If you come to Russia in the Summertime..
You will find that there are any number of local sponsored beauty contests going on.
One of the nicest things about them from my perspective is that there is absolutely no self-doubt or political correctness used to criticize or shun these events like they sometimes do in the West.
Instead it really is a great feeling when you can just.. well.. celebrate truly beautiful women for who they are and be inspired by it just the way mother nature intended it from the start.
These open-air beauty contest are always fun and popular events to go to. Indeed it is certainly a large part of the cultural fabric in Russia and the FSU.
So if you can’t make it to Russia this Summer to see one of these great events for yourself.
Hopefully these photos will bring a little of that experience to you.
Enjoy!
Russian Women - The Real Truth 
July 17, 2007 at 5:14 pm
I’ve only recently stumbled across your website here, and I had to take a look at all the images you uploaded here in one sitting! :] They’re so completely bewitching!
Russian girls have such a special glow to them.

Hi violetechoes..
Welcome aboard and I’m certainly happy you feel that way about the girls I’ve photographed. The great thing is that many of them DO have that “special glow” that you have observed. And from my perspective it’s certainly great to be around.
Thanks again for joining us and please tell your friends. 🙂

You know violetechoes.. I realized something important from the comment you just made that I wanted to expound upon.
That “glow” you are talking about comes from the fact that these girls are perfectly comfortable in their own skin being real and genuine feminine women. That “glow” is the power that emanates from that identity and I’ve written pretty extensively about it before. Here is a link you should check out to understand more of what I’ve realized by being with these women.
Hope you enjoy it..

The third photo killed me…

Second foto for me!!! 🙂

Nice photos of pretty Russian ladies, who are most definitely comfortable in their own skins. It’s good to see Russian women take pride in their femininity…..:-)

Hi Akhand, Wolverine, and Tara..
Like I said in the post.. you had to be there guys to really get the full impact and fun from this event. Hopefully there will be another beauty contest soon that I can take my camera too as well. 🙂

Nice!
Keep up the good work my man!
July 21, 2007 at 6:57 pm
Wow…just goes to show you…a girl can be sexy and not have to be SLUTTY
July 21, 2007 at 10:41 pm
“Second foto for me!!!”, Wolverine…
That’s because you’re an animal.
July 21, 2007 at 10:47 pm
Lol, Canuck, al least being an animal is a step up from akhand who’s aparently dead from seeing the third photo. 😛
July 21, 2007 at 11:18 pm
I think you will both be very lucky. A mixed marriage. Wolverine and a Fox. lol
Aw… but will you still feel the same years from now when your paws are tired from cleaning and polishing her stiletto’s?
Remember according to Natalia we actually must place our hands where their feet have been….
And so now that Akhand’s girl is widowed, what will she do with the issue of guilt?
I tried to tell GL to stop. But he refused to heed my warnings. And now so what do we have? Death by pulchritude.
Does our Western plight ever stop?
July 21, 2007 at 11:45 pm
I have no idea, poor girl. She must be overwhelmed.
As for putting my hands where her feet have been, shouldn’t be much trouble as I walk on all fours anyways. lol
Didn’t you know, you only polish stiletto’s once a month??
As for our plight, no stopping it. It’s a horrible life we’re doomed to. 😛
July 27, 2007 at 10:51 am
LOL Akhand “The third photo killed me…”
The third one has the most amazing light grey eyes – try seeing that in your local neighbourhood.
Agree with the “glow” comments. Not just pretty girls, you can see the vibe they project with their true femininity.
July 29, 2007 at 6:30 pm
Like can at times, be unfair,
that I should be here and she there.
Russian version of Chinese water torture,
only instead of drops of water,
one gets images of beautiful Russian girls,
coming at us slowly, slowly driving us mad, insane. Stop, STOP! STOP!!, let me in….let me in…I want in.
Who can resist. Man, sucks where I’m at.
August 10, 2007 at 5:21 am
How wonderfully refreshing to see that feminine isn’t equated with showing cleavage or having a tramp stamp 😛
I have a question for the gentlemen (and ladies?) with recent experience in Russia.
What is the attitude towards feminism in the great East? There are theories that it is very closely related to Communism. Is that how it is viewed?
Also, how do expat women fair over there?
August 10, 2007 at 2:01 pm
If you will allow commentary from indirect sources. The sources being born and bred Russian girls and a Russian married to an American man in America…
“What is the attitude towards feminism in the great East?”, Anon girl…
In the gaining of their current rights; they have not lost their sweet femininity. In other words, to gain a right, they left hatred out of the equation.
I am sure that I will continue to hear the massive denial of Feminazi’s who claim to not have any misandrony in their zeal to tear men down under the guise of building up the life standards of women.
However, if it were not true; then I promise you I would not feel compelled to leave the continent so as to ensure both my own happiness, or, and especially, the healthy happiness of my future child/ren from within a culture of social normalcy and opposite gender love.
My fiance is a civil lawyer, professionally aware of her rights. I showed her a picture of a typical Toronto International Womens’ Day Hate Parade. She was perplexed and confused and asked “What is their problem? What? They have no man? They should concern themselves with their personal life happiness and that of their man and not this silly parade.”
And if I was a Feminazi, I would not challenge my fiance on issues of femininity. She is the gold standard.
“Also, how do expat women fair over there?”, Anon girl…
If she is typically Western she will probably die of loneliness.
However, if she absorbs Russian attitudes and ethos like a duck to water; then she competes with the other beauties and would just as likely be prized in the same way… by the good men there.
The women widely complain that the locals do not truly appreciate them. But many love their man and do their best to mold him into something useful to their happiness. The Russian maxim of the Russian girl as the neck who turn her man’s head…
To which I can attest its veracity. Yes, she is making me into something useful to her happiness. Why should I mind? It makes me feel good to see the degree to which others notice all her “head turning” modifications/improvements to my character. lol
In other words, Russian women are renowned for knowing how to make their men, “better” men. And after all, is that so terrible a fate?
There are some tribal considerations for those who are immersed in defence issue conflicts.
However, a truly feminine, beautiful, devoted girl is a univerally appealing concept to any Real man.
So visit already and leave the West to the misandronists. lol
Very interesting questions. Especially from a female perspective.
All the best.
August 12, 2007 at 11:51 pm
The girl in the second photo is pretty to look at. What is so cool about these RW is that the attractive girls can make their own clothes, which means they can sew, stich, create things of their own, that is what makes me so excited for them. The fact that they can do something other than just be pretty. They can do something productive, yet be attractive as well is a huge turn-on to me.

