There are many factors like infrastructure, health care, etc. But I believe the main reason so many people are heading to America is money. The average household income in the US is $46,326 per year. The median household income in Russia is $6.395,000 rubles which is around $1,100
according to CNN. Do the math. The exchange rate today is better than it has ever been at 25 rubles to the dollar. I remember a few years ago i could get over 40 rubles to the dollar. Either way, they make less than half what the average US household makes.
I know some amazing orphanage directors who work their butts off and make the equivalent of $400 USD per month.
Plus many of the hot ladies can deceive some old horny coot into marrying them, and then they can take him for all he is worth. It happens every day.
