It has been over a decade now since the Iron curtain has fallen; because of this many Western men have taken the opportunity to visit Eastern Europe in search of beautiful russian brides.
A decade back Russia was not a place to visit, things have changed drastically now, Russia has a booming economy and life has changed for many Russian people.

Russian women have also changed a lot and now are very modern and when they are searching for a Western man they have a huge choice, it is not a case anymore of turn up with your passport and any women will marry you, those days are long in the past.
Most people don’t think of the abundance of beautiful single women when they think of Russia.
They will usually think of Communism, Vodka drinking Russian men, and Cold weather. However in reality many people forget that Russia is actually in Europe and often enjoys hot central European summers.
There is a major reason why many russian women look overseas for a husband; the fact is that Russia has a demographic problem.
There are more women than men. It is estimated that there are over 12 million more women than men in Russia, for a women to find a good husband is no easy task.
The main reason Russia has developed a demographic problem is that Russian men have some of the shortest life expectancies in the world.
Many men die young due to many reasons including violence, alcoholism. There were over 24 million killed in the Second World War alone causing a big population decline, the Russian government is working hard at present to reverse the declining male population.
Men from all over the world in particular USA and Canada have all learned about these beautiful Russian brides searching for western men, but it is not always so easy to find your perfect women on the net in one of these Russian dating sites.
One of the major hurdles is the language barrier as well as cultural differences, Russian women are very different to Western women, it can take some men along time to get used to this.
Some good advice for men who have decided to search for Russian women is to spend some time researching on the internet, the more you know and understand about Russian women and culture the more chance you will have of finding your perfect women online.
