No shortage of Ukrainian "Mail Order Brides" and other human trafficking victims, either. And for all the same reasons.
Lots of women came out of the Eastern Bloc in the 80s and 90s as "Models". Hell, that was Melania Trump's road to the First Lady post. She'd spent her entire youth in Yugoslavia, starting modeling work at 5 years old and continuing until she was able to leverage her career into a path to US Citizenship through marriage. Western exploitation of the old Soviet States was heavily focused on sex tourism and sex trafficking, and still is to this day.
