Russian Girls vs. Ukraine Girls sssaka "Russian Brides" and "Ukraine Brides"

by Elena Petrova (Elena's Models)

Russian girls and Russian brides have been popular for a long time but since recently Ukraine girls and Ukraine brides are claiming the top spot for "foreign brides

What are the reasons behind this phenomena and what is the difference between Russian girls and Ukraine girls ?

The simple reason why Ukrainian girls (aka " Ukrainian brides ") became so popular is that Ukraine allows visa-free access to visitors from United States and European Union, so men seeking foreign brides can visit Ukraine easily - just buy a ticket and jump on the plane!

This is why Ukraine girls and Ukraine brides seem to be easier accessible and as such, more popular.

Economically Russia advanced significantly during the recent years and Russian brides, especially Russian girls from Moscow and St. Petersburg - two cosmopolitan Russian capitals - can be somewhat choosier, so western men seeking younger women may feel they have better luck with young Ukrainian brides.

This comes hand in hand with the usual trend of girls from regional towns being more open and cordial than girls from capitals, so even though the "warmth vs. aloofness" comparison between Russian brides and Ukraine brides may hold true, a Russian girl from a smaller regional town can be more cordial than a Ukraine girl from the capital Kiev.

Also, the farther a town is from the capitals, the warmer and more down-to-earth are the girls: i.e. a Russian girl from a large city in Siberia will be usually more down-to-earth than a girl from a smaller town near Moscow.

Girls from smaller and more distant towns also tend to be more accepting of age difference and more open to relocating to a non-city area than girls from capitals, who often believe they will not survive without seeing a theatre play or an art exhibition at least once a month. Since smaller regional towns are less accessible, foreign men tend to mostly visit girls from capitals and girls from regional towns .

And whilst there are always individual differences and every Russian girl and Ukrainian girl is unique, these trends tend to be true in general.

However, Ukrainian girls' popularity among western men seeking younger women also means that there is more competition to meet Ukraine girls than to meet Russian girls and you may have better success with Russian girls than with Ukrainian girls. Also, if you are looking for an educated and sophisticated modern woman, you will find them easier in Russian capitals (Moscow and St. Petersburg). If you are looking for a stay-at-home housewife, you will find them easier in smaller towns in Ukraine and Russia.

All in all, both Russian girls and Ukraine girls are very family oriented and value marriage highly and if you don't want to bother obtaining visas, you can always meet in a third country such as Turkey, Thailand, Cyprus or Caribbean Islands. The most important is to find the right girl!

Good luck!

With my best wishes, Elena

Russian Women Success Story:

"YES, it's possible!"

what Russian women want

After being a member of Elena's Models for about 3 months and written to many girls, I received a letter from Elena. I replied, and the sparks started flying from there.

To cut a long story short, Elena and I decided to meet on neutral ground and spent two weeks together in Thailand and it was clear from the start that we were made for each other. 

We were married March 12th this year. It is almost like we are joined at the hip....we have so much in common and we are very much in love.

Yours sincerely,
Mel and Elena
