Inside Out
Minsk, 2019
I am just a simple Russian girl,
I’ve got vodka in my blood,
So I dance with brown bears,
And my soul is torn apart…
♫ Nouvelle Vague
Dedicated to all Russian women, whose body or pride
ever suffered from nationalistic prejudices.
FOREWORD
What comes to our minds when we hear or come across the word combo “Russian girl?” Beauty, grace, seduction, youth? This book would take a look at this from another angle, and provide an answer to the secret of the phenomenal impact of the beauty of Slavic girls. Beauty does not only connote blessings and happiness but can sometimes cause serious psychical and physical troubles, as well as misunderstanding.
This is a guide to what is happening in the mind of an average Russian girl. This book would not only be about girls from Russia but also from Belarus, Ukraine and several countries from the post-Soviet territory. It’s in place to say that they have a similar mental, genetic and language code which determinates their behavior.
I decided to divide this book into 3 parts – Russian girls’ mind, body and spirit. I should also mention that all I’m talking about the average girl or woman using official statistics. I don’t mean to hurt anyone by this personal social research.
I will also give tips on how Russian young ladies can look so good without much efforts, along with some pieces of advice for men who’d like to live happily with Russian women. So, for someone out there, after reading this book, you would probably fall in love with a Russian woman.
Chapter 1
Mind
The whole world has heard about the power of the Russian women – that’s why they are denied visas. Women of all nationalities hate them, because beauty is unjust, and against injustice, it is necessary to fight. Russian girls are enemies. Angels are not the first, they have always been full of enemies, reread the Bible, this is a real catalog of tortured angels.
~ Frederic Begbeder, “Ideal”
Background
As you probably may have heard, there was “no sex” in the USSR. So showing gentleness openly was very rare and confusing. People were not showing love to each other and rarely used the words of love for almost a century. The interest of society and country were in first place. That was a part of socialism propaganda.
During the 2nd World war, about 30 million people died in the USSR. Most of them were soldiers – young and strong men.
Afterward, vodka became very cheap, legalized and was cultivated as a part of the national Russian culture. But not many people know that in medieval and pre-medieval Russia, the people were never alcoholics, and vodka was first brought in at the end of the 14th century. Soviet vodka culture was aimed to shut the eyes of people to their poor living conditions. It was really bad that people would stand in the streets for several hours just to buy food and other basic needs. It was forbidden to listen to foreign music, not to talk of wearing beautiful dresses, shoes and cosmetics. It was impossible to get these clothes so people had to sew the
dresses by themselves. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the whole world found it funny that a Soviet girl could sleep with a foreign man for just a pair of jeans.
An “iron border’ hid Russian girls from the rest of the world for almost a century and it was regarded as a crime to have connections with people from other countries; it was totally disallowed. The details about that period was depicted in the movie Intergirl (Interdevochka, 1989).
In 1991, after the Union was dissolved, people lived in hunger. To feed their families, women had to go do dirty jobs abroad, which was actually a shame because the Soviet system, despite being authoritarian, gave free higher education to everyone. Some women would buy products Russians had never seen abroad and bring back to Russia to sell. By the way, entrepreneurship was forbidden in the USSR, as it was viewed as a feature of the western countries’ capitalism.
Natasha became a very popular nickname for all Russian girls and stood that way for a very long time. These days, the name is not as common as Anastasia, which makes me a bit sad. Other popular names these days include Ekaterina, Aleksandra, and Anna.
A lot of Russian girls never experienced a happy family home. It was normal in many families for children to see their drunk fathers beating their mothers and using abusive words. A lot of girls experienced sexual harassment, with no one to look out for them. Girls were, literally, growing up without dads and male role models. The educational system was based on female teachers. Unhappy females were bringing up girls and boys from kindergarten. Women were proud to work even more than men. So we can very well say that, in the country, feminism was almost absolute and so could be regarded as a matriarchy. This style of education still exists and will not change until the economic conditions and salaries are raised. An average salary of a doctor or teacher in 2019 is about 500$.
Consequently, when a Russian girl or lady meets a foreign gentleman that is successful and has good manners, their heart melts and they start to feel like a princess and not a working horse. This is why many of them wanted to marry a foreign prince. The negative side is that some of these men could overuse their power over these girls. Russian women notably have forgiving hearts and can withstand what a foreign lady could never stand.
Beauty competition
In the aftermath of the war, the thought of the shortage of men set a lot of girls in competition with each other. Some girls would even never go out to throw away the garbage without makeup! Nowadays, even though there has been a fresh supply of men as several have been born since the end of the war, there is still a high demand from girls. A girl who desires to enjoy herself should aspire to have a good career, be slim and stylish, cook well and, of course, be fantastic in bed. The funny thing is most contemporary young Russian women who have achieved all those don’t seem to need a man anymore, they have become so independent and now consider themselves equals with men, even as most men are not that ambitious, wealthy, handsome and educated. So since interesting and successful men are not much, the demand for them is still very high.
Herein do we find the first secret of the Russian girls’ beauty – be better than every other girl, be perfect or die trying.
Interesting to note is that most women after 35 – 40 lose their attractive figures and become just mothers or workers and don’t care anymore how they look. Being a good mother in Russia involves a lot of hard work – career, looking after the house, raising children, etc. In short, she has to be a superwoman 24/7. This leaves her prone to diseases such as diabetes because most illnesses come from our minds and unhealthy nutrition. Three square meals should be regular every day. And these
meals by Russian tradition should be with lots of fat, sugar and carbohydrates. It’s very hard, in this situation, for both men and women to look good, in addition to drinking alcohol a few times a week. This situation is gradually changing with the spread of educational programs in the mass media. Women are trying but are still under the pressure of not being good enough.
