The phrase once said by Lenin, "every kitchen maid will be able to govern the country”, is now particularly opportune. And that’s not because the head of state is a mediocrity. No! Quoting Lenin, the emphasis has always been placed on the word "kitchen maid". It is widely believed that the leader of the proletariat commented negatively on women whom he never imagined in the role of rulers and saw no future prospects to change his views anyway. It might be symbolic, however, that his words were precisely about ‘kitchen maids’, not ‘janitors’...

Since the day the phrase was said, a lot of water has passed under the bridges. But no Russian woman has yet been in control of the state and will never be. This is an old tradition in Russia: all leaders are men. At least a significant part of top executives belongs primarily to the stronger sex.

And women’s salary, by the way, is by an order of magnitude lower ... Now in Russia the salary of professional ladies will make an average of 64% of the salary of men in a similar position. It is discrimination, no doubt about it! Experts note that at present, the infringement of the ladies’ rights in the labor market has reached its highest level in 50 years. See for yourself: the salary is lower, as a rule; when hiring, preference is given to men, and by dismissal – to women… And only in the distant future, according to the website gazeta.ru with reference to the Guardian, there may be changes. Thus, according to experts' forecasts, women will start to earn equal with men amounts of pay only in 2057.

Generally speaking, such discrimination is observed in other countries, too, but here it is progressing. It is believed that the stronger sex has a different temperament: they are more structured in their decisions, may show greater objectivity, while women are giddy-brained and too often on maternity leave. However, this view is erroneous. Career ladies, who have experience of office work and are established in the professional sense, can have children, hire a nanny, and go back to work. In this case, the employer does not lose anything. Meanwhile, men, in contrast to the ladies, do not take maternity leave, but instead they demand more pay and do not plan to temper their ambitions.

Judging from the photos below it looks like Ms. Antonenko had some incredible and worthy competition to contend with in-order to reach the top.

But with stunning movie star looks combined with a smoldering sultry appeal I can easily understand why she took the top prize.

I’ve known a few great ladies from Yekaterinburg so the fact that she comes from this region makes her that much more endearing to me.  If you’re ever thinking of visiting Russia then this would be a great place to start.    (I’ve even included a few photos from the Miss Yekaterinburg beauty pageant as well.

First off..

I’d like to wish a very special Happy Valentines Day to all the Lovely Ladies I know who read and enjoy this blog.

You know who you are and you certainly deserve all the Romance, Love and Joy in the world.  :)

What are the warning signs we should look for in the e-mails we receive from women in russia. i know if they ask for $$ to cut and run, but there must be other “tricks” they use. is there a list available for us to read. thanks for all your help and the info....

Well, the snow melts and Spring is here.

And although I would like to tell you that Russia is a great spring ..

To start this season is just the opposite.

Because now it's really dirty, muddy and messy affair.

Walking around town is like to go maze filled with traps dirt, oil spots and slushy pools of black water.

If you come to Russia in the Summertime ..

You will find that there are any number of local sponsor beauty contests going on.

One of the nice things about them from my point of view is that there is absolutely no doubt in itself or political correctness used to criticize or avoid these events, as they sometimes do in the West.

Instead, it's really a great feeling when you can just .. well .. celebrate the truly beautiful women for who they are and be inspired by it just by the nature of the mother it is intended from the outset.

These open-air beauty contest is always fun and popular events to go. In fact, of course, much of the cultural fabric in Russia and CIS.

Hi Everyone,

I never thought I'd have to set out some rules for discussion, but our readers to the volume at a level that we need to set down a good recommendation.

First ..

In case you have not noticed by now ..

This blog is all about the celebration of the beautiful and traditional women ..

And since I'm in this part of the world, my main focus is on women in Russia ..

Have you ever wondered why so we are glad the beauty of nature? Why animals and plants seem so beautiful? Everything in nature is effective and is not affected, otherwise he would not be able to live. Hippopotamus, which seems so heavy and clumsy, was faster than in its natural state than one can be, and it's really beautiful. Meanwhile, a legless and slippery snake moves so beautiful and fast that we could do, but I wonder how he manages.


 The very idea of beauty inseparable from rationality. It is rationality that makes us create lovely cars and stylish ocean ships and admire the men and beautiful women, muscular body shape. Inextricable link between rationality and beauty is a rule for all living things and the main indicator of quality. That is why in our desire to be selected by the opposite sex, we try to look attractive. 


 All bread is baked in the oven, so people differ in their natural form. Some of them are naturally thin, others hard. But the fashion changes from time to time and presses its standards for all. How can I find some of its measures for the beauty and attractiveness? Where is the border between shortweight, average weight or overweight? Or how is it? Of course there is. The only measure, because it is still defined by rationality or, roughly speaking, health care, energy and mobility.
