I cut and pasted Jan’s wife’s article paragraph by paragraph and came up with the following machine translated English version. I will eventually start a new thread dealing with language problems (99.9% of us?) including possible translation software solutions, but I first wanted to share Jan's wife’s article with all of you. I can read this with all of it's interpretive faults and still understand/appreciate what she is saying. If you work at it, you will too. Here it is in its computer generated entirety (i.e., I did not edit this in any way):

“About fidelity of foreign men
(it Is published for the first time on Olga Taevskoj's site "WWWoman")
I would like to express on subject matter of fidelity of men. I think, that for the beginning I should tell about myself a little. If it is brief, to me of 25 years, I from Ukraine, now live in Norway 2 years. Very much I love the husband, it is happy in a marriage(spoilage) and at all it is pleased with life here.
And now in some detail to subject matter. Here abroad the situation with man's changes very much differs from a situation in Russia or on Ukraine. As far as I know, among ours with the husband of the general(common) contacts, my Russian girlfriends on school of the Norwegian language, fellow workers and friends at school of riding, such concept as change, in comparison with Russia or Ukraine, in Norway almost otsutsvuet. I shall not undersign for all Western world though I think, that for others western staranah a situation same. I shall tell only, that man's change is not norm of life in Norway.
And in Russia or on Ukraine... Remember as at us in that song sing: " to it(him) the mistress is put on staff(state)....? " In Russia or on Ukraine if the man of something has reached(achieved) in this life if he(it) has good work, the house, the beauty - wife it IS simply NECESSARY to it(him) zaveti also the mistress. It(he) IS SIMPLY OBLIGED, and differently in eyes of the druzhkov it(he) - not the muzhik. To everyone who will try to object on this phrase, at once I shall answer, what yes, you are to some extent right, you see not nevertheless muzhiks such, there are fair and decent(considerable) husbands. But all the same, unfortunately, it is a lot of men such - dishonourable.
Here in the Western world to have the mistress is simply NOT MORALLY And NOT PRESTIGIOUSLY. It is the low status, a bottom of a society. In the company any man not begins to brag subject matters, that it(he), a pier yesterday has overslept with someone on a side(on the part of). Anybody will not approve it(him), only will condemn. That in the American soap operas show that everyone sleep with all at a time so it is simply cheap films which general(common) with a reality have no anything. Americans, Norwegians etc. value the family and the reputation. They love the wives and carry them in his arms almost literally this word (help on the house, care of children etc.) . And if who does not love the wife even respects her(it) as the woman as the wife and as mother of children. Men consider, that changing the wife, they arrive very badly, cause it(her) a huge pain. And nobody wants to hurt the close person. Many on a working table have photo of the wife and children. And any businessman respecting not begins to spoil to itself glory for the purpose of communication(in connection with) on a side(on the part of).
There are, certainly, some men here again which change to the wives. But, it is units, in the majority the losers, people which have not taken place in any way. Or some exceptions to the rules, men of this type American multimillionaire Donal'da Trampa. But again taki I repeat, that it is units in comparison with Russia and Ukraine. And that is changed here by the man only in the event that in attitudes(relations) with the wife something is not got on, something not so. Instead of for the purpose of entertainments. They also do(make) it is so disguised and secretly (find to itself the woman in quite different city etc.), that probably and itself God it is not easy for God to visit about this change.
And it is not odd, that foreign men consider Russian women jealous. It, probably, because we so have got used to changes, that somewhere at a subconscious level, that not knowing, constantly we are afraid: and suddenly it(he) to me will change? And it(he) will not change, no. If at you all vporjadke in attitudes(relations) if in family, as they say, council(on advice of) yes love, will be not not changed by it(he). Mentality at them another.
I think, that on the present properly those will understand me only devchyonki which live here which is with what to liken.
Still more many that good can tell in " protection of foreign grooms " as exists very erroneous, in my opinion, opinion, that on Russian moral ugly creatures marry only. Though also I too am not going to find fault with our men. Simply to me there was no among our men that unique for which I would like to leave in marriage. And I very much schastiva, that my life have developed how she(it) has developed. That each day I wake up of a morning kiss of the husband before it(he) leaves on work, and I am glad lifes and to this new day. That I wish also all readers of a site!!!
