Silly people, beautiful women are beautiful women no matter where they come from.
Seriously though, I think for some of us Americans there is still a bias after 50 years of the Cold War and Russians being the bad guys in all our movies, tv and books. Which is really silly considering that the Soviet system has been gone longer than a lot of the Russian Models have even been alive.
Even now on American TV and Movies now, so often the only Russian characters are either mobsters or prostitues.
For guys here the smile is very important! i know a russian girl in real life, very cute and stylish, she says no one smiles in russia, but when she goes back to visit her family they can call tell she was in america because she is smiling all the time.
Cultures are different, russians are more serious, but all that i've met have had intense personalities, russians do not take shit! they know what they want and will tell you like it is! all the russians i have met in real life i respect and have become my role models! intelligent, intense, assertive.
