History
Russians began migrating to Turkey during the first half of the 1990s. Most had fled the economic problems prevalent after the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. During this period, many intermarried and assimilated with locals, bringing a rapid increase in mixed marriages.[1] There is a Russian Association of Education, Culture and Cooperation which aims to expand Russian language and culture in Turkey as well as promote the interests of the community.
