The real phenomenon, which some sociologists described as female marriage migration, was noted in the mid-nineties of the twentieth century. This happened just at the very time when the notorious “Iron Curtain” collapsed, and the girls got a very real opportunity to fulfill their blue dreams.
The longed marriage with a foreigner has become a very real opportunity. The imagination of romantically inclined girls drew almost dairy rivers with kissel banks waiting for them - there ... And a marriage with a foreigner seemed like a happy meeting with a fairy-tale prince.
But still, reality often turned out to be completely different from the long-standing fairy tale expected by naive romantic girls. It turned out that the welfare of a foreigner husband was based on savings, and had nothing to do with possible luxurious gifts.
And how many cases have been opened about marriage swindlers and human trafficking! How many stories about different career failures ... The flood of euphoria, which was iridescent and at the same time muddy and foamy, subsided, divorces began, and the registration of a marriage with a foreigner ceased to seem good.
Since then, the girls themselves began to travel abroad, chat with “them”, and this is exactly how they are preparing to successfully marry a rich foreigner. The number of clients of international marriage agencies did not become less than ...
Currently, marriage to a foreigner has again become a prestigious affair. Every year, more and more girls again began to marry citizens of other states and leave their homes. And in fact, in marriages between citizens of different states, as a rule, the bridegroom is a foreigner, so again we can talk about “female migration”, that is, our girls are taken to distant lands ...
Among the girls and women for whom marriage with a foreigner is so desirable, there are two categories: very young inexperienced girls of twenty to twenty-five years old, who have just graduated from universities, and experienced women of 35 years old who have unsuccessful experience in marriage, and possibly with kids.

The fact is that often “they” have a person really evaluated not by the “six” that he occupies, but by the available abilities and capabilities, by the benefits that the employee can bring to the company. In our country, man alone does not cost anything, and the elite is simply not in demand.
Thus, marriage to a foreigner in Russia can be not only a step towards achieving prosperity, but also a very tangible impetus to development, which makes girls more resolute and purposeful in achieving their goals, which previously seemed like a pipe dream.
There is one more rather serious reason for the new surge of marriage migration. Foreign “princes” in white limousines no longer perceive Slavic wives as completely free housekeepers, and our girls no longer play the role of funny and exotic toys or original accessories for publication, although the beauty of Slavic girls known throughout the Western world continues to attract attention grooms from the decaying West. In addition, “their” in our girls is attracted by the initial orientation to creating a family, and not to a career, which is typical of Western girls.
But, as often happens, along with many obvious positive qualities, marriage to a foreigner has some disadvantages, which are a continuation of the existing advantages. All the expectations that a marriage with a foreigner in Russia brings are often broken when moving abroad. This is mainly due to differences - cultural and psychological between our countries. Often, these differences can become so significant that they can cause divorce and return to their homeland ...
Our girls may simply not fit into Western life, which causes them confusion and even a whole storm of negative emotions with all possible consequences.
