Women who are more likely to leave the FSU

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

This video was posted on another site as the type of woman from a village who is more likely to leave the FSU.

I quote:

It illustrates the all too common harsh realities of life that a young lady like this faces growing up in a Russian Village. (And keep in mind that there are thousands of villages just like this one in the FSU.)

No father or mother.
Long Russian Winters.
Lack of running water in her village which means that children need to fill their containers up at the local pump and then cart it back home on sleds.
Lack of basic infrastructure.
Poverty and Decay
Environmental Pollution.

Any thoughts?

I don't think the rest of the villagers would let her leave. She's too good to let go.

My thoughts are, are they more likely to leave Russia or the FSU or are they more likely to do what most people do in most parts of the world and move to a big city?
