Russians everywhere do not have a good reputation. Russians need visas to travel to almost any country and single Russian women simply cannot get visas, they have such a *reputation*.

I have heard that a lot of the prostitutes in Amsterdam where prostitution is legal, are Russians. Someone recently told me that a lot of the 'showgirls' in Vegas are Russians. The EU actually formally complained to the Russian government about a few years ago about the flood of Russian women in the sex industry in western Europe, and I believe that it was in 2004 or 2005 that Russia finally passed its' FIRST human trafficking legislation. Fat lot of good it did anyway. The law is meaningless here.

Here's a really good one: About 2 summers ago the entire Russian diplomatic team was deported from Helsinki Finland for running a prostitution ring of Russian women out of their diplomatic housing!
