Part of the Family

If you are single and visit Russia and meet someone, keep in mind that you are not only getting a significant other but a completely new family. Russian families are highly close, so expect to be welcomed into the fold if one of them has selected you. Russians are typically incredibly supportive of their loved ones and will go to great lengths to help them. So, when it comes time to meet the parents, don’t be surprised if you’re immediately adopted into the family and treated as if you were their own son or daughter.
