Plot
Karl Frederick, an American billionaire living in a mansion outside Detroit, browses the internet for a new bride. He finds Nina, a beautiful Russian woman, and invites her and her 11-year old daughter Dasha to come to America.
After the marriage, it transpires that Karl has sinister plans with Dasha. Nina has to fight for her daughter's life.[1][2][4]
Theme
The film exposes the dark side of the internet bride phenomenon.[5]
- Every year, men entice Internet brides to a foreign land, only to treat their new wives as slaves. Behind tightly closed doors, neighbors, and even police, often ignore their cries for help. It’s a huge problem that needs light to be focused on to it.[6]
In response, The Russian Bride promotes the empowerment of women (girl power).[4]
According to one reporter, the script may have been inspired by the candidacy of newly elected US president billionaire Donald Trump.[7]

Miller wrote and produced The Burning Dead. One of the executive producers is Wikisage owner Guido den Broeder, making the movie an international co-production.

Pimenova declared her continued desire to become a professional actress in an interview for Posh Kids Magazine.[10] Director Michael Ojeda, in the teaser trailer's press release:
