[QUOTE=Sweep;1203853]Curious, but why do you recommend Khabarovsk over Vlad? Nothing much to see / do in Khabarovsk. It's just the suburbs. Also, Vlad is probably easier to navigate for the non-Russian speaking people.[/QUOTE]Hi Sweep,
I had a better time in Khabarovsk than Vlad. Simple as that. I thought the clubs were better and the girls were friendlier.
Cheers,
Dude, more. Please! I'm hoping to make it to Russia one day.
[QUOTE=CanadianBoy; 1213267]You make vaild points concerning Nihzny-Novgorod and I think I will skip Russia completely and focus on Ukraine. My second option is to always go back to Minsk and follow up on the ground work I made in September-October.
The problem with Kharkov, or so I have read on this site, is that the girls there seem to be similar to the girls in Belarus: conservative and not as apt to find a sponsor like in Kyiv or a much poorer Ukrainian city like Ternopil. However, I have also read in numerous posts here on ISG that the women in Kharkov are mostly students and absolutely beautiful. However, I don't speak Russian or Ukrainian but I do dress very well, have a trusting personality and am not afraid to spend money. So, I have a tough decision to make. Kharkov could be very rewarding or an absolute disaster. I do like your idea of contacting English departments.[/QUOTE]Don't write off Russia so quickly.
After 8 years and 15 spring or autumn visits to Kharkov, I stopped going there and now I've only gone to Russia for the last four years. And I'm not sorry about that at all. I simply had never been to Russia, and so I wanted to try it, to see how they compared and if it was really any better.
All of Latex's reasons are valid, but what it comes down to is whether a monger is going for business or not.
If someone is going strictly for mongering, there are some points that have not been mentioned yet. Some readers will think they are not important points. You can decide for yourself about that.
Part of the puzzle, is about how easy it is to get there or not. Visas and registrations are more difficult. You can look at that two ways. You can take the easier road. But the more difficult path will probably lead you to where making acquaintances will allow you meet women that you will be their first foreigner to sleep with.
Abou Kharkov, the pro scene there is VERY limited. There's almost no agencies to call. And the one that is there, usually has only one woman that's a 7 or 8/10. The rest are skanks.
But for sponsorships, the possibilities in a city of 1. 5 million people, are limitless. BUT the limit, is your lack of speaking Russian. Without that, your chances for sponsorships decrease about 80% to 90. Because the women that would be open to that speak zero english. With no Russian, you'll never even find them or vice versa, let alone figure out where to meet. Yes, Mamba helps, buts its definitely not enough. So your only option is to make friends with SOMEONE who can translate for you, and pay them to be your sponsorship interpreter.
Don't get hung up on students. Lots of women that are 19-21 attend some university or institutes, but there are a lot that don't too. They're not all that different, in that they all need spending money for something. They're certainly not all absolutely beautiful. Don't let that slow you down either.
Like Kharkov or Nizhny or anywhere, its a tough road to plough. There's always highs and lows, good days, great days, slow days, and shitty times. Keep in mind I am talking about meeting not less than one or even two new women EVERY single day, AT A MINIMUM! Any goal set lower than that is not much of a challenge.
The key is certainly not clubs like ZTOP. Unless your goal is to listen to dance music blasting loud enough to make you go deaf, and to try to get a phone number of someone that may or may not ever meet you another time, and may or may not sleep with you.
What I've learned, is that its all about being outgoing and friendly and courteous and making lots and lots of friends, and being overly generous. If you can do that, eventually the word gets around and the women who are open to sponsorships will come to you via their girlfriends, and then you really don't have to worry about taxis or metros or buses or restaurants or nightclubs or agencies or visas or registrations.
There's nothing inexpensive about that though. Until you meet some ladies that aren't greedy, and then it all evens out.

[QUOTE=Nickc;1216767]Do both, there close enough anyway.[/QUOTE]They sure are. A nice easy overnight train, pick up a Khabarovsk dyev in Vlad who wants to go back to Khabarovsk and show you around, screw her senseless in the train on the way and then do a couple of her friends when you arrive.
Sounds like fun!
(and very do-able).
Cheers,

Interesting article about Krasnodar (in Russian).
Seems to be a great party place.

The 2012 World Junior Hockey Championship in Calgary, Alberta, Canada just finished (Sweden defeated Russia for the gold medal) and I am already considering a trip to the 2013 tournament in Ufa, Russia. That's a long way from Canada but I am up for the challenge. I have heard Ufa is a 6 hour flight from Moscow. Other than that I know nothing about this city.
Has anyone been to Ufa? What is the city like?
Of course I will look at the usual websites to meet women in Ufa but advice from members here is always welcomed.
Happy New Year!
I will be in Ryazan in June for two weeks. Does anyone have any knowledge of this city? ? Are there women avalible? If so, at what cost? Any info. Would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Is there any action in Kaluga? Are there any clubs or web sites for sex ads? I will be in Kaluga for couple of weeks and I am wondering if I have to go to Moscow for mongering.
Is it true that Lake Baikal is a popular tourist area? I met a Russian guy who was telling me that he's been to Lake Baikal (he didn't specify where exactly) in the summer and that there were lots of hot women and beaches. He really pushed that it was worth visiting and that it would be a good time. I've been doing some research online and while I can see that the lake is gorgeous, it seems more like a vacation spot for people wanting to spend time in nature. I have seen no evidence that it is a party spot and that there are lots of hotels and clubs to go to.
What do you Russian experts say?
I'm thinking that for beaches and lots of hot EE ladies it would be the Black Sea, Turkey, Egypt.

[QUOTE=Ginkgo Bear;1261576]I was in Kaluga last month. You better plan to go to Moscow.[/QUOTE]Do you know any web sites with girls from Kaluga? Are there any clubs?
And from Kaluga to Moscow how much time is needed to go? Is it possible and realistic to go for the night and be back in the morning in Kaluga?

When reaching Moscow suburbs anyway, you will learn the real meaning of "traffic jams" just like one learns the meaning of winter when experiencing it in Russia.
With good traffic conditions, you will need 8 hours for a round trip.
