Abstract

This article is devoted to transformation of the marriage emigration of women from Russia in post-Soviet period. There are two vectors of transformation: a geography of female migration and its reasons. It is established that migration flows of women from the country shifts at present towards Asia (particularly Korea and China). The economic factors of migration are not so important. It connects with the stabilization of the socio-economic situation in the country and implementation of demographic policy measures aimed at supporting families with children and promote fertility. The psychological factors of migration became prevalent. Women usually plan carefully their movement. Therefore, at present the decision to migrate is most likely a conscious choice, rather than adherence to impulsive desires.