Do you happen to know any of these women who participated in the Beauty Pageant personally? Albeit accustomed to a much higher standard of living, Russia is economically imperiled now more than ever. All three women shown above are absolutely breathtaking.
February 1, 2008 at 6:24 am
Hi Huxley,
Thanks for joining us. Yes I’m pretty good friends with the nice young lady in the last photo. And I can honestly tell you that her inner beauty matches what you see in this photo. Thanks for appreciating the photos I’ve taken.
Cheers, GL

wow – i thought slavic romanian women were pretty – stunning seems totally inadequate
Anybody want to marry a rich retired Submarine (cold war days) driver and Warrant Officer 1st Class??
September 15, 2008 at 3:07 am
I came across Mascha’s video of all places, Facebook. This woman is a Goddess and should be treated as such. I wish I will marry such a fine woman. I have a neighbor who sounds a lot like her, I understand her just fine, I like the accent. I hope to hear more from Mascha soon, i will keep checking on here to see.
Paul.

Hi Paul1368,
Facebook eh? Would love to see the link on that if you could post it.
Masha is certainly deserving of your warm accolades and I will make sure I tell her when I next meet up with her. GL
September 16, 2008 at 12:16 am
I had joined the Russia network, and it was on the main page, under “What is popular” but the Network pages have been removed from Facebook. If it was clicked, it went straight to the YouTube video. I tried to find it in my computer history, but will not open anymore.

I was born in Ukraine, but moved to America when I was pretty young. I look at pictures of Russian girls, and while I’m not ugly, I’m glad I live in America, where I don’t feel unattractive in comparison. I must say had I been raised in Russia, I think I wouldn’t be as content with how I look. There are so many truly beautiful women in Russia!
September 29, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Hi Kat,
Your comment made me smile.. It’s all relative isn’t it? 🙂
October 2, 2008 at 8:44 am
Kat
I totally agree! I feel very lucky to live where I do, for the same reason. I would never move to Russia 🙂
Dawn
October 2, 2008 at 4:28 pm
And I on contrary don’t feel intimidated a bit by the looks of the girls… fake tan and bleached hair are so last year.
October 2, 2008 at 5:59 pm
I feel somewhat the same way… No doubt, they are pretty girls – but nothing really out of the ordinary. So it seems to me at least…
October 2, 2008 at 10:42 pm
Yes, it may be true that many of these women are not THEE most beautiful women to ever live but please remember that at issue here is whether or not their beauty goes beyond what you see passing them on the street. There is something much more attractive about a pretty young woman who is NOT a blood sucking social vampire out to destroy any man she meets, as in the case of . . . . . oh . . . . . . MOST NA women.
October 3, 2008 at 7:07 am
I know, and I am aware that that is the opinion of the majority of people here. However, this was in response to Kat and Dawn whose comments seemed to be focused on the looks aspects.
Personally, I’m not too worried about not measuring up on the “not being a bloodsucking vampire” scale – my boyfriend lived in Eastern Europe for a few years before moving back from Minsk to be with me. But to me, being a loving, considerate partner isn’t about feminism, it’s about being raised well.
October 3, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Hazel,
I’m in complete agreement with you. There are stunningly beautiful women all over the world and some of the girls here are very pretty to be sure. But the best of the best in any region won’t usually be the average gal on the street even though beauty is everywhere. In Seattle, Vancouver, Chicago or Miami the women you’d pass by just walking to lunch could bring out the desire in any healthy guy. What’s more, a town of 5,000 in Iowa, Kentucky or Wisconsin might surprise most men when it comes to lovely ladies. Sadly though it really is getting to be all about how empty that beauty is with respect to NA women. It is very definitely a result of feminism and the overt disdain for men that makes gorgeous women into dangerous adversaries rather than highly sought after life partners. I truly wish that it wasn’t so but everyone can see what has happened to the women here and it isn’t just the single, 20 something guys who are becoming fed up with it. More and more, former feminists are saying, “Hey, wait a minute, I don’t want to be like that”. The feminist agenda creates monsters where there were once charming and desirable women.
October 3, 2008 at 8:08 pm
That’s precisely the problem Hazel, all too many people here in the West haven’t been raised at all, at least when it comes to being raised as decent people, not roughnecks.

