From the Editor in Chief

Dear Readers,

Anastasia Secrets is a departure from the traditional publication and style that has identified the Anastasia group of companies over the years. Secrets is a tribute to the new awareness that Russian and CIS women have of themselves and the world around them, spawned by their fierce beauty and uplifting, daring attitude towards today’s world. It’s a tribute to real Russian women, the flesh and blood that lives and thrives in Russia & CIS and are accessible at Anastasia.

Russian women and their unique brand of femininity are unlike any other female culture in the world. Bold, proud, beautiful with their own inimitable charm and a pragmatic, direct yet romantic outlook on life, these women have exploded repeatedly onto the world stage over the years and represent the evolution of their species through years of cultural change, ethnic amalgamation, war, occupation, isolation and new awakening to modern times as the barriers of the Wall collapsed. Multifaceted with unlimited smarts, Russian women now occupy a majority of the professional workforce in the former Soviet Union as doctors, lawyers, scientists, researchers, teachers and business entrepreneurs starved for success and the best the world has to offer. Not only ambitious, today’s Russian femme is also highly educated, extremely well read, appreciative of the arts and often fluent in several languages. At the same time, propelled by arresting animal magnetism, Russian women have evolved to proliferate as the essence of creation and re-creation.

We hope you enjoy the premiere issue of Secrets as well as subsequent and frequent updates. Because as of now,the Secret is out…
