According to statistics, every seventh Moscow girl marries a foreigner. Moscow women prefer to make families with the citizens of Turkey, Germany, Israel, the US, Great Britain and Afghanistan.According to the head of the Moscow Civil Registry office Irina Muravyeva, in January-June about 4,500 marriages with foreigners were registered in Moscow. At the same time the number of marriages with the citizens of the former Soviet republics is decreasing. By the way it was the Soviet Union which introduced the fashion on international marriages. The Soviet authorities supported such marriages because internationalism was a part of the communist ideology. Anyway those were marriages between the citizens of the same country.
