Meeting beautiful Russian brides at free dating sites, men can’t help asking themselves: what’s wrong with Russian men? Why are Russian women avoiding them and looking for marriage abroad?

However, sometimes it’s not the matter of Russian men. Very often Russian single girls are escaping traditional Russian pace of living, that clashes with their modern realities. The so-called “Flat Issue” has been a major problem in Russia for more than 100 years. It’s about shortage of flats, or inability of a young family to afford buying it. As a result, young couples live together with their parents, even after they have children.

A lot of Russian and Soviet movies are devoted to the Flat Issue. Loads of couples split up just because two families couldn’t coexist in small apartment. A beautiful Russian lady had to do the household chores, work, study, bring up children and be nice to her in-laws. Not every woman could bear it.

On the one hand, living together with in-laws was a common thing in Russia for many centuries. Typical timber wood houses in villages were 2-stored, huge and sparse, so there was enough space for everybody. On the other hand, a lot of time has passed. Russian single women have become more independent and now they are not always ready to live with their in-laws. What is more, huge houses in villages have been changed by small apartments in towns.

So when Russian single brides go to free Russian dating agencies in search of a foreign prince, as a rule, they are looking for an independent man, who is ready to create a happy family, whose happiness won’t depend on his in-laws. There are a lot of wonderful people among Russian men, but the majority of them is influenced by the old traditions of Russian society and suffers from the Flat Issue. That’s why a Russian lady is looking for a marriage abroad
