But hey ..

I do not think I could have done better to write such an article was inspired by our favorite women in Russia itself.

But in ANYCASE ..

I can certainly relate to this guy.

And at the same time ..

The essence of Russia: Devushki, Zhenshchiny, grandmother

I believe that Russia is a country of women. Without questioning the value of men in Russia - and given the huge Russian cultural, artistic and religious values ​​and relics, which ultimately affects the majority of visitors (obviously including me) during a trip to Russia Russian women.
Russian women experience more than Russian men. Yes, whether you are a man or woman in Russia for a long business trip, an emigrant, a tourist for just a few days, or if you are a student or retiree, what do you remember about your Russian experience, above all, his woman, then goes to all the rest.
In fact, although the Russian men - a Russian woman - warm by nature, they do not tend to care too much about their appearance, making them less startling than a woman when you just look at them. This does not mean that they are not intelligent, educated, kind and sensitive to their needs and desires of women. For example, compared with foreign men in this respect, even in their own country they seem to be very closed and resistance to change - this is especially true for the current generation of middle-aged man. The younger generation definitely has more access to international standards and trends, as well as, possibly due to a strong curiosity, they learn to care more about their appearance.
Should I ask right now that when we speak about Russian women I am not only referring to its indisputable beauty? Maybe I should: well, I just send my thoughts to one of the most common international stereotypes (and reality): the amazing beauty of Russian women. But I can not ignore it either. While the reality is evident to gather around the big cities such as Moscow or St. Petersburg, as well as in rural areas, winter or summer, the second dimension amazing opportunity to shadow the charm of Russian beauty.
This is probably the main reason why Russian women seem so interesting, engaging and memorable - their strength of character, which, of course, allows them to fight to "survive", advance and succeed in a highly competitive environment of modern Russia, without affecting the their exquisite natural softness. They usually have a high level of education, as well as enjoy the openness, intelligence and pragmatism, and this, combined with their strong ethics in the workplace, where they will be reliable and hardworking, can make them exemplary employees.
Their attributes include a clear definition of personal goals and achieving them in sequence, the ability to always guide and support their partners in good times and bad, and a proven ability to overcome any difficulty, while still remaining feminine, regardless of socio-economic context in which they are. Is not it too much? It is not.
And we return to the beauty of Russian women. In their convergence with the natural beauty of Russian women - it seems crystal clear - these days are extremely determined to prove her femininity, to be and look like women, regardless of their income and personal situation.
Russian women seem to do anything mission of assessing their femininity with the dress code, careful makeup and high heels, they seem to never leave: in the office, visiting shopping malls, walk with friends, walking with children in supermarkets in the park or a museum, no matter, they will drive a car or take the underground, and sometimes even ignoring the complex Russian weather or road and sidewalk conditions.
Why, you ask? Simply put, the Russian women want to be beautiful and attractive. And they succeed because they know how to do it without insulting their intelligence, their dignity as a woman, and, of course, without the merchandising of their body. It has nothing to do with feminism in Russia. It is about culture, education and desire.
As a visitor, it is important not to confuse the dress code, which can sometimes leave a little imagination, an invitation to approach a woman believing she may be somehow "easy". Instead, you can easily avoid a bad first impression, just do not think that everything you see, is obvious. Era Russian women are looking for foreigners to flee Russia and improve their living conditions finally ended. The opposite may be true now.
Of course, this is not the only differentiating factors of Russian women, but I believe that this combination may explain why many non-Russian men fall in love with Russian women, although they can keep forever struggling with cultural differences. But it's definitely a different story.
What I think is important to consider when striving to understand Russian women today is the historical context that contributed to the conditions and the common elements, you can see in their personality.
Just study the recent history of Russia personally helped me a lot, with progressively understand and appreciate the positive aspects of my now many years of experience in the country, as well as clarifying many of the more or less obvious and strong paradoxes and contradictions that characterize everyday life in contemporary Russia.
In fact, although the situation is gradually changing for the better with the advantages of wealth spreading from Russia has been generating in recent years, I am confident that together with the impression of Russian women that you bring from your experience of Russia are the extremes, you'll notice just going around country, and - if you stay long enough - you can come to fight. Either way, the citizens of Russia are fighting against them almost every day, and be sure that they will gradually solve them, at least the most pressing ones.
