Latest authoritative Ukraine-Russia bride guide rates A VOLGA GIRL top agency in Russia:
Dr. Walter Parchomenko, a Fulbright Scholar and distinguished professor, has just published his independent and very critical study of the most reliable and best value dating-marriage agencies in Ukraine and Russia.

A Volga Girls was rated best in Russia and Kiev Connections best in Ukraine for their matchmaking services. Elena's Models was rated the best agency to supplement A Volga Girls' and Kiev Connections' matchmaking programs, offering reliable and very affordable services in both countries.

Dr. Parchomenko found these three agencies to meet the following essential criteria: excellent customer service, stringent scammer protection, an established company history of more than a decade, and numerous positive testimonials with the names and photos of former clients. Each agency also guarantees that the women they accept are real and carefully vetted by staff before their profiles are published online. Significantly, each of these agencies is the product of a successful marriage between a Western man and a Ukrainian or Russian bride.

Dr. Parchomenko's new book is the first Ukrainian and Russian bride guide to provide a GPS-like roadmap for serious Western bride seekers. It makes all the major, hard decisions online and in-country any man will need to make in his bride search, including selection of a totally reliable, full-service marriage agency in Ukraine and Russia, and a scam-free apartment rental. Unique features of this guide book include: a four-month timetable from the start of a man's online bride search to the time he boards a plane for Ukraine or Russia for a two-week vacation and adventure of a lifetime and a systematic bride search; findings from a survey of 4,000 women's profiles on websites; results from a review of 200 men's testimonials about their bride search experiences in Ukraine and Russia.

Paperback and ebook editions of a Ukrainian-Russian Bride Guide are available from Amazon.com

More detailed information on this powerful new tool to guide serious Western men online and in-country, and an interview with the author, may be found at this book's official website, www.aweakamerican.com

A Volga Girl the movie! (Update) National Geographic contracted with an independent film producer (PSG Films from Washington state) to produce a one hour TV documentary titled "E-Mail Order Bride". The shooting for the TV documentary began in November 2008 and two A Volga Girl clients and couples were featured through the courting, engagement and marriage phases of their relationship. Also, the documentary included interviews with the A Volga Girl staff, company President and several of the Russian ladies featured on the website. This was one of the first accurate and honest accounts of the "foreign marriage" phenomena. In 2011 and 2012 the TV documentary continued to run on a monthly basis in Europe, New Zealand and Australia, Africa and Asia on the BBC network; and in the US and Canada a few times per year. The documentary has high acclaim and interest throughout the world. In these modern times and small world made accessible through the internet, men of all ages have sought to not limit their search for a bride to their own countries and are now looking worldwide. Of course, this worldwide exposure has dramatically increased the demand for our marriage agency services. Many of you watched the TV documentary and saw the arrival and marriage of Olga to Gary in Las Vegas and also James court Uliana in Togliatti, Russia. Though James did not proposed during the filming of the documentary, we are happy to announce that James and Uliana are now happily married.

Reuters is an international wire and news service. A Volga Girl owner Craig Rich was contacted for comment about pending legislation that would require all users of Russian bride sites to undergo a background check before they ever utilized the services of companies like ours at volgagirl.com.

The New York Daily News featured a cover story about Russian mail order brides, asking Craig and Arina Rich to discuss how an American man goes about finding a Russian wife.

While the media has historically been less than kind in providing an overview of Internet-based relationships, this cover article of the New York Daily News weekly women's section did provided a somewhat balanced view, though the isolated incidence of abuse & violence within such relationships are commonly presented for the "shock value" it creates among the readers. In fact, there are no statistics indicating that there is any higher incidence of abuse or neglect in American-Russian marriages than in the general American population at large.
