Divorce isn't such a tragedy. A tragedy's staying in an unhappy marriage, teaching your children the wrong things about love. Nobody ever died of divorce.

Family Law: divorce proceedings, conclusion of marriage (Russia)
Given that property cannot be divided by Russian courts, and should my wife move to the USA meaning Alimony will be decided in the USA – in your opinion is it in my best interests to get divorced in Russia or America? It appears to me that I will end up paying 2 times for lawyers, i.e. in the USA and Russia. Therefore, is it not better to simply get divorced in the USA...... My first assumption being that the divorce, alimony and financial agreements could be decided by Russian courts would be enforced in the UK and USA. This does not seem to be the case.
