Russia is a culture rich with traditions and history. It is famous for their arts; their ballet is world renowned as well as their classical music, and the amazing architecture in their cities. Vodka and Matryoshka dolls are some of the first things that come to people minds when they think of Russia, and secondly it is the women. The Russian women are the backbone of the homes and the traditions.

The women pride themselves on their intelligence, their education, and the fact that they are hard working, not afraid to work for what they want or need. Careers are something that only a few women choose, the majority desire a husband and children. They value the tradition of family which makes most of them marry young, normally between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two. Most of them marry before they are independent outside of the home.

Women also marry young for social status, not because they want great social status, but because society expects it of them. A woman who is not married by the age of twenty-five is regarded as having something wrong with her, even if she has a good career and makes her own money. A married woman with children holds a higher social status and more respect than a single woman.

Marriage is sacred to women in Russia. This is a partnership, a union of equals. It must come with respect and appreciation because they sacrifice all for their husbands and families. Commitment is very important, if a man is unfaithful it is considered to rip the whole foundation of the marriage apart.

As marriage is important, the role of a wife is one of pride. They believe in a man working and providing for the family, while the wife stays at home and takes care of the household and children. She helps a man build up his career, sacrificing her own if she has to in order to do so. Taking care of her husband is one of her main goals, aside from her children. Creating a loving and warm home is a great sense of accomplishment.

These women are considered the best mothers in the world because of their dedication and sacrifice they give to their children. They are always there to offer moral and financial support throughout their children’s lives, no matter their ages when they need the help. It is considered a great pride to have a son and the relationship between the mother and son is very strong throughout their lives. With a daughter, there is a lot that they are taught. The mother prepares them on how to run a household, how to cook, sew, and make a good home.

A Russian woman never hesitates to make the dish their husband requests or is their favorite; they make each meal with pride and love, putting their heart into their work. And, cooking isn’t a simple thing as they need to pick up groceries each day, they don’t traditionally stock up for the week or two. Some consider a real Russian home is one where the smell of a good soup greets you at the door.

Russia is a country rich in tradition and values and it is the Russian women who are the backbone of most of that. They dedicate themselves to their families and their husbands, the values are deeply rooted in them and they desire to make others happy. Although some may see them as old fashioned, Russian women are anything but, they just choose to live in a way that makes them happy and feel well cared for.
