Dating a Russian Guy?

Ok, I am not trying ot sound racist by asking this question, but when one dates a Russian Exchange Student, what is the expectations in the relationship. I know, that the Russian Culture is totally different from the American Culture and I want to know what exactly is expected of a female in this culture. For instance, in some Islam cultures the male does not allow the female to be seen w/o her hijra in the presence of other males, unless they are close relatives. I just want to know what is a woman's role in Russian Society. BTW, I am in the USA, and he is an exchange student; so he is probalby not gonna adapt the the American Culture so quickly. Any incite would be extremely helpful!
