Ludmila , You are so right... I have said it before in previous posts.Men who seek a Slavic wife should be prepared to give (donate some) money. It is important to realize , that when marrying a Slavic woman , you are also marrying her family.. I don't want to use the phrase " poor country " here.Let us say that there is a bad economical situation. But if it is wise to send money to someone who you have never met or seen , is another matter. It all depends on how and what you feel about the on going correspondence .... Good advice is hard to give in these circumstances , but that should not stop you , to find your dream woman ... Eric
