Russian female play an extremely important role in Russian history and they are the most moving images bring all the advantages of the other ethnic female together. They are elegance just like France lady but not artificial deliberately, are virtuous as German women but not limited to family, have maternal feelings similar to Italian women but not condone blindly, and they have a unique tenacity and kindness of Slavic. Women is the angel and god of protecting for men in Russian literature, who believe in Orthodox Church, so they dominated by primitive motherhood and the Orthodox doctrine on the attitude toward men. Meanwhile, Russian female are brave and self-sacrifice as men because of the hard and cold natural environment and frequent war in Russia. They are beautiful, docile, industrious, staunch and fraternity, and protect Russia by the inner spiritual and moral strength.Russian writers of the nineteenth century depicted shapes of female images with fullness of character influenced by Russian literature. The birth of female images is not only a contemplation of social reality, but also a recording of the process of growth and awakening of Russian women. Then the Russia aristocratic female images of the nineteenth century have the courage to break the shackle of social convention, pursue the freedom and love and fight for achieving self-worth. They are divided into four main types according to their survival status: type of encountering oppress and struggling to survive, type of feeling anguish and awakening and living a struggle life, type of challenging nihility and joining in the revolution and type of being independent and rational, regress and sublimate. These female images are interpreted under the ideology of feminism and existentialism, along the locus of Russian writer’s ideological transformation, and they complete rheological progress from sinking to awaking and then sublimating. The recovery of their sense of independence is because of being affected by the internal pursuit of female and external circumstance. In addition, their struggling is not only setting an example for Russian women, but also projecting the development progress of Russian men from enjoying lust, to awakening and struggle, and then joining in the revolution, at the same time, solve the problem of the developing direction of Russia in a way, and emphasize the essential function of the Russian aristocratic female images of the nineteenth century in the society.
