Thank you for the time you've taken to put together a good 'Reality Check' for all the nonsense currently surrounding the notion of a Russian wife. While I think that many American men may be attracted to the fantasy of the Perfect Russian Bride (beautiful, young, easy and eager to please), your essays made clear the simple and wonderful truth: Russian women are human beings, with all the glory and tragedy that comes with that condition.

It is the first time I have seen your WEB site and I was very impressed with what you said about the 'Myths'. I really do agree with your angle on things and I think you understand the dynamics of the whole situation very well. Not only that but I liked what seemed to be your way of thinking about what it takes to make a successful marriage/relationship. It's refreshing to read such things.
The city of Omsk, on the banks of the Irtysh and 0m rivers, is beautiful and sweeping in a Siberian manner.
A beautiful site was chosen for the new fortress by Peter the Great's guardsman Ivan Buchholz;
when in spring of 1716 he and his detachment made a landing on the shore of the Irtysh, at the place where
this powerful Siberian river takes the quiet 0m river into its broad riverbed. According to the edict of the Tsar Peter
the Great and his deputy in Siberia, Prince Gagarin, pioneers erected fortification here to guard the southern Russian borders.
Thus, was founded the town of Omsk, which in our day has become the largest industrial and cultural center in Siberia.
The Alexeevskaya Chapel
The city cherishes its past. The architects and antiquity lovers restored the Serafimo-Alexeevskaya Chapel,
which even now is surrounded by numerous legends. One of the legends says that the Chapel was built in 1908 to commemorate
the birth of the Cesarevitch Alexei. Another tells that it was built to memorialize the soldiers killed in Russia's war
with Japan. The chapel was torn down in the 1920s and was rebuilt brick by brick as a project under the supervision of the artist V. Desyatov.
The history of Omsk lives not only in the streets of the city, it lives in the museums, in the inspirational works of
Omsk artists, actors and historians.
The Omsk museum of local lore, history and economy is the oldest in Siberia.
It was founded in 1878 by the famous Siberian scientists, explorers and public figures: M. Pevtsov, G. Potanin, N. Yadrintsev, and I. Slovtsov.
