For whatever reason they come over, most have certain expectations of American men. Though as someone pointed out, for some, it's easier and preferable to go with men from their own culture.
BTW, OP, they're not all stereotypically nice, docile, etc. Some may fake it well. But generally, you need a reality check.
So let met get it straight - you meet all these "wonderful girls" from Russia in the US colleges, yet you don't try to date them?
I do try to date them, I am just busy with school and I haven't got the chance to ask one out yet.

I mean the minute they get it, they lose all their charm and attraction or what's the deal?
I do not mind their acquired American accent at all. Truly I do not mind at all! They have just as much charm, attraction and beauty as they did before. The brown haired blue eyed Russian girls that look like the actress Yuliya Snigir are my favorite!

Ha! I'll make sure to do that when I get the chance. I need to upload recent pics of me to my computer that is. The ones are old!
Just something I've come across.
I've lived in Kyrgyzstan for 3 years. When I first moved there, I had a Russian lady show me apartments. She was divorced and very attractive. With-in 15 minutes she was asking me if I knew a single American so she could marry them and move there.
I knew her the whole time I was there and she kept asking me that. I often asked her why not a Russian guy, but she just wanted an American so she could move there for a better life. It seems that it didn't matter if she fell in love with them or not. Also she said that Russian guys seemed to be heavy drinkers and didn't want to work like Americans.
Just my experience.
BTW, OP, they're not all stereotypically nice, docile, etc.
Docile? Oh no, I do not think so. Russian proverb: husband is a head, wife is a neck. Neck indicates where the head should look.
Perhaps wife will be docile in public (her husband should look smart, strong and other men's nonsense), but she will eat all brain at home. And if she could not affect the husband enough, she will be disappointed and will leave to another man (more often). Most Russian men - is henpecked. But in exchange, Russian woman always will support her husband and goes behind him even in Siberia.

70 years of the socialist "the government pretends to pay us, so we pretend to work" ethos die hard. However, I've seen Russians who were in business for themselves, work incredibly hard.
And btw, Russian women don't want to work hard like Americans, either.

I disagree. My second wife was no slouch, when she first came here she was cleaning rooms at a HOJO and her efforts concerning our home and the rearing of our daughters was herculean to say the least. I know more that are just as capable. Not even her biological daughter is that way and has done well for herself despite the adversity she has faced as a single mother.
Maybe there's a generational difference here?
I do know Russian women seem to be more family oriented and that's sure not a bad thing.
To address the OP I think that in todays climate there's a lot of foolishness going on and it's not just Russian women doing it.

I've definitely noticed a generational difference, in Russia, in the relationship to work. So....yes, probably.

In what form? Have they bought into the time=money rule? I still see the women of this world building nests, they require certain things in order to do that, a reliable mate is paramount. Are they seeing that it is becoming harder to find that in this world and becoming more self reliant?

My ex was above all duty oriented. We did our roles in the family with little fuss and confusion but she could be persistent and stubborn as a mule. When you combine that with a sense of entitlement, there's only going to be one ending. In public she wasn't docile either. I never had to fight any of the few battles she ever got into.
