maybe cause russia is poorer, so theres a economical insentive? people who are better off can choose more whit the heart, and tend to choose stereotypically.

"An interesting finding to emerge from some of the research is that in developing countries women are more likely than their Western counterparts to choose jobs in the typically male field of technology because these jobs are better paid and offer better career opportunities. In the highly developed democratic countries, however, women are freer to choose what they typically prefer: work involving face to face dealings with people."
