Obviously, Russian girls are ladies from Russia. However, for most foreigners it's an umbrella term which refers to Slavic girls in general. Due to this, girls from neighboring countries Ukraine and Belarus are also called “Russian girls” by many Western men who do not distinguish between these nations. Russian girls are rightly considered to be some of the most beautiful women in the world. It is their great looks that make them desirable brides all over the globe and lure so many Western men. Their appearance is quite different from the typical appearance of Western women. Slavic beauty is a mix of different blood types and different races. The variety of sorts of appearance is due to the history of the peoples that have lived on the territories of what is now Russia and Ukraine. How does one recognize a Russian girl? Slavic girls have very feminine facial features: a balanced facial shape and fair hair, skin and eyes. However, most Ukrainian girls have dark hair and brown eyes (which can be explained historically). Another feature typical of Slavic women is their well- endowed, but the same time fragile, figures. They are proud of their stunning looks, which is why they take a good care of their appearance. They dress up so as to accentuate their delicate waists. Although they are beautiful by nature, they wear makeup on a daily basis to look even better. Why Russian Women Want to Find a Husband Abroad. A logical question may appear in your head: Why, even though they are the most beautiful women in the world, do so many Russian girls decide to register on online dating sites and start looking for a spouse overseas? Actually, there are several reasons for it. Here are the main ones. Demography: Both in Russia and Ukraine, the female population outnumbers the male population. Due to the lack of available men, many Russian girls have to look for a partner somewhere outside their country. The absence of suitable partners: Russian men tend to be passive and lazy. Highly educated and ambitious Russian women want a strong and confident man by their side; thus they decide to look for a spouse from Europe or America, where men are more decisive and successful. The prospect of a secure future: Russian women understand that the standard of living in Russia leaves much to be desired. At the same time, they want their children to be happy and would be glad to provide them with a secure future in a country with a high standard of living. If they meet and fall in love with a decent Russian guy they will marry him. The problem is with those women who can't find their destiny in their homeland. They want to create their own family and are ready to marry a man who lives miles away from them. Love knows no geographical boundaries after all: if two people are meant to be together, they will find each other despite all obstacles. Apart from their appearance, they also have some personal characteristics that distinguish them from other women. The main reason for this is that they live in a different cultural environment that determines their outlook. Of course, they possess some traits typical of all women (natural beauty, the love of shopping, kindness and so forth), but at the same time there are some remarkable characteristics that make them stand out in a crowd. In comparison with Western women who know their own worth very well, Russian women are more insecure and have low self- esteem, especially when they are in love. They love with little regard for themselves and almost worship their men. As a rule, a Russian woman will forgive her husband many things and will turn a blind eye to his insults and even physical abuse in some cases. Strangely enough, many Russian women don't want to dump such unworthy men, since they are afraid they won't find somebody else. There is no feminism in Russia or Ukraine. Yes, contemporary Slavic women want to have equal rights but they don't go out of their way to prove that they are just like men, in the way Western girls often do. They don't want to refuse smart clothes and cosmetics; they believe that a woman should look womanly. Russian girls still have traditional views on how a man should behave: in terms of dating culture, they want their men to be real gentlemen with them. Every Russian girl likes when a man holds the door and lets her go first, when he helps her remove her coat, when he stands up when sees her approaching him, and when he brings flowers on a date and pays for dinner. Russian girls are very family- oriented. Family comes as a top life priority for all Russians and Ukrainians. Unlike most Western girls, they are ready to get married in their twenties. Usually, they tie the knot after they graduate from university. Even with a degree, they are ready to give up their career and dedicate themselves to their families; many, however, combine their jobs with family life, with great success. What Russian Ladies Expect from Online Dating. You want to meet and date a Russian girl but you are not ready for a serious relationship? You believe that you should be friends first and then see how it will work but you are not quite sure about what the girl thinks? Well, most girls want to find a future husband and are very serious about it. That is why you should make it clear from the start that you don't want to rush things and you want to communicate as friends first and foremost. If a girl agrees with your views and keeps chatting with you, that means she is OK with it. Friendship is a good start and it often develops into a serious relationship. However, you take the risk of getting stuck in the friend zone. Also, keep in mind that while you keep exchanging