Mark Brooks: The other leading Russian dating sites are Mamba.ru, Damochka.ru and Anastasiaweb.com which focuses more on mail order brides (see interview).

Mark, why do you so obstinately mention Anastasia?
Believe me only very few Russians ever heard about this company
Forget it Kvinna, Mark is a typically dumb when it comes to Russian dating sites…if it isn’t a UK, US site (or plentyoffish) he hasn’t got a clue
First of all, you’re right. Russian dating websites are very much off my radar. Perhaps you could advise me/us?
I believe Anastasiaweb is a Russian dating site. It’s a mail order bride site populated with Russian women that UK and American women use primarily. I don’t think they particularly aim to be in the limelight in Russia. Why else does it not deserve to be included with Mamba and Damochka? Which sites are missing?
Mark, first of all Anastasia is not Russian, but American company. So I think Anastasia more deserve to be included with Match.com or Yahoo personals (lol). There are only few women actually are interested in MOB dating in Russia.
As for Russians sites that are missing, I can said a lot of them, for example maybe.ru, omen. ru, neznakomka.ru.
Kvinna, most of this websites are part of one huge content call Mamba. It controls 85% of all online dating market in Russia.
Kvinna, got idea about startup in Russia. Let me know, if interested.
