Holidays Russian Ladies Miss Abroad

Men are known to forget certain things, even if they know it is vital not to. Good examples of such very important things are marriage anniversaries, your wife's parents' birthdays, or anything related to the moments why you ended up being married, e.g. the first kiss (day and location), first walk under the stars, first meal she cooked, first (second, and tenth) vacation together and many more similar moments related to first, second, seventh etc. anything. I have to warn you, with Russian ladies looking for marriage abroad, it's no easier. At some point in life they will also want you to remember the names of all the USSR leaders, all the major events in the development of Russian democracy, well-known poets, popular singers and other crazy stuff. This article is a little cheat sheet on major Russian holidays that you should know at least a little bit about if you are interested in Russian ladies for marriage.
Complexities of New Year's and Christmas
First of all, you need to know that a lot of Christmas traditions are actually what Russian people associate with New Year's. For example, New Year's is the time when kids wait for so-called Grandpa Frost (Russian Santa) to leave presents under the New Year's tree. Yes, we do call it a New Year's tree! As for Christmas - it is celebrated according to Orthodox Christian tradition on January 7th and in a much more modest manner than in Western countries. The only person in our family who benefits a lot from such complexities is our child, who knows that he is going to get presents from both American and Russian Santa. Yes, the latter old man does come all the way to the North America! I feel it's important for all husbands of Russian ladies not to forget about holidays that their wives were so used to before they decided to start a life in another country. Russian ladies who are married to Americans learn how to cook turkey for Thanksgiving, wear a traditional and, let's face it, ugly sweater on December 24th and become a witch or a cat-woman on Halloween; now it's your turn to pay them back, because even if they love it here, they still don't want to forget where they came from. So don't take away the Christmas tree 2 days after 25th like they do in malls, killing the New Year's mood, wait another week or two for the holidays to continue.
March 8th
If you have plans for choosing your future wife among Russian brides, there is one more holiday you should know. This is International Women's Day, which is celebrated on March 8th. That's the day to praise your mothers and grandmothers and give presents to girls at school. Flowers are a must. So if you want to surprise your Russian wife on that day, make sure she's totally free from all housework and has fresh beautiful flowers waiting for her early in the morning - at least that's the way to celebrate it in Russia. Go out and have a nice dinner. It will totally make her day!
May 9th
This date is something every person in Russia knows and takes enormous pride in. It's the day of the Great Victory in WWII, which is celebrated with parades all over the country and people wearing black and orange ribbons. Every Russian lady knows at least 2 patriotic war songs. It's the day to remember our grandfathers who destroyed the Nazi regime. However, when I was telling about this historical moment to our son, he said that I was confusing something and that the war was actually won by the United States. Even if it's true, make sure never to suggest this to your Russian wife!
Maslenitsa
This holiday seems to be very Russian, because it is common to dress in national clothes to celebrate it. Women wear colorful sarafans (traditional dress) and kokoshniks (national women's head-dress) and bake lots of bliny (pancakes). Though this holiday has pagan origins - "burning" the winter and greeting spring - it's also the last week before Lent. So, if you intend to fast, then indulge as much as you can in bliny that are round and yellow like the spring sun. All ladies in Russia know how to make bliny, older women even have their own secret recipes that they don't like to share.
