Among the foreigners, Indians make the best husbands for Russian women as they are "more open" and share an emotional relationship with family, says Russia’s leading feminist intellectual Maria Arbatova.
"In my view, out of all the foreigners, the Indian men are the best husbands for Russian women since they are brought up in a different way," famous Russian playwright and poetess Arbatova said.
"The western culture worships the superman and for an Indian male it is not a shame to cry. They are more emotional and have a more open and emotional relationship with the family," she said in an interview to Russian Agrarian Gazeta.
Arbatova, a living symbol of feminist movement of post-Communist Russia, had married twice and is presently living with an Indian. Recently she has published a book The Taste of India.
She became a household name in 1990s in Russia with her feminist TV Programme 'I Can Do It Myself'. Since 1996, she heads the club of 'Women Meddling in Politics' to seek a greater role for the Russian women in the country's politics.
She had also won many international prizes including Cambridge gold medal for her contribution to the 20th century culture.
Russian women can adjust better with an Indian husband and "moreover the Indian cinema has showed us that we have a lot in common", she said adding that no other nation except Indians is more like Russians in terms of character.
"They are as open, lazy and dreamy as we. Russia and India have a lot in common in the economic sphere. We were destroyed by socialism and India by colonialism," she said.
India's unique religious tolerance and believes that the future of the world lies with India, Arbatova says. "The world thinks that the future is with China but I am sure it lies with India.
"Fifty per cent of the English-speaking programmers live in Bangalore. Indians can integrate in the world better than the Chinese since they speak English," Arbatova said.
She added that in China the population is growing older whereas about 500 million in India are below the age of 25.

Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
CHORUS:
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
CHORUS
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
CHORUS:
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
CHORUS
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
(Here it comes again, here it comes again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
