Russian-American marriages reflect many of the same issues and
problems of other inter-cultural marriages, but at the same time
face some unique challenges. Since the publication of the first
edition of Wedded Strangers in 1998, the number of these mixed
couples has soared. Improved relations between the countries have
brought hundreds of Russians to the U.S., while Americans continue
to travel to Russia for business, study and tourism. Dozens of
dating and marriage agencies in the two countries are busy matching
Russians with Americans. The Internet, chat rooms, e-mail, and list
servers for Russian-American couples and for people seeking spouses
have revolutionized romance. Further, the end of the Soviet Union
has eased travel restrictions, heartbreak over denied visas, and
harassment of these couples.
In response to these factors and to the hundreds of letters,
phone calls and e-mails that poured in from couples who read the
first edition and wanted to share their own stories, Dr. Visson has
expanded Wedded Strangers with new material, including a chapter on
marriages resulting from the phenomenal growth of agencies and
Internet sites which introduce American men to Russian women.
Another chapter deals with contemporary young couples who choose to
live in both Russia and the U.S. A third chapter is devoted to the
results of these marriages: a new generation of Russian-American
children. The author shows how the couples differ in their
attitudes toward raising children and explores the hopes and
frustrations of these families.
