Lots of Kyiv girls assumed that the single possibility to be happy in family life was to tie a knot with an outlander during the time of “Iron Curtain”. Nonetheless, when it was destroyed tendency remained the same. This happened because the level of life didn’t improve after the collapse of the USSR as many expected. Therefore continued marriage migration line was provoked by financial instability in the state.

America was the main state to travel to. As the United States Department of Justice says, – over 75 thousand of such popular Russian cities as Donetsk Moscow Minsk women emigrated in US, using the invitation visas provided by their American husbands. Another part of the ladies used various types of visas, although eventually with the same purpose. This occurred as in spite of the fact that immigration law of the US assumed to be strict, is, nevertheless rather mild for persons arriving for constant residence, in contrast with the majority of European countries.

It is assumed, that the demand for Russian brides from the part of western, so to say, clients, has been, in a sense, shaped by the beauty contests. They have created a taste of the American men on the “Russian type”, which changed the fashion on the “color” appearance. Formerly, the Filipino girls, and other Asian women were particularly trendy. Alongside with the appearance, Russian women were different through the family oriented nature. It is obvious, that beauty contests have affected Russian ladies, wanting to tie a knot with a foreigner and created for them a perception of their attractiveness as a profitable selling product.

At present, when living in Russia turned out to be slightly better than 12 years ago, the motivation of women, travelling oversea in search of fiance, has altered. According to the view of the executive director of the program of the social and psychological help of Russian emigrant’s families, Olga Mahovskaya, the principle motive for the tendency of our compatriots to marry to in another country – is a collapse of the domestic type of family. Nevertheless, despite of the reason, the set of difficulties, pursuing Russian women abroad, remained even. The difference that was 12 years ago, as well as nowadays – is just in their intellectual level.

The major obstacle for those, who want to wed a foreigner, is connected with wedding agencies. Director executive of the program of social and psychological support of Russian emigrant’s families, Olga Mahovskaya, mentioned by the edition “Izvestiya”, claims: now more than 600 Internet- agencies from the American side and around 200-from our side are specializing on the “Russian assortment”. The typical age of Russian ladies -is 19, 5 years, in other words, brides without studies and profession travel in hunt of the better future in far away states. It is rather reasonable that the difficulty of wedding emigration is closely connected with the issue of women trafficking – it is possible to picture that young and insufficiently cultured girls are not able to protect their civil rights, finding themselves, oversea in the complex circumstances. Of course, more often they escape, travelling oversea, to earn funds as animators or babysitters. However as Ms. Mahovskaya fairly underlines, “the marriage agent differs from the souteneur only for the reason that he is helping a girl not to be a hooker but a kept woman – and for many ladies it is a maximum of dreaming”. But evidently it is easier to seduce those who wish something like this.

Next essential problem that ladies may run into by travelling to another country is certainly – relationship with their appointed husbands. According to the data big part of the males, wishing to marry Russian ladies are about forty years and still incapable to buy a dwelling or to succeed in life. They predominantly consider that the women from such financially poor country will not have big requirements and that is why will be ideal for the marriage. Alarming is the fact that more and more criminal cases, which happen in America, and in other countries are connected with the attacks on the foreign brides. Some of them are beaten or even murdered. Such cases about failed wedlock become frequently printed in the newspapers abroad by such countries, like America, as well as in Russian newspapers.

Recently, Washington, D. C passed a law, according to which wedding agencies are forced to inform possible foreign women of the existing convictions or unsuccessful marriages with outland wives of the probable husband, whom the woman is about to wed. This is made, as the mean of avoidance of the criminal cases, occurred with such horrifying frequency.
