Marrying a foreigner became usual thing in Russia and in the West since the Internet was invented. I have even read in one forum disapproving notes of an American woman towards American men for this tendency. In her disapprove she criticizes both sides - Russian women for their wish to leave this "awful country of Russia" at any cost and even at the cost of getting married to an old and bald man, and for the men the blame was that some of them being old and bald desperately wish to have young sexy Russian brides believing that these women will love them just for bringing them over there. I think she is right disapproving men. For one thing I could not have held myself from asking the question - "has she ever been to Russia". I did not receive the answer for that question. Why do you think there are so many cases of scam? Numerous cases of scam show that many Russian women feel quite comfortable at home and try to use "Russian brides" sites for money interest.
The position of the society in both parts of the world, Russia and the West, is usually negative. Western people who have in some or other way dealt with Russian women and "Russian dating" generated a lot of opinions. Many of them are just myths or far away from reality. As a citizen of one of the ex soviet republics I have right to correct or oppose them. I will do it later. Now I want to tell a little bit about Russia. Russia today is not that rich as some western developed countries because there are economical and political difficulties in many regions. But Russia is improving and getting richer incredibly fast and in many regions and big cities situation is quite well. I don't know why, but many western mass media try to show situation of things about Russia worse then in reality.
So why there are so many the online services with thousands of beautiful Russian women targeted at western auditory? In my opinion the answer is very simple - it is just a dream selling business. On the first most visited pages of the "Russian dating" sites you can see selected beautiful faces. This dream selling business is for both participants - for western men and for Russian women. Many people were disillusioned because the differences in cultures and life stiles are quite big. Some naive Russian girls believe that they will get into colorful life as in Hollywood movies but not in everyday routine. And I think this business exist not only because many Russian women want to settle in the USA or other rich countries but because western men need it and are desperate to find qualities they think western women lack. However, there are many cases of happy examples of marriage.
Actually, it is not bad if a man wants to find a Russian woman for relationships. He can find a perfect life partner. But it could be mistake to believe in some myths about Russian women and for women to believe in myth about life in America. That is why a man deciding to sign up in some or other online "Russian dating" sites should search not a Russian woman but just a good woman; after all she could be Russian. But I believe you can build good relationships with Russian woman if you like and understand Russia, accept all plusses and minuses of Russia, if you can understand a little bit of Russian language, Russian culture, and make some efforts to study Russian language. You will lose if you consider like "I will take away from that "awful country of Russia" a woman and she should be thankful to me for the rest of her life". I know one example of very happy marriage between a Dutchman and an Ukraine woman. He came to Kiev, very beautiful city and capital of Ukraine, in order to be with her. He could have allowed this move because he has business on the Internet and for him the place of living does not matter.
One of the mistakes when western men search for "Russian brides" is that they search in sites created just for this purpose because "Russian brides" sites are usually limited by 3 countries: Russia, Ukraine, and Byelorussia. The previous USSR included 15 republics, like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia...There is a lot of Russian women and can be less cases of scam because Russian women in those countries would leave these republics more willingly to find a foreigner husband. The reason is simple. For this search will do usual dating sites with big databases. Just try to browse personal ads of the members from any ex soviet republics in datingforsingle.com. In Russia the business "find a husband abroad" or "find a Russian bride online" was born when the situation was far away from stability and many women wanted to find better and stable life abroad. Many "Russian brides" sites made a lot of money then. Webmasters seeing that financial success are developing these kinds of sites and agencies in big quantities and now. But today this business turns to be tricky because a competition is fierce. Touching previous soviet republics I can say that Russian women there will respond you more willingly if you email them.
Before you make your own conclusions about Russian women or if you want to get some experience how to communicate with Russian women, to know more about Russian women or to find a Russian girlfriend the source http://www.chatplusflirt.com can be interesting for you. It is the popular Russian dating portal. It is on Russian language because created for Russian speaking people around the world. But it is extremely easy to use, most simplified, and absolutely free to send and receive messages if you find someone attractive interesting and want to contact. I would not recommend you to search there for serious relationships. There you can find a lot of pen pals of women from Russia, from all ex soviet republics, and IN YOUR AREA DIRECTLY. There are many wherever you live - America, Europe, Australia. Though many members of this site can understand English language, especially if you contact Russian women living in your country, the site can be useful for you if you want to pick up a little bit of Russian language.

