According to the data of the United Nations demographic yearbook, since 2000, Russia's divorce rate has been maintained at more than 4.5%, and that of some years even reached 5.3%. Moreover, according to the calculating method of local media, in recent dozen years, the divorce rates in Russia are all over 50%, which even up to 80% in 2008. However, over the same period, in Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, China and other world’s major countries, the divorce rates are between 2% and 2.3%, and only that of the United States is a little bit higher which is about 3.6%.
根据联合国人口统计年鉴的数据显示，自2000年以来，俄罗斯离婚率一直维持在4.5%以上，有的年份甚至达到5.3%。另据当地媒体的计算方法，近十几年来，俄罗斯的离婚率均超过50%，2008年甚至高达80%。而同一个时期，英国、法国、德国、日本、澳大利亚、加拿大、中国等世界主要国家的离婚率在2%至2.3%之间，只有美国稍高一些，约为3.6%。
Why does the divorce rate in Russia keep high?
俄罗斯为何离婚率居高
Why does Russia have such a high divorce rate? According to some opinion polls and experts studies, in the 1990s, the leading causes of divorce of the Russians are alcohol or drug addiction, having no kids, long-term and long-distance relationship, etc. However, in the recent 10 years, having a new sweetheart and incompatibility have become the leading causes of divorce. In 2013, the All Russian Public Opinion Research Centre took a large scale opinion poll on Russians’ reasons for divorce. It found that the most frequently mentioned grounds for divorce are “unfaith and betrayal” as well as “failing in compromise, concession and understanding mutually, selfishness and quarrel”.
The large scale opinion poll shows that apart from “unfaith and betrayal” and “personality conflict”, other common reasons of divorce include “poverty, unemployment and being incapable of supporting the family” and “alcohol and drug abuse” which also reflects the profound social problems of Russia.
Russia’s newspaper New Messages once published a survey report claimed that Russians often divorce for the reason of poverty, lack of social and medical security, acute housing shortage and so on. Huge living pressures cause alienation of mutual affection, on the other hand, many people regard reorganizing family as a way to change their living conditions, which is more common in small-medium cities.
In addition, the crapulent husband and ingrained male chauvinism are also the main reasons for Russia's high divorce rate. On one hand, Russian women's level of education has improved, so it is hard for them to tolerate their husbands’ drinking and other bad habits. On the other hand, some of the Russian men still hope to have absolute authority in their families, and even tend to use violence to solve the problems. 俄罗斯为什么有如此之高的离婚率？一些民意调查和专家研究显示，上世纪90年代，俄罗斯人离婚的主要原因是酗酒或吸毒、没有孩子、长期两地分居等；而最近10年来，另有新欢或感情破裂成为了离婚的主因。
2013年全俄社会舆论研究中心就俄罗斯人离婚原因进行了大规模民意调查。在离婚理由当中，最常被提到的是“变心和背叛”，以及“不能互相妥协、不肯让步、不理解对方、自私、争吵”。除了“变心背叛”及“性格不合”，其他常见的离婚原因还包括“贫穷、失业、不能养活家庭”，以及“酗酒、吸毒”，这也反映出俄罗斯的深层次社会问题。
俄罗斯《新消息报》曾刊发过调查报道称，俄罗斯人常常因为贫穷、缺乏社会及医疗保障、住房紧张等原因而离婚。巨大的生活压力导致夫妻感情破裂，许多人将重新组织家庭作为改变生存状况的手段，这在中小城市更为常见。
此外，丈夫酗酒以及根深蒂固的大男子主义也是俄罗斯离婚率高发的重要原因。一方面，俄罗斯女性受教育程度提高，因而难以容忍丈夫酗酒等恶习，但另一方面，部分俄罗斯男性仍然希望在家庭内部拥有绝对权威，甚至倾向于使用暴力解决问题。
Russian sociologist Kuchma considers that Modern people are likely to try a new way of life, so they frequently switch jobs, change careers, transfer interest preferences, move to new residences and even change partners. In addition, compared with the previous generation, today’s young people pay more attention to their personal feelings, and they are lack of tolerance and understanding to their partners, which result in their impulsive divorce when they discord with each other.
In recent years, people’s views on divorce have also changed. Divorce is regarded as a very normal and common phenomenon. Modern women are more independent with wider horizons and higher incomes. So even if divorced, they can also maintain their own costs and raise the children at the same time, which is also an important factor for many girls initiating a divorce.
Some experts point out that the role of some media cannot be ignored in promoting higher divorce rate. Ve Medkov, associate professor in the Department of Sociology, University of Moscow, says that some TV programs tell people that no one needs marriage that is a kind of outdated social phenomenon and lots of young people have accepted this view; Besides that, getting divorced or bizarre “falling in love” also has become a means for some stars and even politicians to become famous, which also has deepened people’s notion with no respect for marriage.
