the gold digger academy TO FIND BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND IN RUSSIa
Bitch school in etiquette class
The tittle sounds like a joke…but it is not! There is an actual educational institution that teaches women how to find billionaires to marry in Russia!
With the title, you would think there is only one, but actually there are many, and they have many names, for now we will use the term "Geisha Schools". This is a term that refers to specific institutions in Russia that allegedly target women aspiring to form relationships with wealthy individuals and billionaires.
These schools teach tactics and strategies centered on attracting and retaining the attention of affluent partners.
Critics highlight how these institutions prioritize financial gain and social status, potentially overshadowing the significance of emotional connection and mutual respect in relationships.
Now guys, what you are reading is a real thing and I went on a mission to do all the research for you. But first, let me explain you why I am writing about this and what is my exposure to Russian Culture.
I spent a summer in Russia, in the city of Obninsk, not very far from Moscow, just a short hour's train ride away. That's about 110 kilometers (or 68 miles) southwest of the bustling Russian capital of Moscow…
The old Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant is today a Museum
What is Obninsk known for, you ask? Well, it's got some serious science credentials. This city earned its stripes as a science hub, thanks to its claim to fame as the first-ever nuclear power plant in the world after the II World War.
They called it "Laboratory V," built back in 1954 by the Scientific Research Institute. I must say that the vibe of the city is still weird with all those soviet buildings.

Now, you might be scratching your head, wondering why on earth I ended up there. You might even be picturing some secret agent gig from my past. I was actually working as an English assistant in a swanky summer camp called “Dubravushka”, catering to the elite Russian kiddos of Moscow and surroundings.
Let me tell you, that summer was an absolute fun! I learnt a lot about the Russian culture, picking up enough of the language to make my way around, although I have to admit, mastering Russian was a tougher nut to crack than German.
Picture this: me, trying to decipher those tongue-twisting station names while booking train rides on those all-Russian language transportation websites. My escapades to Moscow on the weekend and my visit to other cities in Russia after my program were quite a challenge…
Metro Stations in Moscow look like museums
What about my American pals/colleagues there? They didn't budge from their comfort zones. The idea of navigating the Cyrillic alphabet scared them off big time. In fact many of them didn’t go out because they were afraid of the Russian world… Me? Well, I got lost countless times strolling through Obninsk, and don't get me started on those moments on the buses with the driver not understanding a word I said…
I even got kicked out from a pharmacy once, purely because they did not understand what I was asking for and they thought I was American, and apparently, even until today they do not like them because of history… Cold War…

My young years hahaha…I had 2 strong vodkas and I was tipsy already…
There are many places where black people are not allow to come in… We met an African American that was not allowed to get into many of the pubs in Obninsk. I took this pic in the entrance of this pub…
One day I was explaining to the the camp director my drama not being understood, and she suggested I switch to speaking French in the city. God bless that woman! Russians, it turns out, hold French culture in high regard. So, even though their French were as little as their English, they treated me differently and were incredibly helpful.
I met many babushkas (grandmothers) walking around in Obninsk. In the countryside, people are more conservative and they cover the hair in public.
From that day on, I ditched the English requests for directions on the streets and switched to my French charm language skills. I even tried to use Spanish and I realized the only thing they knew about Latin America was Chavez and his intervention on TV saying he had diarrhea … apparently this was shown on Russian tv and Russian people found that extremely hilarious…
“ I had so much pain, a terrible diarrhea. I am a human being just like you. Sometimes people forget about this” Chavez, ex dictator of Venezuela, shown in Russian tv.
Alright, buckle up folks, let's dive into the juicy stuff. Here's how it all went down: one day at the summer camp, I found myself with some free time and an invite to join a dance class.
Little did I expect to be greeted by a dancing instructor dressed in what I can only describe as a questionable silk baby doll get-up…Yep, you guessed it, I couldn't resist snapping a quick picture.
And that's when it hit me. I was intrigued by this side of Russian culture, specially the behaviour of the women. Now, before we proceed, let's just make one thing clear, if you're Russian, no hard feelings, okay? It's all in good fun!
The more I delved into Russian culture, the more captivated I became. Every weekend, my escapades to Moscow were filled with reunions with old friends I met during my time in Europe, each conversation made me fascinated for the intricacies of the culture.
Amidst the laughter and camaraderie, one topic that piqued my curiosity was the infamous "Bitch schools." It was then that I resolved to dive headfirst into researching this intriguing phenomenon, I wanted to understand the dynamics at play…
Believe it or not, the love for money today is coming from communist…so let’s dig into some history, I promise It will be short….
The emergence of materialism and a profound love for wealth in Russia can be traced back to the period following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
The dissolution of the communist regime marked a significant shift in the country's economic and social landscape, introducing a new era of capitalism and market-oriented policies.
with the arise of freedom and opportunities, there was a palpable desire for personal wealth and financial prosperity, a stark contrast to the previously enforced egalitarian principles of the communist era.
As the nation transitioned to a market economy, the pursuit of material possessions became synonymous with success and social status, fostering a culture where financial achievements became a primary measure of one's worth and standing in society.
Furthermore, the introduction of market reforms brought with it a burgeoning consumer culture, with an influx of foreign goods and commodities previously inaccessible during the Soviet era.
This new Western consumerism, coupled with the aspiration for a higher standard of living, fueled a growing fascination with material possessions and an eagerness to acquire symbols of affluence.
The shift in societal values from collectivism to individualism, accompanied by the newfound emphasis on personal success and wealth accumulation, laid the groundwork for a materialistic culture that continues to shape contemporary Russian society.
Today, it's no secret that the mindset among Russian women today often revolves around the idea of marrying into wealth, regardless of the suitor's age, appearance, or even his treatment towards them.
The prevailing belief instilled by mothers is clear: the paramount quality in a man is his ability to provide. This singular criterion reigns supreme, shaping the outlook of countless women and fostering an environment of intense competition and the high demand for wealthy partners continues to soar.
It's in this context that these notorious institutions have emerged. They have different names: "bitch schools”, "Gold digger academies”, "Geisha Schools” or "How to be a real woman school” and they are solving the demand for education on how to secure a billionaire husband.
Get ready, what is coming is spicy and also funny hahahah, we will analyze this phenomenon and uncover the truths behind this curious cultural dynamic.

