We propose a microscopic mechanism of the long-range order in two-dimensional space induced by random local fields of crystal defects. The anisotropic distribution of defect-induced random local field directions in the n-dimensional space of vector order parameter with the O(n) symmetry is shown to give rise to the defect-induced effective anisotropy in the system. The expression for the effective anisotropy constant is found. A weak anisotropy of the "easy axis" type transforms the X-Y model and the Heisenberg model to the class of Ising models, and brings into existence the long-range order in the system.
