This is the first website created about Russian women by a Russian woman.
Hi! My name is Elena Petrova, and I am a Russian woman married to a western man. I am glad you have found my site because this is why I created it - to provide information on the process from the Russian woman's point of view. If you wonder what is in the heads of those pretty Russian brides, you are at the right place to eventually find it out! Hundreds of men also contributed to the contents, posting stories about their personal experiences in search for their perfect Russian bride, so you could benefit from their knowledge.
If you are browsing the Internet searching for information regarding Russian women, most of your results will be dating, matchmaking and introduction agencies. I bet you are not sure if they are 100% honest in supplying you with reliable information on the subject - otherwise what are you doing here?
This site will give you a clear idea about "Russian mail order brides"; who they are, what they are like, and why they are so available. I designed it to specifically answer the most important questions and clear up myths and cultural misunderstandings. Russian Brides Cyber Guide's motto is: "Tell it as it is".
If you have a particular question that is not answered on one of these pages, you are welcome to ask me. However, PLEASE read the information on the site before you ask. (At least, look through FAQ.) I love it when people write to me: "I did not have time to read the information on your site, but I want to know...", and then usually ask something like "Why Russian women are seeking men abroad?" I spent years writing all this information. Please devote half an hour to find available answers to your questions. Welcome, and enjoy!
What people say about Russian Brides Cyber Guide
I want to tell you that your site is the first one that I have seen that actually tells it like it is. It's very refreshing after reading all of the propaganda from many of the other agencies. I've traveled through Russia several times, and have learned many of the truths you list on your site first hand.

You have done some great things for single men, Elena. The Blacklist, your websites, John's websites and most importantly, your honesty. While there are many websites and agencies, you always stand out for your honesty and for your willingness to take the first step in doing the correct thing. You do not think like most people involved in this business. They think 'How can this benefit ME?' You don't do that. You think of what can be most helpful to ALL and sometimes it is not a direct benefit to you in terms of money. But your reputation benefits from your actions every time.

I would just like to say that I am impressed with the sincere and honest answers you provide to men who may be pursuing a Russian woman's interest. It is nice to see, for once, a woman's point of view instead of the typical "ad agency hype" or "testimonials" that were written from a man's perspective. Thanks also, for helping to dispel some of the misinformation and over-generalizations floating around the Internet about Russia in general.
I wish to thank you for your site; had I seen it three years ago, it would saved a lot of heartbreak and money.
Joseph, USA
Wow! I happened across your web site quite by accident. And like a good book, I have hardly been able to put it down!

- Why Look for a Wife in Russia? - By Clinton Carey: "One day, over a beer with my brother, he suggested to me that I place an ad on the Internet with a matchmaking agency. I laughed, and dismissed the idea. As the weeks went on, I thought to myself, "Why not? I travel a lot. I don't have time to meet women normally, and I definitely don't like the bar scene with its' head games and lack of quality in both men and women. So, I placed an ad..."
- TONGUE IN CHEEK: The Dirty Lowdown on International Dating - by Dawk Ziti: "One day, Lisa and I were driving around, and she said, "I would very much like to get married."