The A to Z of Russian and Soviet Cinema is the first reference work of its kind in the English language devoted entirely to the cinema of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and the post-Soviet period, including both the cinematic highlights and the mainstream.

Soviet Railways to Russian Railways $130 In the postsoviet decade Russian railways remained highly centralised, evaded the upheavals of mass privatisation, and remained the backbone of a demoralised economy. Preserving much of Soviet practice, the Railways Ministry mounted a skilled rearguard action that achieved a gradual and considered adaptation to the market economy rather than the pell-mell, western-orientated, liberalisation that afflicted other branches of the economy. This book describes that rearguard action, and goes on to show how railway managers are coping with the new conditions. |

The Post-Soviet Russian Media $46.66 This book explores developments in the Russian mass media since the collapse of the USSR in 1991. Complementing and building upon its companion volume, Television and Culture in Putin's Russia: Remote Control, it traces the tensions resulting from the effective return to state-control under Putin of a mass media privatised and accorded its first, limited, taste of independence in the Yeltsin period. It surveys the key developments in Russian media since 1991, including the printed press, television and new media, and investigates the contradictions of the post-Soviet media market that have affected the development of the media sector in recent years. It analyses the impact of the Putin presidency, including the ways in which the media have constructed Putin's image in order to consolidate his power and their role in securing his election victories in 2000 and 2004. It goes on to consider the status and function of journalism in post-Soviet Russia, discussing the conflict between market needs and those of censorship, the gulf that has arisen separating journalists from their audiences. The relationship between television and politics is examined, and also the role of television as entertainment, as well as its role in nation building and the projection of a national identity. Finally, it appraises the increasingly important role of new media and the internet. Overall, this book is a detailed investigation of the development of mass media in Russia since the end of Communism and the collapse of the Soviet Union. |

Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Intelligence $33.19 At its peak, the KGB (Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti) was the largest secret police and espionage organization in the world. It became so influential in Soviet politics that several of its directors moved on to become premiers of the Soviet Union. In fact, Russian president Vladimir V. Putin is a former head of the KGB. The GRU (Glavnoye Razvedyvatelnoe Upravlenie) is the principal intelligence unit of the Russian armed forces, having been established in 1920 by Leon Trotsky during the Russian civil war. The GRU was the first subordinate to the KGB, and while the KGB broke up with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the GRU remains intact, cohesive, highly efficient, and with far greater resources than its civilian counterparts. These are just two of the long list of Russian and Soviet intelligence agencies that are covered in the Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Intelligence. Through a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on organizations like the Oprichnina, Okhrana, GPU, NKVD, KGB, GRU, Smersh, SVR, and FSB, a clear picture of the history of this subject is presented. Entries also cover Soviet and Russian leaders, leading intelligence and security officers, the Lenin and Stalin purges, the Gulag, and noted espionage cases. |

The Occult in Russian and Soviet Culture $41.93 A pioneering, richly interdisciplinary volume, this is the first work in any language on a subject that has long attracted interest in the West and is now of consuming interest in Russia itself. The cultural ferment unleashed by the collapse of the Soviet Union reawakened interest in the study of Russian religion and spirituality. This book provides a comprehensive account of the influence of occult beliefs and doctrines on intellectual and cultural life in twentieth-century Russia. Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal's introduction delineates the characteristics of occult cosmology which distinguish it from mysticism and theology, and situates Russian occultism in historical and pan-European contexts. Contributors explore the varieties of occult thinking characteristic of prerevolutionary Russia, including Kabbala, theosophy, anthroposophy, and the fascination with Satanism. Other contributors document occultism in the cultural life of the early Soviet period, examine the surprising traces of the occult in the culture of the high Stalin era, and describe the occult revival in contemporary Russia. The volume includes bibliographical essays on Russian occult materials available outside Russia. Contributors: Mikhail Agursky, Hebrew University; Valentina Brougher, Georgetown University; Maria Carlson, University of Kansas; Robert Davis, New York Public Library; Mikhail Epstein, Emory University; Kristi Groberg, North Dakota State University; Irina Gutkin, UCLA; Michael Hagemeister, Ruhr University, Bochum; Linda Ivanits, Pennsylvania State University; Edward Kasinec, New York Public Library; Judith Deutsch Kornblatt, University of Wisconsin; Hakan L vgren, Independent Scholar; Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal, Fordham University; William F.

