The second reason is unwillingness to start a family in difficult financial situation in Russia. Many men are afraid of this responsibility and prefer to start a family being financially secure and stable.  That is why the prevailing amount of bachelors in Russia, are the men up to 30.

The third reason is the sequence of the second one – lack of private apartment to start family. Many Russians womens after they get married live with parents or other relatives. A great number of divorces in Russia are referred to living with someone else in the same apartment or house.

Another great reason for bachelors’ boom is created by mass media’s propaganda. The image of bachelor has become very bright – it is a very successful, independent free man. Take, for instance Don Juan or James Bond, they are the embodiment of a perfect bachelor.  Men’s magazines focus on a ‘real’ man figure, who needs to change several girls during a month and it is considered cool.
