Hello Helen (Office
Manager),
Again, I will never
be able to thank you enough!! Because of your company, I have found my
soul mate, the love of my life. (John & Svetlana were engaged in
Jan 2011 during his trip to Tolgliatti, Russia).

Hi Dave (Volgagirl President),
On November 19, Natalia along with children Denis and
Maksim will arrive here, to begin the next great step in our lives
together. What the future holds in store for us is up to us, and it is
simply a thrill with each step into the unknown! What a year it has been
and such a great adventure. When I first joined with Volga Girl in
December, 2009 I never could have dreamed what the next months would
hold in store. To look back and to see what was, then to see where this
incredible journey has taken me is the stuff that creates legends.
However legends are only based on reality. In contrast, what I have seen
with my own eyes and experienced for myself is real and true.
I never tire of viewing the Volga Girl web site,
reading about and seeing the people, some of which I have come to know.
Never has there been a lady such as Helen Bessonova! She is the supreme
Ambassador of Russia! The National Geographic special remains with me,
recorded and treasured. The familiar faces are truly special and with
each passing day become ingrained more into my consciousness. Volga Girl
is not simply a site where men and women can meet, it is the doorway to
hope; a place where fantasy thoughts and guessing ends and where the new
world begins. This new world has its share of ups and downs as men and
women, separated by continents and cultures, have a unique opportunity
to lay aside all pretenses and send a first message that goes something
like "Hello, my name is.." Neither Russian nor American knows what will
happen next. There are no canned, pre-arranged dates where one person
controls what is seen and what is hidden. Both parties are on unfamiliar
turf. The playing field, so to speak, has been leveled. A lack of
honesty by either party is soon revealed as well as the seriousness of
endeavor.
Dave, what little I can describe is simply not enough to bring
justice to the significance of Volga Girl. To someone who might be
thinking of employing the assistance of Volga Girl I would tell them
that they are not looking just at a real web site, operated and backed
by real, credible, sincere and experienced people, but they may taking
the next step at determining their own destiny. And isn't that what so
many are looking for, a chance to determine their own destiny?
In long and wonderful retrospect,
Jack (Houston, TX)

Hi Dave (Volgagirl President),
My trip went very well, getting through customs in
Moscow was not a problem, it took about 10 minutes. Helen (Office
Mgr.) and Larisa (his VG Lady) were at the airport (in Samara)
waiting for me which was great. Helen is a great asset to your
company. She took care of everything for me. The taxi company you
use is also great. Larisa and I got along very well together and
we talked that this (meeting) will probably lead to something special
for us. Your apartment was very nice and I am glad I stayed there.
Our trip to Moscow went well, and the taxi company (that transported me
from Togliatti to the Samara airport) was on time also. Thank you
once again and also thank Helen for me ,she was great. I will give
you updates about Larisa and I, we plan to see each other again soon.
Thank you once again.
Mike (Connecticut)

Dear Dave, Helen and Lana;
I wanted to take a moment on my last morning in Togliatti to write you a
short letter. When I saw the pictures of the apartment, I was
impressed. But, having now spent the last 2 weeks here, I can say I
am quite pleased that I chose to spend these 2 weeks in your apartment!
When I arrived, the place was very clean, well maintained and looked
fabulous! You have everything here a person would need whether they are
staying for a few days, or 2 weeks like I have. The comfort of the
apartment has made me feel at home even though I am a great many miles
from home.
Having now met both Helen and Lana, I can see why Volga Girl is such a
great agency!
Dave, these two girls are a wonderful asset! I sincerely wish Volga
Girl much success in 2010 and beyond! Helen, thank you so much for
extending such warm hospitality to me.
Sincerely, Robert (Michigan)

Note: Gary & Olga were featured in the "Email
Order Bride" Documentary on National Geographic TV and were married in
Feb 2009 in Las Vegas.
Hello Everybody at A Volga Girl & PSG Films,
What a year it has been since Olga arrived in LA?
We already have a new family tradition. Every year on December 13th, the
day Olga landed in the US, we will watch the video you made. First, Anna
(Producer), I trust you and your baby are happy and healthy. I truly
believe there is no more important work than that of parent. Second, we
love the way you put the documentary together. Mostly, I suppose because
Olga and I look really good! There is some sad moments, of course, but
we laugh hard at ourselves and other scenes. One we particularly like is
you and your wife (Elena), Dave (President, A Volga Girl), and you say
that if something happens to you she will go back to Russia, and she
says, no! Oh, and the way you set up the, "Will she or won't she arrive
scene?" What a riot! Please tell Brian I believe I know which scene he
said he wanted to put down the camera and give me a hug. Olga has all
her immigration cards, SS card, Oregon ID, and starts her advanced
English class in January. She has many friends here in Portland too. We
are happy.
Thank you all so very much. I have had many exciting moments in my life,
but I will never forget this adventure. Olga and I are truly one of the
many successful couples. We wish you much love, joy and peace of mind
during this holiday season.
Cordially,
Gary (Oregon)

