The one vital question that looms large in the minds of men is that why should Russian women look for husbands abroad? Is it that they want to migrate to the West at any cost by using marriage as a stepping stone?



The answer to both the questions is a big NO. A few issues plaguing the Russian society pushes them to choose Western life partners. There are many reasons for this. Taking a look at Russian men objectively, the statistics reveal that Russian men cannot make good husbands because of their alcohol abuse and poor health conditions. The society and life conditions in Russia push the men towards alcohol addiction.
