Just like the States, it's impossible to categorize all Russian women because there are simply too many variables, social cast, age, location, ethnicity, etc. This is why I say, stay away from Russian women when traveling for your first time..
Anyway, I'll tell my story and cover the basics (IMO) for non-Russians to understand Russia and the women. My opinion is based on travel/work for years outside the major cities and the actual suburbs in smaller cities in the south. Comparable to US cities like Memphis, Natchez, or Shreveport.
When in Russia I rent-out a dacha from a family I know well. The father runs/owns local retail markets as his son (US immigration lottery winner) runs a limo service in San Diego. The father has two daughters, one married with kids (28) and another divorced without (35) as they both work in their father business. All speak English well as they've been to the States, but live exceptional lives as proud Russians.
I met the father on my first trip in early 2006 form LAX to Moscow. As I spoke of my plans to import/export products he straight out told me, I must be crazy/stupid as we got hammered exchanging stories on a 13 hour flight. When we landed he gave me his number and told me to check-in every three days during my 6 week venture.
As all my preliminary contacts failed I was invited to come to his city. This instantly opened doors for me and learned I was extremely lucky to meet/know this guy. I think he actually took pity on me as he knew from the start I could of easily got myself in real trouble. In short, he was right, looking back knowing what I know now, crazy and stupid were actually very kind words.
Anyway, I know many Russian women well, due to the daughter first being my translator as preliminary business prospect in my field usually needed to go through a woman first. I soon discover, the better the business, the more educated the people, the more likely they speak some English.
IMO, contrary to popular belief, Russians may look European, but their culture is more Asian/Middle Eastern. Although, distinctly Russian the culture leans heavily towards a family based core. In short, kids and family are the core of true Russian culture. All things are based around family, as it's everything, without it you're nothing.
Therein lies the problem. Although, women born around 1991 have a more free thinking liberal attitude, outside the major cities it's still the same. If a Russian woman is not married by the time she is 25 things go downhill fast. By the time she reaches 30 and doesn't have any kids, not married, divorced with kids, she's fucked.
This sets a precedence of competition amongst the younger women outside the major cities. It's almost like a major fishing competition as the man is a trophy prize. Most women usually grab the first catch not wanting to risk the alternative, later to find out they married a loser.
This is also why most Russian women (usually) up to 30 keep themselves in great shape or always dress their best because you'd never know when you might get a bite or an opportunity to climb the social cast latter. It's actually comical to watch as Desperate housewives and Sex in the City were/are incredibly popular shows is Russia as women try to mimic the attitudes and episodes.
Does this mean all Russian women are like that? No, of course not, but if they're talking to you, a foreigner, I'd be willing to bet the majority are exactly like that. I've seen this many times with Americans/Canadians that work in Russia. They marry a Russian women with zero core relationship fundamentals, then try to merge ideals/culture with some of the most stubborn women on the planet, just to end in pure failure. It sure ain't pretty to watch, entertaining, but a pissed off Russian woman can be soulless cunt. Again, trust me, just stay away from them.
Long reply, but was going to add it to my blog.
