AboutKatya Expertise I am Russian, I was a child when I emigrated, and felt like I had lost my roots for a while. So when the time came, I studied a bit about my own culture, and sort of reclaimed my heritage. I hope I know a fair bit about Russia, not only from being Russia and speaking Russian etc. but also through my own journey of finding out more about Russian culture.
Experience I am Russian and have studied a bit about Russian culture, as well as doing a intercultural communication course at university.
Organizations World Vision.
Education/Credentials One year left of my bachelor degree in international relations.
Lots of reasons that I could think of: firstly and foremostly, Russian men aren't stereotyped to be the 'perfect' husband, whilst a lot of the stereotyping that goes on about Russian women is that they're gorgeous, they cook well, they're good in bed, they clean the house well etc.etc. Then, more importantly, there's I guess the money factor: more women need the $$$, especially when they're looking to give their kids a 'better life', than do men (yes, I know a lot of Russian mail order brides might get offended, but I think more often than not they do it for the money usually mixed in with these dreams of a foreigner coming and sweeping them off thier feet which is not usually the case).
So far that's the reasons I could think of, but I'm sure there's far more!
