Abstract

Analyzed are peculiarities of creating and developing cross-cultural marriages in modern society. The authors draw attention to the viability of cross-cultural marriages in Japan that account for about 3% of the total number of registered marriages. Special attention is paid to problematic aspects of marriage between Japanese men and Russian girls. Despite existing problems in the life of cross-cultural marriages, the authors note positive role of marriage and family relations between spouses of these marriages, which are able to ensure not only close interaction between representatives of different cultures, ethnic groups and religions, but also to form managerial and organizational processes aimed at improving relations between countries and ethnic groups.
