Russian Brides And Dating
I Russian Bride tells the story of a Russian woman in love with an American man through a means only possible in our technical world. It is a story of unfeigned love and naiveté underscored by the uncertainty inherent in a virtually-connected world. Ivana’s emails to her belovéd leave unanswered questions lurking in regards to the honestness of relationships and the potential for deception in humane interactions. A distinct distance from the outside world pervades in on occasion fairytale-like letters, while heavier letters recall innovative struggles in Russia and the changes in interpersonal relationships brought in regards to by asynchronous communicating modes on the Internet.
