From the perspective of marriage, the most fundamental thing is intra-ethnic marriage, even if it is cross-ethnic, it is also within the national border. Even now, the proportion of transnational marriages is still very small, not to mention that one country likes to intermarry with another country. But in fact, in many cases, there will be strange phenomena. The most typical is Mongolia, and many people do not understand that before the collapse of the Soviet Union, why did Mongolian officials rush to marry Soviet wives? You might not think of it.
In mongolia from the 1950s to the 1980s, there was a very strange phenomenon in Mongolia, that is, mongolian officials at that time, especially high-level officials, such as some ministers, prime ministers, presidents, etc. of the central government, as well as provincial party secretaries, provincial governors, and even some middle-level officials of 18 provinces, were scrambling to marry Soviet women. The lowest percentage is more than 20%, and young officials are scrambling to study in the Soviet Union and marry Soviet women... This phenomenon has been going on for decades.
A lot of people don't understand why? In fact, there is only one, that is, "promotion and wealth". At that time, two very typical stories circulated in Mongolia, the first of which was that an official named Altangolle was prosperous because he married a Soviet wife. Quickly becoming ministers, members of the Central Committee and the supreme governor of the capital, if young people want to get ahead, then marrying a Soviet woman is a must.
The second story is about the leader Zedenbar, who was not previously prominent, but only the governor of Mongolia's central bank. But after marrying a Soviet wife, he began to rise sharply, because he married the daughter of the Soviet commander of the Moscow garrison. To this end, he became the supreme leader of Mongolia at the age of less than 36 and reigned for more than 30 years.
So these two stories actually tell a surprising truth. That was when he was an official in Mongolia, because of the absolute authority of the Soviet Union. So only those who went to school in the Soviet Union, studied abroad, or even married Soviet women, would be trusted. Therefore, if you want to get promoted and get rich, you must marry a Soviet woman.
At that time, young people in Mongolia went to the Soviet Union to study, go to high school, university, and even graduate school in order to achieve this goal. Even studying at the Party School, so that there were more opportunities to contact Soviet women once the Soviet women were married. Soon the Soviet Union would promote him to a key position, and because of this, a strange phenomenon was formed.
There are even officials who divorce their wives and find a Soviet woman again, which is a strange historical thing. And this tradition has been preserved to a certain extent to this day, and marrying a Russian woman has also become a fashion. What do you readers think about this?
