No, Craigslist doesn't charge a cent.

Likely your answer is as simple as cultural/social preferences and differences

The FSU populations is most certainly centralized more so than the other countries you mentioned,and certainly the percent of population with internet access is greater.

You seem to be expecting the general /FSUw population to not only be desperate,(which they are not)but also for them to  prefer some western website you think they would.

Try to imagine a developed country with their own language websites,,
like VK compared to the popularity of facebook. there..
or mamba compared to match. .etc
I believe Russian firms to be heavily invested in several large ,what you consider western websites.

I'm not sure there is a similar to craigslist russian site.if not its because there is no demand for it, if there one ,then like other websites have shown,, the vast majority of the population would utilize it ,not an english  based one.

I'd avoid the small percent of population truly desperate,as there are plenty of women that are not so desperate ,yet would consider relocation.They may not actively seek,,so are perhaps harder to contact,that does not mean there are not more of them.

Out of curiosity, I went to Craigslist, then to CL International, then Russia, and saw an option Moscow. Then I selected Personals. Here is what came out:

http://moscow.craigslist.org/search/ppp?sort=rel

Here is one profile of an American seeking a woman. Looks like you are not the first who came on this thought  :nod:

http://moscow.craigslist.org/m4w/4689158273.html

another one http://moscow.craigslist.org/m4w/4678200757.html

more

http://moscow.craigslist.org/m4w/4688393849.html

http://moscow.craigslist.org/m4w/4688156351.html

Looks like the Craigslist is not that bloody ;)

You can search by Women seeking men, here is someone:

Men are like Bluetooth: he is connected to you when you are nearby, but searches for other devices when you are away.
Women are like Wi-Fi: she sees all available devices, but connects to the strongest one.

This is an old thread, but looks like craigslist does have an assortment of Ukrainian personals.
Wonder if anyone has had success using craigslist?

Don't shoot the messenger, links to articles posted, don't necessarily reflect my personal opinion.

Bella:
Your CL addresses all come with a "404" Error Message "No Web Page found".
No idea why.  Perhaps due to age as your post was 2 years ago now!

Resurrecting a two year old thread then wondering why the links no longer work is dumb.
