Vladimir is a beautiful small city if that's where she really lives. Lots of unpleasant stereotypes and exagerrations on this thread re Russian families, men and women. Had to chuckle re "experts on Russia". Unpleasant to read to say the least.

But back to issue with OP. I really doubt that anyone is going there to meet anyone, even even if this girl is real. Chances of a 19 year old being in love with a man her grandpas age who she has never met are rather slim. More slim than chances with previous love interests-baristas.

But good luck. No harm to any of this really as long as you do not send money or share bank accounts with her. Stay safe
