It basically says the easy days of going to Russia and finding a good woman are drying up. It used to be the women were trying to escape economic hardship but the economy has improved greatly and that's no longer the case. Now it comes down to demographics more than anything as there are millions more women of marriagable age than men now. The dream of the Russian woman is to have a family and that's not realistic for many women unless they look outside the Russia border.
