These women were used mostly as currency, and had high value. Needless to say, after all was said and done, these women were bred quite heartily.

To this day, that area (Ukraine, western Russia) has a gene pool of extraordinarily beautiful women.

I believe I saw an old mainstream movie about this once, if I'm not mistaken. I have no idea what it was called. But a scene that stood out to me was this rich guy who was relaxing in this fancy chair. He explained matter-of-factly how things are going to be, to this beautiful young woman standing in front of him. She was angry and hostile.

"Look. I own you now. You're my wife. We are going to have sex. Now, its either going to happen with you kicking and screaming and fighting me. And you'll be hurt in the process. Or you can accept your fate, and make love to me willingly and with dignity, as a wife to her husband."

She thought about it silently for a minute. Then let her clothes fall to the floor.
