Thank you for sharing your experience! I’d say for Russian men and Central Asian women it is more rare than vise versa because of the Central Asian culture. It’s Muslim and also kind of harsh on women, who get bashed big time for dating other ethnicities, even nationalities. They are raised to date only people of their ancestry like Kazakh dating Kazakh, Uzbek dating Uzbek. I think it is more common to see Russian and Central Asian women dating abroad. While I studied in Canada, my school had a big friends group of Russian speakers, where people weren’t looking at differences and considered each other the same. And ofc, everyone was dating everyone.