You know how many women are considered ugly if they have a good personality in the US? Some men do egg it on here and prefer tough and edgy women. I personally watched it everyday growing up at school, home, and my neighborhood. So… Many men seem to prefer women who are fickle and tough. Actually many American men consider ugly women to be nicer. It is a very weird country compared to here. Men have personally told me they prefer bald women and tattooed women over and beautiful woman. Hahaha
February 6, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Liviana,
I agree that I have heard men say they prefer ‘ladettes’ who drink/smoke/spit/swear/are tattooed/sleep around. It’s a crazy world and girls can get confused because at the end of the day of course we want to attract men.
But I want a nice guy and kiddies and a little house in the country, like how I grew up, so I not going to knock back 4 pints of lager and get a type of man I won’t mix with. I guess it’s all about who you want to attract. Maybe in America there’s a lot of these ‘ladettes’ and the nice guys would like an alternative.
For instance I have heard men on here complain about ‘career women’ who don’t want to settle down until they are 35. I am only 23 and I want to find the right guy and settle down before I’m 25 which doesn’t seem likely. I have a career I enjoy to bits but it is not what I want my life to revolve around (family and plain happiness is more important to me). Sometimes I get desperate that guys just want independent, career-driven city slickers who live in expensive flats with just a cat for company. I have been told that by men who advise me to become like that, or to ‘let my hair down’ and get drunk as a skunk. So I come here to prove to myself that not everyone likes the same thing.
February 7, 2009 at 12:58 am
Thank you Bella. I am not here for a blame game. I think eventually I want to settle down as well. I know plenty of men who have honestly said they prefer hard-working women or even women who are not exactly gorgeous. Men and women here lack conformity to rules about beauty, marriage and love. I had to go to college for one of my ex-boyfriends(not that I had to, his father wanted to make sure she would take care of herself, he preferred educated and working women), however I wanted to anyway just to up my education and enjoy it for myself. Not everybody here will have the same view. Thanks for that tid-bit. You will find women cannot dress sexy like they do in Russia without being named a whore. You will find Christian morals are different here than in Russia. It is much different and not as bad as it has been painted. But I am not insulting Russia either. When women are that skinny here they aren’t so favored as they are in Russia, I don’t know why however. I see curvy as meaning fertile here and larger breasts and backsides can be a good thing.
February 7, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Hi Bella,
Don’t be discouraged by the advice of cynical men who just want to use and dump you, for fun or to “get even” with what a lot of Western women have become.
As you have seen here, many men would love and cherish a woman who would want her life to revolve around family and plain happiness, even if she had a career she enjoyed to bits. They definitely do not want “independent, career-driven city slickers who live in expensive flats with just a cat for company”.
But bitter experience has taught them that a local girl who is “trying to reject consumerism and live as simply as possible”, or who, “instead of joining the Christmas crowds, would rather sit by the river and watch the light on the water and shadows of the trees lengthening and talk and talk and talk, and walk home through a meadow under a clear sky with stars” is almost impossibly rare. (You are truly enchanting and inspirational!)
An aware man who is looking for a nice girl and kiddies will not reveal himself to anyone he even suspects of being a feminist or a “ladette”, and he is no longer looking in common places. So you need to help him realize that you are the treasure who belongs with him in that little house in the country; otherwise he may never see you, because he probably no longer expects someone like you to be close by.
But remember that a nice girl can also be an irresistible challenge to “players”. So keep your eyes open, move slowly and carefully, and never, ever, make excuses for a man, to yourself, about anything that is essential or fundamental.
Best wishes,
John
February 9, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Thank you for the encouragement, John, that was a lovely message xxx
February 9, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Bella, if I may give you one piece of advice:
Do not sell your values for a cheap thrill. You will regret it for many years.
Keep going the way you’re going. You’ll find your other half.
February 10, 2009 at 12:58 am
John is right, a man who would be good to you won’t be calling attention to himself. Good luck in your quest, I hope you do find someone with whom you can form a family.

Good gravy…they are all soo unbelievably gorgeous and devine. I luv this site, which I found minutes ago…
