I don't know about Russian people, but Russian women are considered very " attainable" all over Europe and US. Maybe it's due to the fact hordes of Russian women marry US men for US citizenship?
Also, Russian girls who come to US to work for the summer sleep around with dozens of complete strangers(seen it with my own eyes!) and their price is very low. But I have to say most are very very good-looking and warm.
On your question, my imprssion is that on the whole, US people hold reat respect for Russian culture, with just a hunt of suspicion.


I assume you meant "hint" rather than "hunt"...

When it comes to "hordes" of women who marry Americans... I believe the actual numbers are not that large. In that regard, you have to look at Russia the way you would look at any developing country. Much of the country is still poor. It's well known that women outnumber men in many regions of Russia, so many Russian women desperate for normal life, turn to westerners. Americans are more accepting for other cultures and languages, so Americans are a natural choice.

Well said...and it is a smaller number than percieved, and actually I am finding out that quite a few American women have married Russian men. One of the former owners in the company at which my business is...he married a women from Moldova...says she is Russian. Of course I beg to differ. But yes lots of women in Russia...lot's of opportunities in the USA...it's ideal when everything comes together to create the most ideal situation

"Night watch" is a B-- movie, if you want to see a fantastic/horror movie better choose an American one.
If you are interested in russian acting, I recommend you "the barber of siberia" (100% russian) or "East-West", this one is french but a lot of russian actors play in.


You better read book. The book far more interesting than movie.

I've only been to Russia 5 times. I had a blast everytime. I've always been treated well. Russians are the best and they know how to party. Can't wait to go back for another visit. David Smile
