I will tell you 2 of essential Russian films which you should certainly watch, to understand what films Russian people adore watching several times each year. These films like an addiction on every Russian family & already regarded as cults. If you talk about these films to a Russian woman, they will be surely interested in you much :)

The Irony of Fate

First of all, it is traditional to watch The Irony of Fate (Ironiya Sudbi in Russian) in New Year’s Eve every year. This fantastic romantic comedy made in 70s tells a love story which is a result of interesting consequences. Four friends in Moscow each year go to a bathing house to drink vodka & celebrate the incoming year. The main hero of the film who is planned to be married to a girl in a few days, accidentally sent to Saint Petersburg by plane instead of other man in the group. Note that all are drunk like elephants! The next point is very funny & historically important. In 70s, architectures of Soviet times built the same streets, same buildings even with the same apartment numbers, even the keys. He, while very drunk, goes to his such twin home in Saint Petersburg and opens the door with his own key! After that, hilarious things begin to happen with the involvement of the woman who lives there, beautiful Nadya..

Watch this very warm film. It has also very melodramatic moments .You will understand Russian culture and how really these people are living with their real emotions with love & naiveness actually. The music scores in the film are excellent as well. It is one of the gems of talented, legendary Russian film director Eldar Ryazanov. Watch this film in Russian with English subtitles better.

p.s : They made another film (The Irony of Fate, Continuation) after 30 years with the involvement of the very same actors of 70s. It is also well played but surely nothing can be a replacement like the original one.

The best tip to start a successful dating with a Russian woman is forgetting about the cliches of the past. Let’s first look at the source of these cliche thoughts. After the collapse of Soviet Union, these countries entered into a big financial crisis followed by economical poverty. Naturally, some Russian & Ukrainian women struggled to find a way to be able to get rid of bad life standards. Such women were running after Western men who are rich at the first priority. They dreamed about successful marriages & a happy family life.

Now, in 2010s the situation is completely different. Today’s Russian & Ukrainian women have more financial freedom than before. A typical Russian woman will never marry a Western man only for the dream of a rich life. Most Russian women are well educated, can talk in many languages and know their self values. Forget about this cliche. You should approach a Russian lady by showing your culture, personal values and character. If you have family values, this is top priority. Eventhough Russian women look very free, they actually behave in their private lifes according to family values. Today, Russian women want to marry a Western man since they want to find an educated person with whom can share the life, happiness. It is now possible through online dating sites to search for women and make contact beforehand as to get to know them better.

They seek a person who will be near them and support them in good & bad days. It is where some Russian men lack of and why Russian women try to find trustful men who will not leave them in the future.

Many people think that Russian language is so hard to learn. Well, I will tell you the truth. Learning Russian is not hard, you would be speaking and understanding Russians after at most 2, 3 months of normal study of elementary material. The hardest part is to become really fluent (It is not actually a need though). Surely, it will need more live Russian video chat with your partner. I am fluent in Russian language and had studied several material in the learning process. I will suggest only two of these endless books and language sets that I had chance to review. You can learn more than enough Russian just yourself with them. Buy both of them. The first one will give you the best grammar skills. The second one is pure audio which is needed to really talk and understand with the correct grammar from the first book. Both of them will cost you not more than $20