messages as friends, she may meet a more decisive guy with more serious intentions. Can Russian Women Speak English? If a Russian lady registers on an international dating site, she understands that she will communicate with foreigners mostly in English. That is why the prevailing majority of those women have basic knowledge of English. English is a compulsory subject at schools. It is usually taught starting from grade 5 (nowadays even at primary school). After school, Russians study English at universities or colleges for two years at least. Usually, those Russian girls who live in big cities have a better command of English, although of course this is variable from girl to girl. One in five Russian ladies can speak English well and three in ten know it to a good standard. Those who once learned it but didn’t have much practice will be able to refresh their memory in a couple of months. Is There a Difference Between Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian Girls? The countries of the former Soviet Union - Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus - differ in some cultural aspects but generally there is no huge difference between them. However, there some slight divergences. Changing women's lives in Ireland. Issue 9. 1 of INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISM JOURNAL. Published Summer 2. Copyright . But things have changed fast. A national survey in 1. A survey in 1. 99. In 1. 99. 0 Dublin's Virgin Megastore was fined . In 1. 99. 9 the Dublin government spent . Rather change has been generated mainly by shifts in patterns of production. In short, it is changes in capitalism that have led to changes in women's lives, the family and attitudes to sex and sexuality. The way reproduction is organised depends on the way production is organised- -women's oppression can be ended only by overthrowing capitalism and bringing production under workers' control. The story of Ireland in the last 2. It also shows the intervention of socialists can be crucial in ensuring progress. The reason women's rights were so lacking can be traced to changes in the form of the family, and to the way reproduction was organised from the middle of the 1. In 1. 79. 3 the ratio of priests to Catholics was 1: 1,5. In 1. 84. 0 it was 1: 3,0. There were very few church buildings. The church had little influence on family life or on sexual mores generally. This section examines how changes in women's role in production following the Great Famine led to changes in how reproduction was organised within the family. The Midnight Court, a long poem written in Irish in 1. Ireland on trial for being useless in bed. The poem, banned in its English translations until the last decades of the 2. Here an older woman laments the plight of a younger sister, married to an old man with no interest in sex. Line by line she bade him linger. With gummy lips and groping finger,Gripping his thighs in wild embrace. Rubbing her brush from knee to waist. Stripping him bare to the cold night air,Everything done with love and care. But she'd nothing to show for all her labour; There wasn't a jump in the old deceiver. There was a folktale about St Brigid- -supposedly a contemporary of St Patrick- -who was renowned for her work with fertility in all its forms. Brigid met a young woman distressed because she was pregnant: 'Brigid prayed, then she blessed the woman, laid hands on her womb, and the foetus miraculously disappeared'. Until the Great Famine of 1. Ireland, among all but the large farmer class, was to divide the land between all the sons in a family as they married. This could be done at any time, so people were able to get married very young. Early marriage meant many children and, from the end of the 1. This rise was boosted by the very low rate of infant mortality which, as a result of widespread breastfeeding and the nutritional value of the potato, was below 1. Europe. 7 So, while the population was around 1. This escalation continued in the early 1. By 1. 82. 1 the population had reached 6,8. At this time marriage for the majority was based on love and on the skills which each partner brought to the family- -the man provided land and farming skills to grow the staple crop of potatoes, and the woman brought weaving and spinning skills which provided extra money to buy tea, sugar and whatever else was needed by the household. Her input to the agricultural work of the family was also important. Before the famine women made an essential contribution to the family economy. As late as 1. 84. Most of their economic independence was based on spinning wool, cotton and linen. But the growth of factory competition undermined this- -between 1. Only in the Belfast region, where linen became a factory industry, did this work survive the combination of the famine and the industrial revolution. The famine decimated the rural poor. Almost a million died of starvation, while several million were forced to emigrate. Their tiny plots were taken over by the larger tenant farmers holding 1. This large tenant farmer class was- -apart from the Anglo- Irish aristocracy- -the only class to survive the famine intact, and emerged as by far the strongest class in Catholic Ireland. In 1. 84. 1 only 1. Ireland were of more than 1. By 1. 85. 1 5. 1 percent of holdings were over 1. By 1. 89. 