Christina Rihanoff from the Far East, Vladivostok became the latest celebrity in England when it was in Strictly Come Dancing competition BBC.

Like many women who grew up in post-Soviet Russia, it is hard, but inspiring story.

So read the story of her carefully.

Because Christina is a classic "good Russian woman," and many of the things that she says illustrates this fine.

I passed the following article to my wife Lena and she found herself in complete agreement with it. Her twin sister and several of her girlfriends (see above) are currently dealing with the normal trials and tribulations of being a single girl and dealing with the more negative aspects of the dating in Russia and the FSU.

So in case you haven’t noticed yet…

It ain’t easy being a single girl in this part of the world. And indeed many of the married women also have more then their share of troubles as well. So with this in mind there has always been a great deal of speculation on behalf of these ladies as to what Men are like on the outside.
