The Russian race is, by and large, a very pure race. There has been very little immigration to Russia and therefore they have remained a relatively pure breed, with little influence from the outside world

It would be true to say that, on average, the percentage of beautiful Russian women, especially women aged between 35 and 50, is much higher than in many other countries. Of these beautiful Russian women, a very high percentage are available and attract the attentions of many foreigners

As you are probably aware, Russia has a long history and has maintained many of it's old traditions and Russians are very proud of it

Russians will at times make severe criticisms about their country and the way it is run. Don't try to do the same because they will turn and defend it ferociously

Russia is quite a rugged country and what we class as good manners, are somewhat lacking with Russians. The people are generally very down to earth. Not a bad thing in some respects, usually when they say something, they don't leave room for misunderstandings

Education and employment

Russians always consider themselves as being a well educated nation. Russia has the highest education level in the world. Standard and college education is still free in Russia although university education has to be paid for since 2003. Unfortunately, skills don't necessarily match job availability. Having a university degree is very common, as is a Ph D. You will find, especially women, working as shop assistants degrees in engineering or an accountant working at a local production line. This applies to many small towns and cities in Russia

Although the employment situation in Russia is slowly improving with a small amount of private investment, in the past, it has forced many people to relocate to larger cities where employment is more readily available
