What Should You Know About National Character Of Russian Girls And Ukraine Women
09/25/2017

Just like appearance, the nature of Russian and Ukrainian women also differ. The first is more reserved, flexible and patient. She forgives a lot for her man and in some cases, she is really ready to "stop the horse at a gallop and enter the burning hut". The traces of Domostroi's norms sticking into her for centuries are more preserved in the nature of a Russian woman, so the habit of being in the "second cast" family is quite natural for many Russians.

Ukrainians have a more disobedient, obstinate and freedom-loving temper, which is due to the strong influence of the cult of the Mother Goddess. It was distributed in the territories that are now occupied by modern Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine. A Ukrainian woman is less inclined to forgive a man for his imperfection and is always ready to assert her rights in a heated debate.

The intra-family relations of a typical Ukrainian family, for example, the end of the XIX century, are beautifully described in the story "The Kaidasheva Family" by Ivan Nechuy-Levitsky. The writer perfectly understood the relationship between relatives and the role of women in them. Ukrainians very rarely allow themselves to be driven into the victim's position, they often scandalize and defend themselves more actively.

These differences in national character are also confirmed by divorce statistics. In Russia in 2012, there were 53% of divorces of the total number of marriages. In Ukraine, 61% of divorces at the same period. Even with a constant increase in the number of divorces in both countries, the number of divorces in Ukraine is 8% higher.

For comparison, the same indicators in other countries: Canada - 48%, the United States - 46%, the United Kingdom - 42%, France - 38%, Japan - less than 27%. Such a high level of divorce in Russia and Ukraine is due, first of all, to the material problems and drunkenness of the husband, with which the Russians are ready to put up more than Ukrainian women.

This is confirmed by "hotter" temperament of Ukrainians, and their more free, "matriarchal" views. For a Russian woman, being much more ready for sacrifice, the preservation of the family comes first. Her personal happiness is often pushed back to the background.

Nevertheless, of course, it can not be said that all Ukrainian women and Russian ladies fit these criteria - all people are different, and one should not be judged simply by nationality.
