Dating Russian Women
Will it be from Russia with love or will you get the cold shoulder?
Dating Russian women has really taken off and there are now many agencies who specialise in putting European and American men in touch with women from behind what was once the Iron Curtain. Is this a good way to find love and romance? We investigate the pros and cons of dating Russian women.The concept of the dull-eyed, hideously ugly 'Olga the pop-rivet welder' (a figment of anti-Russian propaganda) has long-since been banished and this brings me to a personal tale which still makes me smile.
I was fortunate enough to visit Russia just after the end of the fall of Communism on a two-week break with my (then) new wife. We had the typical tourist package of a week in Moscow and a week in St Petersburg. The food was dreadful and the entertainment non-existent so we were sitting in the hotel bar having a drink and discussing what we had seen (which for me had been some very interesting sights and some of those had been female).
