    Abstract:
    In the context of the multiethnic composition of the population of the Russian Federation, the study of factors determining matrimonial behavior acquires significant theoretical and applied relevance. The transformation of the family institution brings the question of the role of ethnic identity in the dynamics of marital structure to the fore. The aim of the study is to identify trends in changes in the marital structure of various national groups based on data from the All-Russian Population Censuses of 2010 and 2020. The empirical base of the study comprises the results of the All-Russian Population Censuses of 2010 and 2020. The study employs a comparative analysis of marital structure in age-sex and national terms. Special attention is paid by the authors to methodological issues of accounting and to the problem of the growing number of respondents who did not indicate their marital status. The study identifies specific features of the marital structure among representatives of Caucasian peoples, who retain a traditional model with a high official marriage rate and a low divorce rate. In older age cohorts, interethnic differences are leveled out, which indicates a convergence of marriage patterns. Ethnic identity acts as a context-dependent factor of the marital structure of the Russian population, influenced by the level of urbanization, mobility, and value shifts. The growing proportion of respondents with an indeterminate marital status creates methodological limitations that require adjustments to data collection instruments. Promising areas of research are related to taking into account regional specifics, as well as educational and migration factors, in order to verify the findings obtained.

    Abstract:
    The situation of the Chuvash language in the Russian Federation is presented in the light of the 2020 population census. The aim of the study is to understand whether the tempos of the language shift have changed compared to the previous decade. For the sake of comparison, the process of ethnic assimilation of the Chuvash population is also studied. The differences between the five regions with the highest concentration of Chuvash speakers are analyzed, and the position of Chuvash in Chuvashia is contrasted with the one of the official languages in the other five republics of the Volga Federal District. Research results. The analysis shows a serious deterioration in the quality of the 2020 census data compared to previous ones. This problem is partially solved by weighting them. The results show an average annual decline of about three percent of Chuvash speakers at both the Federation and Chuvashia levels throughout the 2010–2020 decade. This represents a doubling of the rate in comparison to the previous intercensal period. This degree of language shift is similar to that observed for Chuvash in Tatarstan and Bashkortostan, but lower than in the Ulyanovsk and Samara regions. The other official languages of the District have drops in the number of speakers in their respective republics similar to those of Chuvash in Chuvashia, including Tatar in Tatarstan. An apparent exception is Bashkir, but the data also indicate serious issues for the languages of Bashkortostan.
