Leave it to Democrats to carry on the tradition: to seem rather than to be -- how to trick the public into thinking their party values are other than what you think they are.

Where is the Thank you to Ronald Regan????
I found this funny from the article.
"The role of the Tennis Lolita, of the Beauteous Champion, is but Russian womanhood's most public face"
Sounds allot like a late night Cinemax movie...
"With bared midriffs and piercings, they are outwardly very like one another. In fact, there is an immense gulf dividing this throng of beauties. "
The next part will be the sexist men stare at these poor impressionable young women and something has to be done about it.

I guess it's once again up to us American men to rescue these poor Russian women and make the world safe for democracy. I'm up for the challenge...anyone else? ;)

I just returned from my first trip to Moscow. Indeed, I saw more beautiful women there than anywhere I've been in the world. Previously I had believed that Stockholm was beauty central, but it doesn't hold a candle to Moscow. I learned not to turn my head to look at a beautiful woman passing because when doing so I'd probably miss a more beautiful woman just behind her.
Unfortunately, Moscow is also filled with surly men lingering on the sidewalks, numerous meanacing-looking policemen, and guys who look like mob torpedoes waiting by fancy cars in front of fancier restaurants.
There was also something ineffably sad about the plane ride home. There were at least 5 American couples, seemingly in their 50s, bringing home children adopted from Russia. I know that the children are being saved from a horrible fate of being raised in a Russian orphanage--or worse--but that's what made it sad. Russia has many extremely capable people, and outwardly is making tremendous progress, but the flow of abandoned children (6 children on one flight--imagine how many in a year) is symptomatic of a deep illness in the society, as are other demographic measures (e.g., the appalling lifespan of Russians, especially Russian men and the concomittant plunge in population).
Altogether, an intriguing and troubling place.

A woman in Russia lived through her family. And she had to have a husband. The key role for women in the U.S.S.R. was to be a "warrior's holiday." "A man knows the happiness of one who receives; a woman knows the happiness of one who gives"--this was the dream and the rule.
The majority of Russian women still live for their families, and will sacrifice a career for their family. They remind me of American women during the fifties. Mind you, in the big cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg they are being Americanized.
I started looking in Russia 6 years ago for a princess with a beautiful heart. After searching through over 35,000 profiles, and writing numerous letters I found my lady. She was a child psychologist in Volgograd. I brought her back, and married her. She was the Proverbs 31 lady I was seeking and more. To add icing to the cake she's very beautiful.