When have this phenomenon started? In the early 2000's.
The set up for the etiquette class in a Gold Digger Academy
Because I know you are all curious!! I have transcript chunks of the different classes….this is insane hahahaha check it out:
“Never wear jewelry on a first date, the man should think you’re poor. Make him want to buy you jewelry. Arrive in a broken-down car: make him want to buy you a smarter one.”
“Squeeze your vagina muscles. Yes, your vaginal muscles. This will make your pupils dilate, making you more attractive”
“Business theory teaches us one important lesson, always thoroughly research the desires of the consumer. Apply this principle when you search for a rich man. On a first date there’s one key rule: never talk about yourself. Listen to him. Find him fascinating. Find out his desires. Study his hobbies; then change yourself accordingly.”
“Go to an expensive area of town,” continues the instructress. “Stand with a map and pretend you are lost. A wealthy man might approach to help.”
“Finding a sugar daddy is a craft, a profession”
Crazy huh? Now let's check out what the students say so you can understand the mindset of these women. I am also going to share the testimonies when they graduate…
“I don’t understand the whole thing of working 24-7 in some office. It’s humiliating having to work like that, why should a woman kill herself at a job? That’s a man’s role”
“A basic Moscow mistress rate comes complete with $4000 a month. This includes a brand new apartment, and holidays twice per year in the Middle East. That is more than enough to live in Moscow that is such an expensive city”
“My 15 year old daughter is a pretty girl, but there is still a lot of competition these days. I need to get her confident with boys and get what she wants, thats why i registered her in the academy"
This generation is so lost folks… its funny but also this is very sad…
I mean where are the values of a 20 year old girl that her only desire in life is to be the mistress or a sugar baby of a 50 year old married man? Is there any moral left in this society? I am honestly frustrated…
Where are the values of a woman that learnt how to be completely emotionally detached from a man that only gives her material things and expensive gifts? Did you know that this sugar daddy culture only last a maximum of 3 years until the sugar daddy gets bored and find another younger lady?
This is the result of an orphaned generation of high heeled girls looking for a father as much as a sugar daddy…
Seriously… where is this world going?
Negotiating your values for jewelry, a designer bag or even a car? Where is the woman’s dignity?
When did the society made sex and relationships a transactional activity prioritizing material wealth, superficiality and social status over genuine emotional connections and mutual respect?
Let me get this clear, being a sugar baby is not a job, and being a mistress neither. It is a very denigrating activity, you are being objectified. Know your worth. If you never had a father go to therapy so you can deal with your daddy issues.
And when it comes marriage, let me tell you that marrying someone is one of the most important decisions of your life…
Sorry, I got excited giving advice you did not ask for… but let me say the last few things…
There are other things more important than money that should be present in a relationship: such as love, honesty, respect, care, trust, commitment, compassion, affection, integrity, adaptability, flexibility, appreciation, empathy, communication, support, intelligence, wisdom, perseverance…
Keep you values, don't let yourself be dazzled by material things, don't be basic! What is inside of a person is more valuable than what is seen on the outside…
Thank you for reading…
