Now this will be a very interesting discussion!
I can only talk for myself, I'm sure everyone has his own reasons.
I think the essence of what makes Russian woman so attractive started in the 1980's. After the death of Leonid Brezhnev in 1982 the then USSR went into a period of economic down turn and political uncertainty with Chernenko and Andropov that succeeded and died soon after coming to power, by the time Michael Gorbachev came to power, the damage has been done and he had to relax laws, which he did through his glasnost and perestroika policies. This in turn lead to the break up of the Warsaw pact and eventually the break up of the USSR, This was times of extreme hardship, economic difficulty and uncertainty. Under these circumstances any other nation would have faltered and sunk into anarchy. But you did not. Like the times of World War 2 the Russian nation persevered and pulled through in the face of apparent insurmountable adversity. At the core of all of this chaos stands the steadfast temperament of the Russian women.
So to make a long story short, Russian women know hardship and it made them strong. I can not even begin to imagine what it took to keep a home and a family together in those days. Most woman on this site grew up during those days and I have immense respect for them. I think they are the best mothers and wives. One of my friends got married to a girl from Siberia, she is highly educated, well spoken, a professional in her own right, the best mother to 3 children and a wife like no other. I have been married to a local woman for 10 years and have been divorced for 7. I am sorry to say but local woman just doesn't have those qualities. Also all my friends are married, I don't come into contact with single woman, the few opportunities that I do, I measure them against my friends' Russian wife and they don't even come close.
