority of them are men.
Therefore, historical, living and immigration factors are the main reasons why there are more women than men in Russia, and these reasons affect each other, forming a vicious circle that makes it difficult to solve the problem of the imbalance between men and women in Russia.
Faced with the reality of an imbalance between men and women, how can single women in Russia solve their "marriage problems"?
The first is to marry a foreign man. Russian women are known for their unique nobility and beauty, which makes them a global influence and appeal. In addition, Russian women are free and easy, eager to seek cross-border and cross-cultural love, and are committed to the pursuit of personal emotional happiness.
Therefore, many single women in Russia tie the knot with foreign men through various channels, such as blind dates, travel, study and employment, etc. It is reported that nearly 30,000 ** girls choose to marry in other countries every year, especially in the United States, Germany and Turkey as the main destinations.
The advantage of this method is that you can broaden your horizons and life circle, and you can also enjoy better economic and social conditions. However, this method also has drawbacks, such as language and cultural barriers, separation of family and relatives and friends, legal and social discrimination, etc., which require great costs and efforts.
Second, Russian women will choose to marry older or low-income men. This is a more traditional way, but also a more realistic way. The social climate in Russia is relatively conservative, and many people believe that women should get married and have children as soon as possible, otherwise they will lose their value and charm.
As a result, many single women in Russia will choose to marry some older or low-income men at a certain age or pressure in order to have a stable and secure marriage.
The advantage of this method is that it can avoid loneliness and loneliness, and it can also get a certain amount of social recognition and respect. However, this method also has drawbacks, such as a lack of true love and happiness, and may also face risks such as domestic violence, infidelity, divorce, etc.
In addition, there is a part of Russian women who choose to be single or gay. Influenced by the ideas of Western enlightenment and progress, women in Russia are increasingly valued for their own personal development and self-realization, and they do not want to be bound by traditional marriage and family, nor are they willing to marry for the sake of getting married, but choose a single or homosexual lifestyle.
The advantage of this way is that you can pursue your dreams and interests, and you can also find a true soulmate and happiness. However, there are drawbacks to this approach, such as being discriminated against and ostracized by society, and you may also face loneliness and stress.
Russian female singleness is an emerging social phenomenon, which refers to the thought and behavior of some Russian women who actively choose to be single, reject marriage and family, and pursue self-worth and independence. The emergence of female singleness in Russia is influenced by the following aspects:
The first is education and economic improvement. Women in Russia have greatly improved their level of education and economic ability, they are no longer dependent on men, but can support themselves and even their families.
They have more career choices and development space, as well as more social status and rights. They are no longer content to be traditional wives and mothers, but want to be women with their own careers and voices.
This is followed by a crisis in marriage and family. The state of marriage and family in Russia is not optimistic, and many marriages are unhappy and even violent.
Russian men generally have bad Xi such as alcoholism, gambling, cheating, etc., and they often do not respect and care for their wives and children, but treat them as burdens and accessories. Women in Russia often have to take on the full responsibility and pressure of the family, without the support and help of men.
Russia also has a high divorce rate, with nearly 600,000 couples divorced every year, 80% of which are filed by women. All this has made Russian women lose confidence and expectation in marriage and family.
In addition, Russian women have been influenced by Western culture and values. They began to embrace and advocate for new ideas and ideas, such as feminism, individualism, liberalism, etc.
They believe that women should have their own choices and judgments, and should not be bound and limited by society and tradition. They believe that being single is a normal and reasonable way of life, and that there is no need to marry for the sake of getting married, nor do they need to live for someone else. They believe that being single can make them happier and freer, as well as more focused and successful.
In short, Russian female singleness is a social phenomenon that reflects the practical predicament and psychological needs of Russian women, and it is a double-edged sword that has both positive and negative effects.
It shows the awakening and progress of Russian women, but also exposes the problems and challenges of Russian society. It needs to be understood and respected by society, and it also needs to attract the attention and improvement of society.
Only in this way can the imbalance between men and women in Russia be effectively solved, and women in Russia can be truly happy and free.