1 this had risen to 5. At the same time the total numbers of holdings had fallen from 6. These economic and social changes forced the workers and rural poor of Ireland to drastically alter their form of the family. For a generation before the famine the larger tenant farmer class had shunned subdivision of land and early marriage, as it struggled to achieve primitive accumulation of wealth. It was this which ensured its survival in the famine. In the aftermath it became clear that if a repeat of the 'Great Calamity' was to be avoided, the practices of the better- off would have to be adopted by the poorer classes. Thus the custom of dividing the land between all the sons in a family would have to be discontinued and the land passed on to one son only. Further the number of children born to families would have to be limited. The church was, in effect, the large tenant farmer class at prayer. Most priests came from this layer- -Catholics who could afford to educate their children. In the early 1. 9th century the cost of sending a son to Maynooth for the first year was . In 1. 80. 8, of the 2. Maynooth seminary, 7. The church provided the ideological basis for the sexual repression which ensured the pattern of late marriages and what came to be called 'permanent celibacy' which was to become the norm in Ireland right up to the second half of the 2. Changing the sexual mores of centuries would be no easy task under normal circumstances. But the aftermath of a catastrophe which saw the population almost halve, from 8 million in 1. Carrying on 'normal life' after the famine was impossible. This, together with the lack of a clear economic role for women, gave the church the opportunity to become intimately involved in Irish family life. The number of priests, drawn from the increasingly dominant strong farmer milieu, rose dramatically between 1. By 1. 91. 1 the ratio of priests to Catholics was 1: 2. In 1. 92. 6 2 percent of all single males aged 4. The church preached the centrality of marriage and the family, the evils of all sexual activity not aimed at procreation, and held up the Virgin Mary as the model for all women. It offered women a new role: that of transmitters of the Catholic teaching that all sexual activity outside marriage, or not aimed at conceiving children, is evil. In Ireland, to this day, it is generally the woman. Women in the post- famine period were offered the role said to be the most important in society- -bringing up children in the Catholic faith. To a large extent women had little choice in this. There was nothing else on offer and, in return for embracing the new morality, they received a level of respect, of status, even authority, which they could not otherwise have expected, given their changed economic role. This period also saw a tremendous explosion in devotion to the Madonna and in the practice of reciting the Rosary (a prayer to the Virgin). All over the country shrines of devotion to Mary sprang up. The Virgin Mother was the model for Irish women. The alternative was the convent or emigration. For many young women, faced with a choice of marriage or emigration, the convent seemed a place where it would be possible to have a job, respect and status. The number of nuns in Ireland increased eightfold between 1. Catholic population. This increase had started before the famine. At the beginning of the 1. Ireland. Immediately after the famine the number stood at 9. By 1. 90. 0 the number of convents had rocketed to 3. But becoming a nun was not an option open to all. Entry to the convent was expensive. Canon law stipulated that every entrant should bring a certain sum of money. In the mid- 1. 9th century the lowest acceptable sum was . The average dowry was almost . As a result, many nuns were from wealthy backgrounds. Most were the daughters of comfortable, large farmers or shop owners. By the end of the 1. In spite of the expense, one in 2. Irish women were entering the convent in the early 2. In 1. 92. 6 some 4. For those with a vocation and no dowry, the only way to join a religious community was as a 'lay sister'. These were known colloquially as 'skivvies' and were, in effect, servants to the dowried nuns. Their habits included an apron and looked like a maid's uniform. Like servants in the big houses, lay sisters ate either before or after and apart from the dowried nuns. While anyone who wants to be a nun is admitted to the convent today, the class distinction between lay sisters and 'proper' nuns whose families could afford the dowry remained until the 1. Right up to the late 1. Irish women chose emigration rather than live unemployed and dependent on their male relatives in this mean, narrow- minded, repressive society. About one third of emigrants to the United States from Europe as a whole between 1. From Ireland the proportion was well over half. Most women who emigrated from Europe went as part of a family unit. The majority of Irish women emigrants were single and travelled alone (see Table 1). Ireland was unique in having more women than men emigrate, and the differences were dramatic. While there were between three and six times more men than women emigrants from some other countries, from Ireland there were almost twice as many women as men. In 1. 96. 0, for example, of the women aged 1. Ireland. 2. 0 Despite this, emigration was seen as a male phenomenon, largely because most emigrants went to Britain and many of these were married men whose wives and children remained in Ireland, keeping consciousness of these emigrants high. Women who went to England were more likely to be single and to stay away. In 1. 92. 6 some 2. Late arranged marriages meant that women, if they married at all, married men considerably older than themselves. Before the famine about 2. By the early 2. 0th century the proportion had risen to about 5. In the 1. 93. 0s almost three quarters of 2. Ireland compared to a third in England and Wales. In the 1. 96. 0s half of all 2. England and Wales.