俄罗斯社会学家库奇马耶娃则认为，现代人喜欢尝试新的生活方式，频繁地换工作、换职业、换兴趣、换住处，甚至换伴侣。此外，与上一辈人相比，现在的年轻人更注重个人感受，对伴侣缺乏包容和体谅，发生不和就容易冲动离婚。
近年来，人们对离婚的观念也发生了变化。它被视为很正常、很普通的现象。现代女性更独立、眼界更开阔、收入也更高。即使离婚，她们也能在维持自身开销的同时养育孩子。这也是许多女伴能主动提出离婚的重要因素。
还有一些专家指出，在推动离婚率走高方面，某些媒体的作用不容忽视。莫斯科大学社会学系副教授维·梅德科夫说，一些电视节目告诉人们，任何人都不需要婚姻，婚姻是一种已经过时的社会现象，许多青年人都接受了这种看法；此外，闹离婚或离奇“恋爱”也成为一些明星乃至政客成名的手段，这也加深了人们不尊重婚姻的观念。
With the high incidence of divorce rate, more and more Russia’s young people pursue “celibacy”, and many young people would rather choose to cohabit. Some investigators estimate, at present, nearly 30% of Russia’s young people don’t want to get married and prefer to live together. Experts believe that laying too much emphasis on their careers and self-realization make some young people don’t have the energy and time to start and raise a family; The high housing prices and costs of living in big cities have increased their living pressure; Modern family service equipments and complete system make men need not rely on any housewife type of wife, in turn, women don't need to rely on men to bring home the bacon, in addition, unmarried sexual relationship is becoming more common. These are the important causes why some young people don't want to get married.
A Russian Middle-aged man Eagle Serebranaiin divorced again with his second wife. Referring to the reason for the divorce, “She wants to be independent and get promotion on career. She earns three times more than I do. She can afford a babysitter and her parents can help to look after the children. Why does she need a husband?” Serebranaiin says in an interview with Global Magazine. “In ancient society, men hunted animals, turned up the soil or did other heavy work, while women stay at home to take care of the children. At that time, women can’t leave men, otherwise they would be unable to survive. But now both men and women work in front of the computer and in many big cities, such as Moscow, some women can earn much more money than men.” Serebranaiin says.
在离婚率高发的同时，俄罗斯也有越来越多的年轻人奉行“不婚主义”。不少年轻人更愿意选择同居。一些调查机构估计，目前，有近30%的俄罗斯年轻人不愿意结婚而更愿同居。
专家认为，过分重视自己的事业和实现自我价值使得一些年轻人没有精力和时间组建家庭和养育后代；大城市房价和生活成本的高昂加重了他们的生活压力；现代化家庭服务设备和完备的体系使男性不必依赖家庭主妇式的妻子，女性也不需要依靠男人挣钱养家，加之非婚性关系越来越普遍……这些都是造成一些年轻人不愿结婚的重要原因。
俄罗斯中年男性伊格尔·谢列布良内和第二任妻子又离了婚。关于离婚原因，谢列布良内在接受《环球》杂志采访时表示:“她想独立，想在职业上获得升迁。她挣的比我多三倍，可以请得起保姆，父母也可以帮助照看孩子，她为什么需要丈夫？”“在古代社会，男人猎杀猛兽、翻地或者干其他重活，而女人在家里照顾孩子。女人不能离开男人，否则无法存活。而现在男人和女人都在电脑前工作，在很多大城市，例如莫斯科，女人可以挣得比男人更多。”谢列布良内说。
Who are hurt by the high divorce rate?
高离婚率伤了谁？
In Russia, the high divorce rate even has a negative effect on the whole society. Sociologists point out that unstable marital relations may make couples pessimistic and do not feel like having children.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, from 1993 to 2002, on average, every woman of childbearing age gave birth to less than one child. After 2003, the fertility rate of Russian women has recovered. In recent years, per woman of childbearing age gives birth to an average of 1.3 children, but it is still not enough to maintain a stable population growth.
Experts estimate that if Russia wants to get rid of the population crisis, per woman of childbearing age has to give birth to an average of at least 2.5 children. At the end of 2013, during the annual state of the nation address, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, “A family with three children” should become the standard of Russia. 在俄罗斯，过高的离婚率甚至对整个社会都产生负面影响。社会学家指出，婚姻关系不够稳定，可能导致夫妻对未来产生悲观心理，而不愿意生养孩子。
苏联解体后，从1993年至2002年，平均每名育龄女性生育孩子还不到1个。2003年之后，俄罗斯女性生育率有所回升，最近几年平均每名育龄女性生育1.3个孩子，但这尚不足以维持人口稳定增长态势。
据专家测算，俄罗斯若要摆脱人口危机，平均每名育龄妇女至少要生2.5个孩子。俄罗斯总统普京2013年底发表国情咨文时说,“一个家庭有3个孩子”应该成为俄罗斯的标准。
Furthermore, sociologists point out that, excessively casual marriage will have an unfavorable influence on the growth of children, and parents divorce will have a huge negative impact on children. Research shows that for children, parents divorce is similar to lost loved ones, which makes the children create a sense of powerlessness. In addition, parents divorce may leave shadows to children, and they would worry about that similar cases will happen in their own future family life.
