First Look:
Elena’s Models' mission is to help you meet “Russian girls of model quality” who are interested in marrying foreign men. While this claim may seem hard to deliver, the site has some great features that can make your dream of having a beautiful Russian bride come true:
Pros
- This company has been in business since 1999, and shortly after its founding, Elena’s Models has risen to the top as one of the most trusted sites on the Internet for finding a Russian bride.
- The site’s owner, Elena, knows this stuff since she met and married a Western man this way. She’s also the author of e-books like How To Find And Marry A Girl Like Me.
- >Elena’s Models focuses exclusively on Eastern European women, with thousands of active (according to their site) profiles of women mostly from Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria.
- The site is tough on spammers and scammers, so you can feel secure and confident that you’re corresponding with a real person.
- A new feature is the personal matchmaking service that will help you with one-on-one interactions.
Cons
- This site is best only if you want to meet someone from Eastern Europe, not elsewhere.
- There actually are some models on the site, but many of these women are choosy and do not respond to most expressions of interest.

How it Works
It’s simple and free to browse the Russian and Ukrainian personals. You can search the personals listings by the usual age, height, weight, but also things like minimum level of English and astrological sign. More than other sites I’ve reviewed, many of these women have a decent level of English, which will make an eventual in-person meeting much more enjoyable and successful. Of course the site also offers paid translation services to help you with any of these sexy Eastern European girls! Elena’s models also helps arrange everything in order for you to meet the woman you are interested in, or can put you on a romance tour where you can meet dozens of women in a single week.
One nice feature of the site is that the profiles list an “expression of interest response rate,” which I like because you have a good indication about how invested this beautiful Russian woman might be in finding a serious relationship. Among the paid services, the Weekly Ladies Catalog is the best deal because you get contact information for all the new ladies that have joined in the previous 4 weeks. More importantly, these women tend to have the highest response rate. Of course you can also search and sort the profiles by the Last Login Time so that you are looking at the most active profiles of Russian women (or whichever country you prefer). One of the best things about the site is that it focuses as much on the women as on the men, so another way to go about things is to take the reverse approach and search for a Ukrainian woman looking for a man like you! You’re guaranteed she’ll be interested that way.
Final Thoughts
I like to view Elena’s Models more as a personal matchmaker than has a Russian bride catalog. With happy clients from 150 countries, and tons of glowing testimonials on the site, Elena’s Models is a really inspiring place to find love. The Weekly Ladies Catalog makes it a no-brainer to start writing to lots of Russian women at one of the best prices on the Internet. There are a 100 new Eastern European girls joining per week, one of whom might be your wife someday soon! It’s free to join and search, so check it out!
