Живая речь: Иваново - город невест? City of Brides

Russian stereotypes exist not only from foreigners about Russians, but from Russians about themselves, too. One location in the country, Ivanovo, is known as the "City of the Brides". It is allegedly home to so many more women than men that the ladies have nothing else to do but to dream about getting married. Is this true? Живая речь (Lively Talk) is a treasure trove of Russian as it is spoken by real people on the streets of Moscow and beyond. Each week we choose a question and ask it to real people, sharing with you a rich variety of how Russian speakers think, look, and speak Russian.
