| The rapidly increasing economic pressure and the desire to create a successful happy family have made Russian women turn to the West for better prospects. Marriages to western men have become the latest trend in Russia. The number of marriage services promoting cross-cultural marriages doubles yearly.For most Russian ladies to be a homemaker in Russia is a luxury. The unstable economic situation has forced females to seek jobs in order to provide for their families. Infrequent are cases when Russian males can earn enough, thus that their wives can stay at home. Russian females consider it very difficult to make a career and are paid far less than their male counterparts. Even a successful career does not guarantee a good standard of living.Educated Russian girls consider it easier to blend with a western life-style. They are confident that marriage to a foreign man will enable them to find a better life for themselves. The ability to combine a career with household duties makes them perfect wives for western males.Due to the social and economic pressures a considerably huge percentage of Russian men have addicted to alcohol. Besides, Russian men normally spend time with friends, chase after other ladies, drink and are reluctant to help about the house.The current demographic situation in Russia is veyr acute, too. Women outnumber males by approximately 12 percent in the age group of 30 and above. Thus, Russian ladies have fewer opportunities of finding a suitable life partner in the homeland.Ladies who lack confidence, put up with the terrible behaviour of their husbands, others break off the relationships. A large number of Russian girls suppose that foreign males make better life partners, because they are more liberated, family-oriented in comparison with Russian men, as well as will pitch in with the domestic chores.So, desperate Russian females leave the homeland in search of stable, economically secure life overseas. In their quest for a stable and financially secure life, Russian females are even open to marriage to mature foreign men.As for foreign males, the increasing rate of divorce and a considerable decline in family values have made many foreigners turn to Russian females for emotional comfort. |
