Good observation.

This article is not about mail order Russian brides. An interesting side note to this is that marriages between Russian men and American women are at a much higher risk of failure because of mirrored cultural weaknesses.

Generalizing about them, Russian men would probably be considered pigs here in America. They tend to be insensitive and autocratic towards their wives. I do know of one couple in this category though, that violates the generalization and is experiencing a good marriage.

"..Generalizing about them, Russian men would probably be considered pigs here in America."

Hordes of American women love rogue pigs too. Else Clinton would never have been elected, and RE-elected when the salient facts were in. Sick but true.

A friend of mine married a Latvian woman, and the relationship mirrors exactly what the article describes. He works hard, brings home the money. She has a part-time job a few hours a week, and takes care of the household. They get along very well.

As for the Russian men being pigs, I think that's pretty much the reason this girl married an American. According to my friend, she left Latvia because every relationship there usually involved liquor and physical violence.
