Our Mission: Connection Without Borders

We exist to give serious singles a trustworthy place to meet Slavic partners - one profile at a time, verified by real moderators, protected by transparent policies, and measured by marriages, not minutes spent scrolling. Our north star is simple: every member should leave the platform with either a meaningful relationship or a clear conscience about the people they met.

"If a feature does not help two people fall in love responsibly, we do not ship it." - Internal product principle, adopted 2020

How We Started

Four milestones that shaped the platform you use today - from a two-person Kyiv office to a ten-country verified network.

  1. 2019

    Founded in Kyiv

    Two co-founders - a software engineer from Lviv and an editor from Warsaw - launched Datingrusgirl as a reaction to the scam-heavy Slavic dating landscape. The first version was manual: every profile was personally approved by the founders before it went live.

  2. 2021

    Verification at Scale

    We introduced mandatory photo-ID matching and hired our first full-time trust & safety team. Fake-profile reports dropped 92% within a quarter, and member retention past month one jumped from 41% to 78%.

  3. 2023

    Ten-Country Coverage

    We expanded from three founding countries to ten, adding Romania, Bulgaria, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova and Belarus. Each country got its own editorial lead - a native speaker who reviews new profiles and writes the country hubs you browse today.

  4. 2026

    142K Members, 9,400+ Couples

    Today we serve 142,000+ active verified members and have documented 9,400+ couples who met through the platform. You can read a curated selection in our Success Stories.

What We Stand For

Three non-negotiable values that govern every product decision, every hire, and every policy we publish.

Radical Honesty

No dark patterns, no fake notifications, no pay-per-letter traps. Pricing is one flat monthly fee and we publish our anti-scam policy and refund rules in plain English.

Human Moderation

Every new profile is reviewed by a real person within 24 hours. Algorithms support our moderators - they never replace them. That is why our verified badge means something.

Cultural Respect

Slavic cultures are not a monolith. We hire native editors in every country we serve and review every piece of copy for stereotypes, inaccuracies and outdated ideas about Eastern European women.

The People Behind the Platform

Datingrusgirl is run by a distributed team of 34 full-time staff across Kyiv, Warsaw, Bucharest and Lisbon. We are organised into four groups: Trust & Safety (profile verification, fraud prevention, escalations), Editorial (country hubs, blog, relationship guidance), Product & Engineering (matching, chat, translation, mobile) and Member Care (multilingual support with under-four-hour response times).

We deliberately do not publish individual team photos. Our moderators review sensitive cases and our safety leads investigate romance scams - anonymity protects them and, by extension, you. What we do publish openly: our safety policy, our refund guarantee, our data-retention rules, and the editorial standards we hold every country hub to.

Independently operated and member-funded. Datingrusgirl takes no venture capital and runs no advertising campaigns targeting vulnerable audiences. Our revenue comes exclusively from member subscriptions, which is why we can afford to reject growth tactics that would compromise trust.

Want to see how that philosophy translates into the product you use every day? Our How It Works page walks through the four-step matchmaking flow, and our Success Stories page shares the couples who turned a profile view into a life together.
