This is something I’ve been excited for ever since it was
- Anna (22) – An aspiring model and skillful flirt, Anna recently opened her own modeling school. She craves the spotlight but still lives in a tiny apartment with her parents and meddling grandmother.
- Diana (23) – The goal in life for this princess is to find a man she can marry. Of course, her prince will need to drive a nice car and pay for absolutely everything.
- Anastasia (26) – Graduating college is not in the cards for this Russian darling who seems more interested in going to the gym, tanning, applying makeup and making sure her hair extensions stay in place.
- Eddie (26) – A handsome lady-killer, Eddie is looking to make a name for himself in the world, while juggling the ladies and his busy social calendar.
- Albert (26) – A wheeler-dealer who values his money and social status in Brighton Beach, Albert knows exactly what he wants: to make millions of dollars and bring a nice Russian girl home to his mom.
- Marina (34) – Dripping in furs and diamonds, Marina is all about status. When she isn’t going head-to-head with her spirited mother-in-law, Eva (age 56), Marina runs the popular local club/restaurant Rasputin with her husband Michael and knows everyone in Brighton Beach.
- Renata (47) – Sweet, energetic and whimsical, Renata hosts a popular Russian radio show. She’s always trying to make nice when it comes to her friends and lovable, yet overbearing, husband Boris.
- Sveta (47) – She rules her 30-year marriage with an iron fist, while her husband Sasha runs a local jewelry store.
I could do without the old broads, but I’m otherwise interested. Unlike the Guidos in “Jersey Shore,” these Russians have aspirations beyond getting wasted and beating up the beat. Aspirations of wealth and material goods and loveless marriages. Opulence, they wants it.
