They always had just one embassy and two consulates. Embassy is in Moscow. Consulates are one in Far East and the one in Ural mountauns. It’s quite insane to just fly there for interview. Vladivostok is 8 and a half hours flight from Moscow (if that’s the one she is flying, the other one is a bit closer). It’s insane. Where is she in Russia? She’ll do all that to meet someone the first time on the other side of the world?

Why does she say Russian men are ugly. Such a bizarre thing to say. Some are attractive and some aren’t as in any other culture. Kind of rude thing to say. You said she is educated but she comes across as a bit off. Have you looked up her place of employment?

Something is off.
