Russian wives used to be exotic. When the iron curtain fell in 1990s, Russian and post-Soviet women were something unknown and mysterious. The interest was mutual: Women from the countries of the former Soviet Union were as excited about foreign men as western guys were curious about Russian girls.
Fast-forward 25 years and we are in 2016. Is there still any advantage in seeking a Russian wife? Why so many men are trying to find a potential lifetime partner in the countries of the former Soviet Union?
Is there still an advantage in finding a Russian wife?
In short, yes, there are still advantages that Russian wives can offer to their partners.
Girls from the former Soviet Union (FSU) are brought up differently as compared to modern western females. They are not better or worse, just different.
- Russian women believe that for a female her family and marriage should be her highest priority before career.
- FSU girls spend hours daily to look beautiful: Gym, beauty salons, facials, etc. Beauty is their second religion. And who doesn’t want a pretty woman as a wife?
- Russian wives cook. In their countries people still make meals at home and do not purchase pre-cooked frozen dishes or microwavable TV-dinners. In fact, when I tell women on our site that they can freeze some of the food they cook to reheat later, they are bewildered. It’s not something people do there.
- There is a huge competition for girls in Russia to get married and have kids. With only 86 men for 100 women, someone will be left without. They value relationships more.
Husband and kids are the highest priorities for Russian females.
Other advantages for foreign men seeking Russian wives
It’s true that FSU ladies are more tolerant to age difference. Many of the younger females state that age doesn’t matter, as long as there is mutual love. Yes, it does sound somewhat impractical, but this is what the cultural norm is.
In general, females in the post-Soviet countries are slimmer. Partly because they still cook from natural products rather than using pre-cooked meals, which is one of the reasons for the obesity epidemics in the developed world.
The second reason why Russian women are slender is that they still walk a lot, as not every family has a car. The countries have well-developed public transport systems — cities have been build for buses and trams, not for cars. Physical activity in the form of walking is the daily routine for females, which they do not need to schedule in their days but simply do all the time.
Since life in FSU is on average harder, ladies are used to dealing with multiple problems and became more resilient and tolerant to potential hardships. It is a helpful quality in a life partner.
As you can see, there is a wide spectre of advantages to finding a wife in the countries of the former Soviet Union. This is why this topic is still on the agenda, even 25 years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Interesting reading and absolutely fair. But what of the political situation in Russia now? Given the posturing of Mr Putin and the Russian forces against the West, would you consider it “safe” for a western man to court a Russian woman? At what point do you think it might become difficult, perhaps even impossible for ordinary western guys to visit Russia for meetings with Russian women? Obviously no one can know the future but currently things could get difficult. Just interested to hear your thoughts. Regards. Lee
Lee, our clients seeking Russian wives visit the country without problems. Foreign tourism to Russia is on the rise. Russia just hosted the hockey world championship and will host the soccer world championship in 2018. Tens of thousands of foreigners attend these events as well as explore the country as tourists every day.
Which posturing of Mr Putin? Which Russian forces against the West? I only see the imperialistic Nato on behalf of the American neocons provocing Russia. The only reason why we ordinary people in Europe are not vaporized in a nuclear war, wanted by American elite (I did not say people, I said elite) is that Mr Putin is a very wise and calm leader. I am a native Belgian and married to a Russian woman though Elena’s models. It is a pity a lot of people let themselves hypnotised by Goebellian Western propaganda.
“Given the posturing of Mr Putin and the Russian forces against the West,” Really Lee? You must be a politician, or you swallowed the cool-aid of the transatlantic Russia-bashing, war mongering mainstream media, lock stack and barrel. Luckily, not everyone in the west is brainwashed, or folks are waking up from another perspective, as a large majority of people (not politicians) hold Putin in high esteem, and many perceiving him as the greatest leader of our time. Fortunately, even some politicians in the west are wakening up, and here’s an excerpt from a German politician blasting the western media for… Read more »
Hello ladies, I loved this article and am 100% determined to marry a Russian speaking lady after dating a few locally and reading about your culture. I think your woman are more family oriented and faithful than ours, they are more educated and your food supply is better. Its a shame what they do here with our food supply, I have read for many years now medical journals about this topic and my eyes were open to the truth, so I chose very carefully what I eat and try as much as possible to stay organic. Even our medicine and… Read more »
Walter,
If you are thinking of finding a good Russian wife, you may want to re-think posting a photo without a shirt in your online dating profile. 😉
Interesting! I can definitely say that yes, there still are advantages to marry Russian girl. Just because they are clever and pretty 🙂
If Vladimar Putin is a wise and calm leader, then I’m a monkey’s uncle. Not since Adolf Hitler has there been such a danger to world peace. I applied for a visa to visit Russia and was told it would take ‘up to a year’. After six months I gave up.
There is certainly no doubt that Russian women are very attractive, and the value they place on raising a family as opposed to developing a career is indeed impressive. In these regards, Russian women have Western women beat. The fact that the world is increasingly becoming more and more uncivilized as time goes on underscores the need for raising strong, stable families. To their credit, Russian women realize this, and they adjust their priorities accordingly. However, while this is all well and good, it seems that Russian women place way too much emphasis on being the “ideal” woman which, in… Read more »
Andrew,
You touched on a sensitive issue:
“Can Russian women, with all grace and humility, acknowledge and accept their shortcomings and realize that they are no more or less superior than their counterparts around the world?”
FSU girls do believe that “Russian women are the best in the world“, that’s what local media keeps telling them. It’s amusing, as they also have rather low self-esteem based on the fierce competition for eligible males, single girls feel inferior (she has to be married to feel worthy). These beliefs work as a whole to form the archetype of beauty and relationship standards.
My friend, a girl, she lives next door, spent 500 UAN to make a manicure in a nail salon twice a month. She believes, that #manicure is a beauty that can attract a man#. When I said her, that man do not have competence in manicure, she did not agree. The price 250 UAN =10$ can be earned by her for 8 hours of work, and it can be spent to order a train ticket Kiev -Odessa ( roundtrip) as well. Nail salons are widely distributed in Kiev, and girls spent a lot of money for manicure having a goal… Read more »
A.ggg, The sad disappointment in all of this is that men and women all over the world too often pre-occupy themselves with living up to the fashion industry’s “ideal” of what men and women should be (with help from the media) rather than coming to grips with the reality that the standards and trends set forth by the fashion industry are unattainable over the long-term because all of us will eventually lose our looks, our health, our strength, and our virility as we get older. The tactics of the fashion industry are really no different than that of the alcohol… Read more »
A year ago I used to communicate with one Italian man. I was wondering why so handsome and successful man is looking for wife from Russia or another FSU country. And the reason was that the western women are very beautiful but they are empty inside. It sounds offensively to those women but that is what I was answered.