In Russia, after divorce of the husband and wife, most of the time the children are brought up by the woman, and grow up in a single-parent family. About 600,000 Russian children do not live with their fathers, according to official data.
In Serebranaiin’s opinion, this kind of Russian boys have no “male role models”, so they do not know what father is and when they grow up, they also don’t know how to be a qualified father, which “unfortunately, is a chain reaction”. Serebranaiin believes that the society also needs 15 or even 20 years to generally realize the negative effect. “They won’t realize the importance of the role of father in the family, until this generation that don’t live together with their fathers grow up and they themselves become fathers.”
此外，社会学家指出，婚姻关系过于随意对孩子的成长不利，父母离婚会对儿童产生巨大负面影响。研究显示，对于儿童来说，父母离婚类似于失去亲人，儿童会产生无力感。此外，父母离婚会给儿童造成心理阴影，儿童会担心未来自己家庭生活也会发生类似事件。
在俄罗斯，夫妻离婚后，孩子大多数时候归女方抚养，并在单亲家庭里长大。根据官方数据，大约60万俄罗斯儿童没有和父亲住在一起。
在谢列布良内看来，这类俄罗斯男孩没有“男性榜样”，所以他们不知道什么是父亲，等他们长大之后也不知道该如何当好一个父亲,“很遗憾，这是连锁反应”。谢列布良内认为，社会还需要15年甚至20年才能普遍认识到这种负面影响，“需要等到现在这代没有与父亲共同成长的孩子长大，等到他们自己当父亲的时候，才会明白父亲这个角色在家庭里的重要性。
The Russian government makes a positive response
to family crisis
俄罗斯政府积极应对家庭危机
Faced with the occurrent serious family crisis, the Russian government has tried to intervene. For one thing, traditional values have been heavily promoted by the Russian government to encourage people to attach importance to family and reduce divorce and domestic violence. Since 2005, Russia has held film festivals in the theme of family life to raise people’s awareness of the importance of family.
Since 2008, Russia has celebrated “Family, Love and Loyalty Day” on July 8. Every year on this day, local governments will hold concerts, lectures and other events, and reward the couples have a long lasting marriage. Local media has reported that on the days of the festival, recreational and educational activities are held throughout Russia including concerts, lectures and so on, and the couples who have gotten married for more than 25 years are awarded a medal for their “Family, Love and Loyalty”. On those very days of the festival, the “wedding boom” has occurred in many cities of Russia, and the number of newlyweds who grant marriage licenses exceeds the average number of former days. On that day, the marriage registrations of some cities don’t received the petition for divorce, which gives the couples who plan to break up one more day to think over.
面对正在发生的严重家庭危机，俄罗斯政府已试图进行干预。一方面，俄罗斯政府大力倡导传统价值观，以鼓励人们重视家庭、减少离婚和家庭暴力。从2005年起，俄罗斯开始举办以家庭生活为题材的电影节，提高人们对家庭的重视程度。
2008年开始，俄罗斯将每年的7月8日定为“家庭、爱情和忠贞日”。每年的这一天，各地政府都会举办音乐会、讲座等活动，并对那些婚姻长久的夫妇给予奖励。
据当地媒体报道，节日当天，俄罗斯各地举办文娱和教育活动，包括音乐会、讲座等，婚龄超过25年的夫妇被授予“家庭、爱情和忠贞”奖章。节日当天，俄罗斯不少城市出现“结婚潮”，登记结婚的新人超过往日平均数量。一些城市的婚姻登记处在这一天不受理离婚申请，给打算分道扬镳的夫妇多一天考虑时间。
For another, The Russian government also tries to provide economic support for the young families to avoid the breakdown of this kind of families due to financial distress, which includes providing child-support allowances for families with children, helping young parents with children to find a job, providing preferential housing loans to young families and so on.
Although the Russian government is trying to promote the value of family and help the young families to solve their financial problems, some sociologists think pessimistically that it is still difficult for the destroyed Russian family tradition to recover in a short time.
另一方面，俄罗斯政府也努力为年轻家庭提供经济支持，包括对有孩子家庭发放育儿补贴、帮助有小孩的年轻父母找工作、为年轻家庭提供优惠住房贷款等，以避免这类家庭因经济窘迫而破裂。
虽然俄罗斯政府正努力宣传家庭的可贵，并从经济上帮助遇到困难的年轻家庭。但一些社会学家悲观地认为，俄罗斯遭到破坏的家庭传统短期内仍难以恢复。
根据联合国人口统计年鉴的数据显示，自2000年以来，俄罗斯离婚率一直维持在4.5%以上，有的年份甚至达到5.3%。另据当地媒体的计算方法，近十几年来，俄罗斯的离婚率均超过50%，2008年甚至高达80%。而同一个时期，英国、法国、德国、日本、澳大利亚、加拿大、中国等世界主要国家的离婚率在2%至2.3%之间，只有美国稍高一些，约为3.6%。
