Ukrainian blonde scam

While looking for information on the Model 1944 Mosin-Nagant the other day, I came across references to Maria Nikiforova, an anarchist of some fame during the Russian Civil War. I had never heard of Nikiforova, so I did searches and got a number of references to cities in the Ukraine.

Today I am searching those cities and already I have a conclusion:

There are no men of marriageable age in Alexandrovsk.

I am looking at “Images of Alexandrovsk,” and of the first 19 images, eight are of young women. Of the next 25 pictures, 10 are of young woman. I am not clicking on any of the pictures. Placing the cursor on one picture gives information that the woman is “well-bred, tender and sophisticated.”

Well, good for her.

Then there are: “29-yo seeks male …”, “44 yo smiling, cheerful and cute Ukrainian girl …”, and another, holding an apple: “scammer ID #----, Natalie from Alexandrovsk. Stop scam, stop fraud.”

I figure what indicates one, indicates all. Good sense would dictate blonde 44 yo Ukrainian “girl” is in the same neighborhood as that Nigerian widow who needs to deposit $35 million in my checking account.

Just saying.

A funny. Picture of a dog lying on its side, with information, “Alexandrovsk Overview, Things To Do, Hotels, Restaurants, Local Customs …” Taking pictures of sleeping dogs must be a local custom.

The next 29 pictures, 24 are young women.

On the bottom row, tucked in between four lovely Ukrainian ladies is a mug shot of Maria Nikiforova. She was executed by the Whites in 1919. She gave her life so her future Ukrainian sisters could post color photographs of themselves. What else would an anarchist do?
