It is difficult to say what credentials are essential in my field of work as CEO of a Ukraine based Dating and Matchmaking agency. Really it is simply a matter of utilising the positive and the best aspects of being human, attributes that we each have been born with and using them in helping people come together.

Many of you will be aware of the Worldwide phenomenon of Russian women....yes? Chances are your opinions will be negative, right? Hardly surprising with headlines like BUY A RUSSIAN BRIDE, or MAIL ORDER RUSSIAN BRIDE. I do not know where these expressions came from, I suspect the Tabloid, or sensation seeking press.

I work with these ladies and I represent these ladies and have much respect and admiration for them. Most certainly they are not for sale.

Let me try to briefly explain:- Until 16 years ago the countries of the FSU were isolated more or less completely from the rest of thhe World (imagen an advanced and cultured Brazilian rainforest tribe and you get the picture). Now contrary to much Western belief, communism was not a dark and evil empire (President Bush, really you have been dangerously mistaken). No these countries enjoy one of the best systems of education in the World. Culture is very important and more important available for all and enjoyed by all. Can you imagen its possible to enjoy top class ballet, or opera for maybe $1.

Due to a variety of reasons the young people of these countries take their education very, very seriously and work very hard at it, normally whilst holding down a job to finance their education and are probably taking additional classes in foriegn languages, or any manner of self betterment.

Hopefully you begin to see the reality of the situation and the nonsense of the Buy a Russian Bride headlines.

The ladies I work with and represent are hard working, usually highly intelligent and or qualified, they are highly cultured with strong family, or mral values and they are very positive in their detirmination to create a better life for themselves. Now to add to this impressive list of qualities, they are very often very beautiful.

This is the reality of the phenomenon of Russian Women.
