Abstract	Recent decades have witnessed declining marriage rates and increasing cohabitation in Russia. Are these trends short-term responses to the economic and political crises accompanying the collapse of the Soviet Union in late 1991 or do they represent a longer-term shift driven by ideational changes like those shaping the “second demographic transition” in many developed countries since the 1960s? Our analyses of individual-level rates of entry to first marriage and cohabitation using 3,510 marital histories spanning 1985–2000 from the Survey of Stratification and Migration Dynamics in Russia show that the precise timing of these trends, the patterns of association between marriage and cohabitation rates and individual and contextual covariates, and the relationship between cohabitation and marriage entry mostly confirm the “transition” perspective. However, although Russia’s retreat from marriage, an especially radical departure from historically predominant patterns, involves ideational changes, the mechanisms driving these changes in Russia differ from those identified in accounts of the second demographic transition in other countries.Au cours des décennies récentes, le mariage a décliné au profit de la cohabitation hors-mariage en Russie. Cette tendance est-elle une réponse à court terme aux crises économiques et politiques qui ont accompagné le démantèlement de l’Union Soviétique à la fin de l’année 1991, ou reflète-t-elle plutôt une évolution idéationnelle du type de celles qui ont influencé la “deuxième transition démographique” dans de nombreux pays développés depuis 1960? Nos analyses des taux d’entrée en premier mariage et en cohabitation sur la période 1985–2000, à partir de 3,510 biographies individuelles extraites de l’Enquête sur les Dynamiques de Stratification et de Migration en Russie, démontrent que le calendrier de ces évolutions et le type de relation entre entrée en mariage et entrée en cohabitation apportent surtout du crédit à la perspective de “transition”. Quoique le déclin du mariage en Russie, en rupture avec les schémas ancestraux, implique des changements idéationnels, les mécanismes sous-jacents dans ce pays diffèrent de ceux qui ressortent en lien avec la transition démographique dans d’autres pays.
