Anna Pavlova is another Russian woman celebrated for her talent, as a dancer, and also for her goodness and loyalty to friends; including Victor Dandr?, who was regarded by many to have been her husband, though this has never been proven.
Amongst dancers, tennis players, cosmonauts, intellectuals, and gymnasts, there is no shortage of Russian and Ukrainian women who stand out and were immense pillars of strength for their families. These two women, Ayn Rand and Anna Pavlova, just happened to be married to foreigners.

Whilst Anna Kornikova and Maria Sharapova may be single, they are regarded for their beauty (above all), their talent (second), and their personalities.

These Russian girls are focused professionals, possessing the gentile qualities typical of their nationality.
Other women who catch the eye are Elena Kondakova, a Russian cosmonaut who has logged 178 days in space;
Olga Korbut, a Soviet gymnast, recognized for her efforts after the Chernobyl? nuclear disaster;
Nina Ananiashvili, a renowned Georgian-born dancer and figure skater; and Bella Akhmadulina, who is a famous poet, translator, and essayist.

Each one of these women has talent, spirit, discipline, grace, and beauty. These are their weapons, if you will. Compassion and dedicate are other traits to note, and these are what give the Russian woman her most compelling power: loyalty and devotion to her family and loved ones above all.
