- Abstract
This paper presents analysis of 28879 marriage records from 1990-2000 (total sample). Ethnic marriage assortative mating is positive in all ethnic groups significantly represented in Karachay-Cherkessia; the lowest values are characteristic of the more numerous ethnic groups (Karachays and Russians). The rate of metisation of the urban population is 21.6%; the rate for the rural population is 16%; the values vary significantly for different ethnic groups, reaching 98% for urban Ukrainians. With this rate of gene exchange, half of the urban population becomes interbred after three generations, and half of the rural population after four.
