Dear Elena Petrova, Sveta and I wish to thank you for your wonderful website. Sveta sent me the first email in September 2012. Her email was spoken from the heart so I replied and from there we stayed in contact daily; first by email, then by Skype. Sveta invited me to Russia. I had been to Russia once before and liked it. The people are wonderful and the ladies are the BEST! I flew to Sveta's city in December 2012 for a 6 month stay. We built our relationship and learned how to communicate very well. I proposed to Sveta in May and now we are engaged to be married. We are now working on her K-1 visa so she can come to the U.S. Gentlemen, Russian women are very smart, educated, with good character and they know how to take care of their family. Russian women are also fashion conscious and they take good care of themselves. You will be hard pressed to find better women ANYWHERE in the world. Many good Russian women are looking for a good man to form a family. I wanted a good woman who shared my core values and found her on Elena's Models. Elena's Models website does an excellent job of keeping their website free of scammers. That takes the worry out of using this website. Russian students are taught English from an early age, so there are many women in Russia who speak English at some level. Sveta was not fluent, but she worked hard at learning English during my stay here and she has done well. I have also worked hard to learn some Russian... together we speak a sort of "Runglish." It works. Russian women are modern ladies, but they also have good personal and family values. For them, family comes first. It is best to fly to the woman's city and meet her in person, and meet her family too. Be honest, be yourself, and you will be surprised at how well Russian women will take care of you. Sveta and I wish to thank Elena's Models for their excellent website and their hard work to keep the website filled with honest ladies who truly seek a good man for marriage and family.
