A Russian Bride Guide

In our last issue we gave some ideas for communicating with Russian Women. Today is the 7th of March and the day before what is possibly the most important holiday for Russian Women all year. The 8th of March (Восьмое марта – pronounced Vosmoye Marta) for the entire world this day is known as International Womens Day but Russian Women see this as a special celebration. March 8th is a day when men all over Russia will shower the women in their lives with gifts, flowers and special wishes on this special day for them. Be sure to wish your Russian Woman a happy Vosmoye Marta on Monday and if possible be sure to send a gift of beautiful flowers to let her know how much you care. The equivalent of this holiday in the west would be St. Valentines Day so if you think of it in those terms I think you can get the idea. Happy Vosmoye Marta!!!

Well, now that you have stumbled upon this page my guess is that either you are looking into the international dating world or you are already married to a Russian woman. There is much information out there, as well as misinformation. There is also a great opportunity to find the love of your life as I did 14 years ago. 

I was luckier than most because I was learning the Russian language and happened to meet my beautiful wife on the shores of the Black Sea in Sochi, Russia. Today the process of meeting Russian women has become much more accessible yet much more complicated at the same time. In these pages I intend to post regularly with relative information that will help those intent on seeking a relationship with a woman of the FSU as well as offer advice to those already along in the process.

Topics will range from how to evaluate the various agencies, what resources can be trusted for advice and warnings, how to go about building a relationship with a FSU woman as well as information on language, culture and how to obtain a fiance visa. Please feel free to comment on posts and also suggest future post topics. Also, sign up for our discussion forum as you will be sure to find lively conversation there on the topics as well.
