This is an other sad story, consequently tied to the strange franco-russian relations. Many young girls, all over the World become the victimes of western propaganda because the capitalist way of life is, supposantly, so good. For many frenchmen, marrying a beautifull russian girl is like getting a trophy from the kenyan jungle. It may start well but soon the young wife understand the realities of living in the West, far from her family and friends in a very selfish society with practically no more culture of her own. When there is no child, usually the lady run away; but when children are involved; it is an other story, because administrations of both countries complicate the situation. I have known of many cases because I have a particular affection for Russia and specifically the city of Orenburg. I have been there, since 1997, eleven times as guess of a sports' school, an university and a lady-friend. We are older peoples and if we, in the futur, get married, I shall stay in Russia. When helping russian teachers of french language, I had meet more pretty girls than any man can wish. None of them asked to come to France and if they will have inquired I will have frankly explained what to expect of such a move. If Russia will open its borders and let europeans see the truth, those situations will not exist. Naturally the other countries must do the same. Why a venezuelian will soon be able to visit Russia without a visa and a frenchman, not being autorized to do the same. In the 21st century, this looks rather funny and stupid. Sincerely.