Biographical Dictionary of Russian/Soviet Composers $203.93 This important new biographical dictionary is the most comprehensive single-volume work on Russian and Soviet composers published outside of the Soviet Union to date. Incorporating contributions by a distinguished group of performers, musicologists, and other scholars, including many specialists in Russian music, it provides detailed, up-to-date information on over 2,000 composers, the majority of whom are not represented in other English-language references. Entries vary from brief profiles of lesser-known figures to lengthy articles on major Russian and Soviet composers. Each of the longer essays summarizes current scholarship on the composer, offers new insights, and complements or corrects coverage available in standard music references. Commentary on musical style is presented in most entries, and musical influences are clarified through careful documentation of teacher-student relationships. The biographical section is followed by a selective list of compositions arranged according to media and genre. The accompanying bibliography lists works consulted as well as sources of additional information on the individual composer, and an international discography documents the breadth of the repertory committed to phonodisc, tape, and compact disc. Thorough cross-referencing facilitates the location of materials. Reflecting meticulous research and including first-hand information supplied by living Soviet composers, this work makes a significant contribution to music scholarship. This book is recommended for library reference shelves and courses in Russian music. |

Soviet Russian Literature Since Stalin $84.44 This study describes and evaluates the main trends in Soviet Russian prose and poetry since the death of Stalin in the light of the cultural, ideological, social and political developments of the past quartercentury. It relates the literary history of the period to the evolution of Soviet literature as a whole, and is the only study to approach the topic so comprehensively and in such depth. Professor Brown begins with an account of the general literary situation as it evolved during this period and describes how the Soviet literary community is organised. He then examines Soviet poets who have written since 1953 and traces the general thematic and stylistic trends that their writing represents. Beginning with Akhmatova, Pasternak, and other members of the generation of Soviet poets who established their greatness before the Revolution, the author discusses this and each succeeding generation. He concludes with a consideration of the postWorld War II generation as exemplified by Voznesensky and Evtushenko.

Russian Nationalism and the Politics of Soviet Literature $105 Russian nationalism, increasingly important as the Russian Federation finds its place in the world, is not a new phenomenon. Who were the Russian nationalists before the creation of today's Russia? What were their views? What was their political influence? This book seeks answers to these questions by looking in detail at the last decade of the USSR through the eyes of a group of Russian nationalist intellectuals gathered around the literary journal Nash sovremennik . The author suggests that, in the Twenty-first-century, a specifically Russian type of nationalism, ethnic and statist, could provide the ideological underpinning for a new authoritarianism. |

Russian Nationalism in the Soviet Union, 19171991 $37.22 The Soviet Union, by the time of its creation, was the first modern state that had to confront the rising issue of nationalism. With a progressive nationality policy, it systematically promoted the national consciousness of its ethnic minorities and established for them institutional forms comparable of a modern state. In the 1920s, the Bolsheviks, seeking to defuse national sentiment, created hundreds of national territories. They trained new national leaders, established national languages, and financed national cultural products. This was a massive historical experiment in governing a multiethnic state. Later under Stalin, these policies had to be revised to comply with emerging domestic and international problems, which resulted from those once progressive policies.This paper will present the issue of Russian nationalism and nationality policy in the Soviet Union. The analysis will be based on six different monographs dealing with the issue at different periods of Soviet history. Each has a different approach and at times a different thesis on Russian nationalism or an interpretation of the political events accompanying the Soviet nationality policy. First, on the following pages, I will give a brief summary of the six books discussed in this paper. Then, I will tell the main thesis of each book and underlie it by the authors arguments. In the conclusion, I will compare the books arguments in a historiographical manner and see where similarities between the arguments exist, where the books complement each other and at which points they disagree with each other. At the end, I will try to give a comprehensive overview of the issue discussed, due to the frame and limited space of this paper.

Soviet and Russian Press Coverage of the United States $132 This book examines changing Soviet and Russian press coverage of the United States from the emergence of Mikhail Gorbachev through the presidency of Vladimir Putin. A new afterword focuses on recent developments in the Russian media and Russian press coverage of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Becker argues that due to the absence of a language to support the reform strategy, the Soviet press presented positive images of its chief ideological and military opponent, the United States, as a means of supporting political, social and economic reform. He suggests that the end of the Cold War and the emergence of a more self-confident Russia means that the symbolic and discursive significance of the United States for Russia has diminished. |
