Russian Mail Order Bride-“Return to Sender"
According to Marina Smiley from Truth About Russian Brides(www.truthaboutrussianbrides.com), at least ninety percent of the women from the Former Soviet Union, countries such as Belarus, Ukraine and Russia haven’t the foggiest notion what the meaning of “mail order bride” is.
(PRWEB) June 30, 2005 -- Did you know that at least ninety percent of the
women from the Former Soviet Union, countries such as Belarus, Ukraine and
Russia haven’t the foggiest notion what the meaning of “mail order bride”
is?
They have no comprehension of the term “mail order bride” because it
was never a part of their culture or history. A “mail order bride is more of a
recent phenomena, starting in the mid 1800's, steeped more in the cultures of
North America rather than in Russia.
With the advent of the Internet, the
world began to open up to all peoples with many dating and singles web-sites
spring up all over the net. Because there is a shortage of men in Russia,
Russian women have turned to finding love and happiness with men of other
countries , for them Internet dating looked like an exciting way to find love
and happiness.
Unfortunately for most of these women, they learn the
stigma of the term “ Mail Order Bride” after finally arriving in the Western
world. Most likely the biggest shock Russian woman is going to get is the
negative connotation, “Mail Order Bride” has and how this relates to her,
personally.
I know many Russian-western couples and each react
differently to the “mail order bride” labeling. There are those lucky couples
who have very supportive friends and relatives where the “mail order bride”
question has never arisen. Yet there are many couples who live with the “mail
order bride” label as a stigma.
If you are interested in a Russian
woman, you need to think how she is going to handle the situation when she
discovers that the name “ mail order bride”, was not only a part of early
American history but that ridiculous and insulting term is part of the 21
century and most shockingly, part of HER OWN life!
PS:
During
Halloween, some stores stocked a new type of costume–the mail-order bride
wedding dress, replete with postage stamps and postmarks. “RETURN TO SENDER"
