I know an older guy who married a very beautiful and much younger Russian woman, had kids with her, and much the same thing happened to him. Except, instead of fleeing the country, she divorced him and fleeced him for alimony and child support as soon as she got her Canadian citizenship. He was incredibly naive, but perhaps should have known better, or should have thought harder about the nature of their relationship before marrying her.
