Russian Women Online Seek a Husband

Russian women online seek a husband and have great expectations. Usually it is because they have a good education and life experiences. They are different from the rest of Russian females.

More myths and truths about Russian women of the former Soviet Union:

• They are well educated and intelligent.
• They live in a completely different world.
• They are stupid in the simplest everyday things.
• They have difficulty adapting to foreign cultures.
• They have difficulty learning foreign languages.

It's correct that people in Russia are better educated than most of the rest of the world. The Soviet educational system was probably the best in the world. One could receive advanced knowledge. Education was free. Additionally she received a scholarship from the government. There were special scholarships for the best students. 

After Perestroyka things started to fall apart but Russian education is still good enough and quite affordable. Anybody can still receive the best university education for free, all she needs to do is to prove her knowledge by passing the entrance exams. College education is even more affordable. Most professional schools are free of charge.

First time after arriving in the West a Russian woman can seem stupid because of her ignorance about simple everyday things. She probably doesn't know how to deal with kitchen equipment or an automatic washing machine. She is definitely not aware about payment by check or credit card.

99% of Russians use only cash as payment means. After quite a few occasions when money on bank accounts in Russia lost their value in 4-10 times for a few days, Russians do not trust banks and prefer to keep money in cash.

Please understand, she is not stupid. She just never used those facilities. She will get right with the things as well as the language. Russians do not need English or any other foreign language in their daily life. During the Soviet time learning a foreign language was considered as needless and even harmful. Russians received a chance to watch English speaking TV channels just a few years ago, and it's accessible only through cable TV, which is quite expensive.

I studied English in Russia for a long time, and foreigners usually said that my English was very good. Nevertheless, when I arrived here I could not understand people's speech. It was too fast for me. For the first weeks I watched TV almost the whole day long to practice. So don't worry about your Russian fiancée's poor English - she will learn quickly.
