From the time of our online debut in Feb. 2000, our initial photo gallery has grown from under 300 to  over 1,000 attractive, sincere & marriage minded  Russian girls.  Approximately 85% of these women reside in the central Russian city of Togliatti (600 miles southeast of Moscow), and the other 15% living within a 3-hour radius. This geographic concentration allows for extremely fast contact turn-around time when using our email service, and also makes it possible for you to visit Russia without the need to travel thousands of additional miles once you decide to meet the women with whom you have been writing.   Many improvements have been made to the site &  the company has begun to grow & mature. One of  the most difficult aspects to begin & operate an  Int'l Bureau of Introductions is overcoming the  less-than-shining reputation that the mail order bride industry as a whole has earned since the advent of the Internet.
