Here Comes the Nevesta

August 1996

Author: Christina Ling
Russian Life: August 1996
Department: Features
Page: 4   ( 6) pages

Summary: Marx was scornful, Engels was scathing. In his headier days, Lenin considered it a deplorably bourgeois means of oppressing women. But even in Soviet times, Russians got married. Now the way people go about tying the conjugal knot is changing too. Christina Ling takes a look at marriage in Russia, past and present.
