The Unique Mentality Of Russian Women

By Lera Cupidonova

The word women, when said aloud, will make most people think of their own mother. A loving, caring warm person in your life. And as people spend the majority of their young life with the mother, most people expect all women to be exactly the same. But sadly this is not the case. Since the time of feminism Western women have changed to become much more independent and focused on their careers. The same cannot be said of Russian women though.

Although a bit of a generality it is still true that Western people have very different mentalities to their Eastern counterparts. The attitude of Eastern people can be said to be very like that of Western people many years ago. Every person is different but the women of Russia do share common personality traits. And it is these traits that make them the most feminine and caring in the world.

All throughout history the women of Russia have stood out. It has always been the women who have held together families and communities during times of hardship. It is times like these that show a persons true character. They are widely known to have one of the most protective and caring cultures in the world. And it is traits just like these that give Russian hostesses their reputation of being more hospitable than any other.

A contributing factor to this mentality is communism. All of the older generation were raised in a communist country which gave them very strong family values. As well as this, they were raised to believe in giving to the community, responsibility and self dedication. They believe that giving help to others is the most important thing they can do, even more important than themselves. And these values have been, and will continue to be, passed down from mother to child.

Russian men often take these women and their loving and caring nature for granted as they experience it all their lives. And the men do not really no how to appreciate their wives, so end up treating them badly. Unbelievably, the women are expected to take care of the children, clean the home, cook all the meals and work an eight hour a day job, all on their own.

In recent years, a lot of Western influences have found their way into Russia. And this has shown the women there that not all men have the same attitude towards them as the Eastern ones do. There are now more and more stories of women making good lives for themselves outside of Russia. A lot of the women have a friend or have heard of someone who has moved abroad and loves the attitude of their new husband.

The women of Russia, when they hear these stories of love and romance, are starting to realise that they deserve to be treated much better than they currently are. When treated kindly and with love and affection, they quickly become the most dedicated and appreciative wives who live solely for their husbands.
