Having spent some months in Turkey I feel like I should add my 2cents on the topic.
The number of marriages between Turks and Russian is higher than you may suspect.
I heard many time, both from girls and boys that: "Russian girls love Turkish man".
Thing is this may be not true in Ukraine or Russia mainland because they probably feel the social stigma of dating non-European man, but this doesn't apply in Turkey.
When slavic girls hit the beach resorts of Antalya, Bodrum, Kemer, Izmir and Alanya they often have some kind of relations with the locals, that often use super-direct game and compliment them a lot.
In Istanbul it's the same, there is a number of Russians/Ukranian girls that found local men as boyfriends, sponsors or husbands.
This is to say that I don't think slavic girls don't like the middle eastern/turkish guys per se', but they probably shut them down because of social pressure or poor game and looks.

I think it is a case of not shitting on one's doorstep. I have found that with Irish girls too with the stigma there. They would not be seen with darker men in Ireland in case of what her family/neighbours would think or say but when they go abroad, it is an entirely different story. Kamaki mentioned the high number of Russian girls (something like 200,000) who have married Turkish men having met them on holidays in Turkey. Russian and Ukrainian women do go to Turkey and many do get smashed by the locals. However that does not happen to the same extent in Russia. Even myself (white Irish) have been on the receiving end of comments from locals having been with their women.