Hi Dave (A Volga Girl President)
I just returned from my 2 week trip to
Togliatti with Volga Girl and I must tell you that Helen, your office
Manager, was the Best. Her insight and knowledge was so helpful, the
honesty and integrity of your company is by far the best I have
experienced. The level of customer support was the best I have
ever experienced, there were no extra fees for anything I needed except
for translation with the girls when needed, Helen and Lana were the
Best.
The company apartment was great, very roomy and
comfortable and to be honest it was worth the money for all the room and
comfort, it was like home and I would be happy to stay there again. I
have traveled a lot of times with another company who does Romance Tours
to Ukraine and Russia and for many years and countless trips I always
thought they were the correct way to meet girls but now after traveling
with your company I am convinced that I wasted all my time and money
with the other company on Romance Tours. where you are placed in a bar
setting with a 100 girls and good luck finding your future wife. They
said email the girls you like and I can say with the other company you
had no idea if the girl got your email or not but the point is you never
know. How you do it is great - you always know if the girl got the email
and if she has any interest in you or not. Every girl that said she
would like to meet me did and I had such a wonderful time with each of
them. In two years of traveling to Ukraine on Romance Tours the only
girls I met were girls that just wanted money and nothing else. In
Togliatti, Russia, where your company is located, the girls were
fantastic, honest with high morals and family values and the only things
the girls wanted were to meet there future husband and have a serious
relationship. Your way of sending letters and building a serious
communication with 4 or 5 special girls is far better than Romance
Tours, that you meet 300 girls in 3 different towns and in reality you
had no time to build a serious relationship and nothing happens and that
is how they hook you to go on another Romance Tour with the hope on the
next trip you might meet a special girl the next time. I did back to
back tours with the other company with about 50 men to Ukraine and not
one person got engaged but with your company because I had such good
communication with real girls by the time I arrived I was almost
ready to move to the next step with my special girl. The girls in
Ukraine are fun but if you are looking for a wife you will find Russian
girls are far more serious as I said you want fun go to Ukraine but if
you want a wife you need to go to Russia and where your company is
located I can say honestly was the best I have experienced because of
your company and all the help I got and lets not forget the girls.
Thank you and your company , Bob (New York)
P.S. Bob is returning to Togliatti in Mar 2010 to further his
relationship with a special lady.

Michael and Elena Pipkin
Hi, my name is Michael and I found my true love here on the VolgaGirl website. She is everything I was looking for, and everything I was looking to avoid in an American woman. I got the idea to look for my perfect mate overseas because I was tired of the problems from “local” girls. Russia offers women who embody the old world values missing in our society.
We have been married now for almost one year. In February she gave birth to our beautiful son. Like all relationships, there are highs and lows. I can promise you that the highs far outnumber the lows. I never knew that I could be so happy. Even my family adores Elena.
Her taste in decorating has made our house a real home. I really look forward to coming home every night. And very soon Elena’s own daughter will join us here, and my family will be complete and together under one roof. It sure doesn’t get any better than this.

Hi Helen, I've been back for a few hours now from my first trip to Russia... yes, exhausted... to say the least. I am very calm and determined. 2 traits I didn't have coupled together before my trip.
You've been instrumental in guiding me to attain my goals of love.
Lana has also been a divine tool along with everything you represent at A Volga Girl... I'm a poster child, an excellent spokesperson, and a living example that when your heart's in the right place God does make the way clear.
Anna is the woman of my dreams... and I know it will take a daily, sometimes momentarily, choice we both choose in creating our reality we aim to choose to create. I don't even need to say I have no regrets in running with my heart in the manner I did. But I have to say how grateful I am to have you, Lana, Dave and everyone else instrumental in Anna & I realizing our dreams.
This is just the beginning and I know we will have to work hard to continue our growing love.
I plan to return in 3 to 4 months. I will begin to save immediately. This time my trip will be minus all the pitfalls I made on this first trip. I would like to coincide my trip if and when the fiancee visa project is fully realized. Please keep me updated on this!

I had a great time in Russia!!
I owe you, Helen, Elena, Ludmilla, and Andre a very big thank you!!
I cannot imagine how frustrating it would have been without them.
Please give them my best regards and tell
them that I was glad I got to meet such nice people on this trip.
There a few thing I would like to request.
After talking to Nastya, she has little idea about what can happen next.
I would like her to contract Helen or someone at your office to give her
an "introduction" to the visa process, life in the US, expectations, etc.
I've communicated a lot to her and will continue to do so, but what I
can't really do is to tell her what the big cultural differences are.
I know your staff has more knowledge in this area. I was also hoping
that there are some Russian ladies with American husbands in the US that
she could communicate with.
I believe that we are at the point where
was are moving forward and I wish to have another visit to see her.
I want to book a vacation for both of us...I was thinking the Greek
islands.
I would like Nastya to be able to talk to
someone at your office anytime she has questions. I am willing to
keep a balance on hand to pay for this service if you will just let me
know what I would need to deposit. Also, do I owe any additional
money beyond the $325.00 to your organization for the services they've
provided?
You guys are great!! :)
