The Love Agency

We are far away from the Internet dating world when we gain entrance to the little office where Svetlana runs her Love Agency. Men and women from Arkhangelsk, in northwest Russia, come to her with the same dream: to find a partner in life. It's never too late to fall in love, says Svetlana. But when people with different hopes and experiences are brought together, it is not easy to find the perfect match. —Martina Carlstedt
