It's right. Yo have not to go to him only for his money, But a man without money cannot easly naturalize a russian lady from Moscow. To know well a woman from Russia costs a lot: time and money.
But you have no other option if you really want to know a western man. You cannot know anythig about a tourist in Moscow or in a third place. So you actuated in the right way!
Approuved!
