Ukrainian Mail Order Brides
Ukrainian Mail Order Brides
Russian Dating Questions:
What’s the current political/economic state of Ukraine?
I was doing some research and I found that Russia had about 3x the population of Ukraine.
The thing is, theirs about 5x as many Ukrainian women as Russian women listing themselves as mail order brides.
I know that Ukraine is in worse state than Russia, I’m just not sure how much worse.
The sheer volume of mail order brides comming from a country that isn’t considered large by any means leads me to beleive that people are trying to get out of there in a hurry.
PS: If you’re about to post somthing negative pertaining to MOBs, please do your research first.
Basicly Russian culture if a women is not married by the age of 25 she has failed at life. In Russian culture a man is considered successful if he juggles multiple women at a time and never gets married. On top of the fact that their are 10 million more women than men in Russia.
Also, some MOBs want to leave their third world country.
I said “DO YOUR RESEARCH”
Use google
Since you are doing research, I will try not to interject my opinion about why these women are looking for foreign men too much. However, I will start with the fact that using the term “Mail Order Bride” bugs me, since it is a bit derogatory sounding as there is no such thing in most of the “Western” world, anyway.
The economic and political situation of Ukraine is “interesting”. Many will tell you the economy is healthy and growing, and that democracy is working well there. Others will say it is 3rd world, and more of a dictatorship. I will avoid that debate. 
Realistically…
The cost of living is rising rapidly, and food prices have risen to a level where they are nearly on par with the US and Western Europe (the west). The government claims the cost of food has risen 20%, which they say is in line with the west. From what I have seen, the prices have more than tripled on most food items.
Housing is rising daily. Apartments that sold for a few thousand US dollars just 5 years ago are selling for $70-100k and more. Utilities have more than doubled in the last 2 years.
Salaries however, have remained largely static. Government workers in the last 2 years have seen an increase from about $125 per month, to about $150 per month.
Unemployment is exceptionally high. Partly because of the economy, and partly because of some “attitude” issues in part of the population (ie: my landlady’s husband quit work when he married her, because she had a job – so why should he work when he can stay home and drink and spends time with his buddies).
Politically, the government is a mess. Elections are done whenever part of the government decides that another part is not working. Whole courts are fired, politicians sell off government factories to “private parties” that are really just relatives of politicians, and they eliminate “ministry” license plates for their cars in the name of avoiding preferential treatment by police, but replace that symbol with a black Mercedes for each cabinet member, etc. So, corruption works in full force.
What I am saying is… the rich are getting filthy rich, while the common population suffers (some will say it is a part of the “democratic process” – even the US had such situations in it’s early years).
We can also add that in the 30+ age range in Ukraine, there are many more women than men (moreso than Russia). The depletion of men from the WW’s has been slower to recover in Ukraine than Russia. In my opinion partly because Russia rewards their people for repopulating better, and provides more “encouragement” for people to not leave the country.
Ukrainians are notorious for going to other countries on a visa and overstaying (or with no visa, or never return). They do this to send money back home for living. I think that says a lot about how the people feel about their economy (working/growing or not).
There is also the health risks. They still use lead base paint, lead pipes, there is the question of radiation from Chernobyl, AIDS, turberculosis, etc. A TV show just yesterday (on TV in Kyiv) talked about Ukrainians being “the least healthy people of Eastern Europe”).
Another issue is that western men treat women much better. Ukrainian men still have a 1950′s viewpoint of “men’s roles” and “women’s roles”. The women there crave attention and tenderness.
And despite what we westerners know about democratic and economic growth, people there feel the pinch and want better lives. My own wife (Ukrainian) loves her country, but sees many more opportunities for her and our daughter in the US, than in Ukraine.
In summary:
- inflation is high
- wages are low
- unemployment is high
- ratio of men to women is low
- view that western men are “better” men
- Ukrainians do not see the opportunities yet
- the government is young and unstable
