possible.
You should give it at least 4-6 times run in a row initially and then,
if necessary, repeat the whole process every 2-3 month.

without interruption it might certainly
bring you a better result much sooner.

any other language?
A. All ads are published in Russian, but some papers can publish your ad in English. However, it is
not recommended because many ladies will not be able to read it.

forget, English is not a common language in Russia (or any other former
USSR republics) and, therefore, your ad in English may not work as
well as it might work in Russian.

me?

ads by yourself or if you use our ad posting service.

papers which is an extremely time consuming process. It is really hard
to locate all those papers, especially, if you can't read Russian.

your personal ad for free so you can submit your ads from one convenient

you can assured that your ad follows the submission rules and is

A. Of course, but for basic translation only. Online
translators do not work with ad submission forms which are the most
important part of ad submission process.
If you want to translate your ad using translators you should keep in
mind that in many cases you can't use straight translation when it comes to ad writing.
One word in English can have several meanings in Russian and if you
prepared your ad copy with help of an automatic translator your ad
may not make any sense.

the ad submission and we meet all ad submission requirements) or other
Russian speaking interpreters for writing your ads.

posting service?
