Сотрудники лаборатории опубликовались в журнале "Journal of Family History"

Сотрудники лаборатории "МЦДИ" и участники проекта РФФИ "Семья как фактор формирования человеческого потенциала промышленного города в условиях демографического перехода: исторические модели и сценарии капитализации (на примере Екатеринбурга-Свердловска)" Елена Главацкая, Гуннар Торвальдсен, Юлия Боровик и Елизавета Заболотных опубликовали статью в престижном зарубежном историко-демографическом журнале "Journal of Family History".

Статья под названием "Mixed Marriages in Late Nineteenth to Early Twentieth Century: Comparing Russia and Norway" посвящена изучению феномена межэтнических и межконфессиональных браков в Норвегии и России (на примере Екатеринбурга) на рубеже XIX-XX вв. Итоги, к которым пришли исследователи после скрупулезного анализа номинативных баз данных, значительно расширили современное понимание демографических реалий указанного времени и внесли ценный вклад в реализацию проекта.

Аннотация статьи

This article compares interethnic and interreligious marriages in Russia and Norway during the decades around 1900. State churches dominated religious life in both countries with over 90 % of the population, but both were losing influence during the period we focus on – rapidly in Russia after the 1917 Revolution. The part on Norway employs nominative and aggregate census material which from 1865 asked questions about religious affiliation, while the Russian case study utilizes the database of church microdata being built for
Ekaterinburg – a railway hub and an industrial city in the Middle Urals, in Asia – in addition to census aggregates. Our main conclusion is that religion was a stronger regulator of intermarriage than ethnicity. Religious intermarriage was unusual in Ekaterinburg, even if official regulations were softened by the State
over time – the exception is during World War I, when there was a deficit of young, Russian men at home and influx of refugees and Austro-Hungarian Prisoners of War (mostly Catholics and Lutherans). The situation was also affected by the 1917 Revolution creating equal rights for all religious denominations. The relatively few religious intermarriages in Norway were mostly between members of different Protestant congregations – non-members being the only group who often outmarried. We conclude that representatives of ethnic minorities and new religions seldom out-marry when religion was important for maintaining their identity.
