Do Not Marry, Girls (Russian: Не ходите, девки, замуж, romanized: Ne khodite, devki, zamuzh) is a 1985 Soviet musical film directed by Yevgeni Gerasimov.
Ivan Savelich Malkov, the dedicated chairman of a prosperous Soviet collective farm, worries about the wellbeing of his rural community even while on an overseas cruise.
On returning, he discovers that the young women of Bolshie Ugorody village, weary of a shortage of eligible men, are leaving en masse for the city.
Determined to keep them in the village, Malkov encourages them to form a folk choir, promising that a televised performance at a fair might attract potential suitors to them instead.
Following the broadcast, prospective grooms from all over the Soviet Union flock to the village, but the women unexpectedly depart for a nationwide tour along the Baikal-Amur Mainline and even to Japan at the invitation of the Minister of Culture.
