Some girls want a better life for themselves and their future kids. In Russia a working mom is typical, women have to do really a lot to support the family - sometimes they get more money than their men. They don't want to be mules and try to find a husband who can support them.
Besides, if a woman gets divorced here in Russia she gets next to no money from her ex-husband to help bring up kids, and a lot of men don't give even this little.
Then, I hope I'm not offending anyone, many guys here in Russia are not what a girl might dream about. They drink, don't care about their looks, are rude etc.
But, in spite of all this, not many Russian girls marry foreigners - though many would like to. Usually they're girls who know other languages, they think that a marriage like this is the best way to apply their language skills.
I've been asked a lot of times why I'm still here 'cos I know English well enough to live abroad. :)))

To have better life. Its so hard for Russian girls to earn good money in Russia. Marriage with a foreigner means escaping from the poor life for them.

they think they will have a better life. Plus Russian men are very difficult to deal with.
However, sometimes they are wrong
