15 post-USSR Republics
All 15 republics of the former Soviet Union became independent countries. Some of them grew rather unfriendly to each other.
The 3 largest and best known are Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. Others that you might have heard about are Belarus and Armenia. For example, Kim Kardashian has Armenian roots: Her father was a third generation Armenian. The surname “Kardashian” is an Armenian surname.
Some of the post-USSR republics became members of the European Union: Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. These republics are also called “Baltic” countries. Women from these countries, although they could be considered as Eastern Europeans, are more westernized as compared to the rest of the post-Soviet space.
All 15 post-Soviet republics:
- Russia
- Ukraine
- Kazakhstan
- Belarus
- Moldova
- Uzbekistan
- Armenia
- Georgia
- Tadzhikistan
- Kyrgyzstan
- Turkmenistan
- Azerbaijan
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Estonia
Part of these republics have their territory lying in Central Asia, and not Europe.
You may not have known that Kim Kardashian has connection to Eastern Europe. Her father was Armenian.
Relationships with Eastern European girls from the former USSR
Ladies from the former USSR also are sometimes collectively called “Former Soviet Union” women (or FSU).
If you are thinking of starting a relationship with a lady from these countries, the simplest explanation of how they expect men to behave is to think of 1950s in America or Europe. How gentlemen were supposed to court women, this is what is in vogue for girls from the former Soviet Union today.
Why? Because in the Soviet Union women and men were basically genderless. Both were called “comrade” (tovarisch). Once the USSR collapsed in 1991, the gender culture moved in the opposite direction, towards a stronger gender differentiation. It seemed logical for the society, which was pressured to be “equal in everything” regardless of the gender.
While western women were trying to move to a more equal standing during 1990s and feminism was pushing for more rights for ladies, in Russia the cultural notion was to go ladylike.
This is why if you adopt attitudes of old-fashioned gentlemen (pre-sexual revolution times), you will be the most revered among modern Russian and Ukrainian females. They are put off by “no-strings-attached” hook up dating culture and strive to seek meaningful relationships leading to a lifetime commitment.
Women from the former USSR countries like to be courted.

I have a crazy question, Elena. When, in correspondence with my lady, should I tell her I can’t have kids due to a health scare I had almost 20 years ago? Speaking of that, would those ladies want to be with somebody like me, a man who can’t have kids? Thank you.
David, if you do want children, it is much easier today with IVF and the use of donor genetic material, this may be even covered by your government health insurance. If you don’t want to have kids, you can simply state that in your profile. Not all Eastern European girls want to have children. “I want to create a family” in Russian actually only means “I want to get married.”
