A Russian Woman about Russian Women


This is the first website about
Russian women created by a Russian woman.

Hi! My name is Elena Petrova. (It's my picture at the top left corner.) I am a Russian woman who 10 years ago married a western man. Yes, I am totally real. You can ring the office and chat to me to confirm that, or if you are in the area, drop by and say, "Hello".

I created this website in 1999 to provide western people insight to the recent phenomenon of "Russian brides" from the Russian woman's point of view. If you wonder what is in the heads of those pretty Russian, Ukrainian and Eastern European girls that you see on various websites advertising themselves as available for marriage with western men, you are at the right place to find it out! 

Hundreds of men also contributed to the contents, posting stories about their personal experiences in search for their perfect Russian bride, so you could benefit from their knowledge.

This site will give you insight about "Russian mail order brides"; who they are, what they are like and why they are so available. I designed it to specifically answer the most important questions and clear up myths and cultural misunderstandings. Russian Brides Cyber Guide's motto is: "Tell it as it is".  

I spent years writing this information. I have weaved much of my personal experience, my life and my heart into it. I am sure you will find most of your questions answered here - for the most frequently asked questions, see the page FAQ. The first question most people usually ask is, "Why Russian women are seeking men abroad?" You can find the answer to this (and many other) questions here.

Enjoy!

What people say about Russian Brides Cyber Guide


I want to tell you that your site is the first one that I have seen that actually tells it like it is.  It's very refreshing after reading all of the propaganda from many of the other agencies.  I've traveled through Russia several times, and have learned many of the truths you list on your site first hand.

William, USA


I would like to thank Elena Petrova and her web-site for the truth about Russian women. I learned more from her web-site in 1 hour than I could in a lifetime. In the USA, my only exposure to these women was from movies and magazines. My experience has left me with a new impression about Russian women and maybe someday I can find one the right way.

Keith, USA


You have done some great things for single men, Elena. The Blacklist, your websites, John's websites and most importantly, your honesty. While there are many websites and agencies, you always stand out for your honesty and for your willingness to take the first step in doing the correct thing. You do not think like most people involved in this business. They think 'How can this benefit ME?' You don't do that. You think of what can be most helpful to ALL and sometimes it is not a direct benefit to you in terms of money. But your reputation benefits from your actions every time. 

Tony,

I would just like to say that I am impressed with the sincere and honest answers you provide to men who may be pursuing a Russian woman's interest.  It is nice to see, for once, a woman's point of view instead of the typical "ad agency hype" or "testimonials" that were written from a man's perspective.  Thanks also, for helping to dispel some of the misinformation and over-generalizations floating around the Internet about Russia in general.

Jack


I wish to thank you for your site; had I seen it three years ago, it would saved a lot of heartbreak and money.

Joseph, USA


Wow! I happened across your web site quite by accident. And like a good book, I have hardly been able to put it down!

Chris, South Africa


I just returned from Russia, and I wish I had  read your articles prior to my trip. They have answered a lot of my questions and explained my Fiancee's actions in certain circumstances. I will recommend your site to anyone thinking of seeking a Russian bride.

Richard, USA


Very Very good, HONEST & entertaining story ! We need MORE people like you who can cut right through Bull***t to get to the heart of the matter! Thanks !! (anonymous)

Personal Experiences
First-hand experience from men who are, like you, seeking their perfect Russian bride (new stories are welcome; send all, good and bad!):

  • Why Look for a Wife in Russia? - By Clinton Carey: "One day, over a beer with my brother, he suggested to me that I place an ad on the Internet with a matchmaking agency. I laughed, and dismissed the idea. As the weeks went on, I thought to myself, "Why not? I travel a lot. I don't have time to meet women normally, and I definitely don't like the bar scene with its' head games and lack of quality in both men and women. So, I placed an ad..."

  • TONGUE IN CHEEK: The Dirty Lowdown on International Dating - by Dawk Ziti: "One day, Lisa and I were driving around, and she said, "I would very much like to get married." I did not stop to ask her whom she had in mind; instead, I zoomed into a church, perhaps a little too fast, as I barreled past the parvis, plowed through the ceiling-to-floor stained-glass window, and crashed into the first few rows of pews..."

  • There's No Shipping Cost for True Love - By Jim Collins: "You should see Don's wife," said Vern, "I'm tellin' ya, she could be a model. He got her from Russia -- one of those mail order brides. He says she keeps the house spotless and hardly ever complains..."

  • Trip Report - by Dave Fuller: "She seemed to lack a lot of self-confidence and was a sad person. Well, did I read her wrong from her letters. She was none of these. She was charming, cheerful, intelligent and friendly. She was also very beautiful as well..."

  • Just a Start - A letter to My Family
    by Rick Gilman: 
    "From the beginning, I thought Irina was a bright girl, and sweet too. And of course I though she was very pretty - a brunette with lovely green eyes, very slim..."

  • My personal experience of finding a Russian wife
    by Greg Wilson: "My personal experience of finding a Russian wife began several years back. I was home one day watching a television program about several beautiful Russian women indicating that they were interested in marrying men from countries outside the former Soviet Union..."

  • My other half, my soul mate
    by Warren D. Wheatle: "I remember a conversation I had with my Father one  day on the verandah. Saying to him that I really think the person I am to be with is not even here in Australia, but somewhere else in this big world. And the chances of us ever meeting were millions to one..."

  • Strange way maybe the best way - by Steve Chapple: "It seems a rather unusual way to meet your wife, but maybe it's the best way, getting to know someone's personality via letters and conversations before meeting in person and hormones start affecting thoughts and decisions..."
