In
recent years, thousands of young Russian and
Ukrainian women have come to the USA and European
countries by means of marriage and were unkindly
labeled “Russian mail-order brides”.
But who are these women, really? Why are they
prepared to leave everything behind, to go to an
unknown country and live with an unknown man? Can
a Russian bride really be a good solution for a
Western man? We will attempt to demystify the
phenomenon of mail-order-brides.
Why do Russian women want to marry foreigners?
There are thousands of dating services featuring
young, beautiful Russian women who are looking
for Western husbands. There are so many women
that it might seem all of the young females in
Russia have decided to leave their country. This
is only an illusion, though. Russia and Ukraine
are very big countries with huge populations, and
women who are searching for husbands abroad
represent less than 0.01% of all single Russian
women.
The girls who place their ads with dating
services, hoping to find a husband in the USA or
Europe, have various reasons to do so. The most
common reason is that they have heard from
friends and the media that Western men treat
women better than Russian men do. They have heard
that drinking isn’t such a problem in these
Western countries as it is in Russia, and that
men actually care for their families.
So, the common perception that mail-order brides
are searching for a better lifestyle isn’t
quite right. In reality, they are searching for a
better man than they can get in Russia or
Ukraine. See more information about single

husbands.
What makes Western men to look for a Russian
bride?
At first glance, it might seem very strange that
so many men are prepared to spend thousands, to
bring a foreign wife to their country and
struggle with all the differences of language and
culture. Wouldn’t it be easier to find a
decent wife at home?
Western men have many reasons, to look for
Russian wives:
Some are fascinated by Russian culture and want a
partner who would not only share this
fascination, but actually be a part of this
culture
Some are middle-aged men, who were unhappy in a
previous relationship but are prepared to try
again, with a lady who is still young enough to
have children. As you know, in Western culture
marriages with age differences of 5 years, or
more, are not common; so, if a man were 45-50, he
would be unlikely to find a partner under 40
years of age, in his own country
And some are men who, for one reason or another,
are dissatisfied with the women in their own
country. Russian women are less materialistic,
more traditional and feminine than their Western
sisters, and this type of a lady appeals to many
men.
What is the success rate – can finding a
wife from Russia can really work for a western
man?
It works for many men: there are thousands of
Russian-Western couples that are very happy
together. There are unhappy ones as well, though,
and the usual causes are: a lady can’t
adjust to a life in a new country; both partners
had unrealistic expectations before marriage; or
they can’t work through their cultural
differences, so mutual understanding is never
achieved.
While working with many Russian-Western couples I
noticed a pattern, though: happily married men
are usually the ones who were not looking for a
‘Russian bride’, but for a partner to
live with. They also learned a lot about Russian
culture and traditions and put some effort into
making their lady feel happy and welcome in her
new home. If a man is prepared to work through
the minor difficulties, starting a family with a
Russian woman can be very rewarding.
If you are looking for a Russian lady it is very
important to collect as much information as
possible about her and her culture. You will find

beautiful Russian woman, who are interested in
love and marriage.
