RUSSIA
GENERAL INFORMATION
About Girls
Years of isolation from the rest of the world and the dominant male chauvinism at
home have made Russian women very
submissive and docile. The persisting low standards of living in the current Russia
maintain the low status situation for Russian
women. For a young Russian girl the main goal in life is
to get married. If by the age of 24 she has not found a husband she will
be considered as having some defects. This pressure from the society, including her
parents, to form a family starts from the age
of around 17-18. Once she has married she has to have children within a year or so to
avoid rumours that she is infertile. It is,
however, the fact of marriage rather than having a family that really matters. Even the woman who married and almost
immediately divorced has much higher status than a woman of
the same age who has never married.
The role of a Russian woman in a family is considered to be
housekeeping and care of children. It is the man who is supposed
to be the breadwinner and therefore the boss.
Russians generally have a very liberal attitude towards sex. Many years of suppression of
Christian ideology and principles and
the usual traditional values left a vacuum in the area of moral and sexual behaviour. As a
result most Russian women are
promiscuous. Many girls believe that the only way to find a
husband is to sleep with every man who is even slightly interested in
her. Most married women
are not faithful to their husbands and have regular or casual relationships outside
marriage. In many
cases however it is the husband who first starts cheating on his spouse and she will
follow in response. Rape, although
considered a crime, happens often and is rarely punished because of indifference of police
and the society on the whole. It is
also very common for an older man who has money or any relatively high position to have young mistresses.
Until a few years ago a foreigner was considered the best choice for a girl looking for a husband. After the fall of the
communism this high status of Western men has fallen somewhat as many Russian men
prospered to the Western level.
Nevertheless any Western visitor to Russia will still enjoy a lot of attention from women of all ages.
Russian women generally don’t mind strangers and street acquaintances. You can smile and
start conversation with a girl you
like practically anywhere, on the street, in public transport, nightclub, shop, etc..
However, you need to know at least some
Russian. Some girls speak basic English.
As far as physical appearance is concerned Russian women are less attractive than Western
ones. Partly this is because of a
poor standard of medical service in the country and the absence of the ‘ gym work-out’
culture. Partly it is due to the Central
Asian genes introduced in Russian population during the
occupation of Russia by Mongols during the 13-16th century.
However, there are still plenty of beauties
around. And there is quite a variety of looks, from brunettes to pure blonds with blue
eyes.
In bed Russian women are not particularly different from any other Caucasian nationality. They are quite willing to do oral sex,
but not anal. Generally they are used to hard treatment by Russian men and may be a bit
masochists. There is a fetish of force
and power in Russia, and many men say that if your girlfriend does not do what you want in
bed you should give her a slap on
the face. After that she not only will do it but will even love you more. This is
true in relation to some and is definitely true if you
deal with a Russian prostitute. They submit to force and respect powerful and strong men.
Security, safe sex, and other useful tips
Reports of crime against foreigners are on the rise. Try to be as inconspicuous as
possible. Local police (‘militsia’) do not
speak English and are not helpful. The main problem is street crime. Be wary of groups of
children who will distract your
attention and steal your belongings. Avoid walking alone at night. Do not leave your
valuables in your hotel room.
When hiring a car check who’s in it. Don’t take risks with passengers. Stick to
central areas in Moscow and do not venture
into the suburbs alone.
There have not been many AIDS cases reported in Russia. This does not mean that there are
few HIV-positive people around.
The Russian health system is not in a very good shape and the official statistics should
not be trusted. There certainly thousands
of cases reported every year of other sexual transmitted diseases, such as syphilis,
gonorrhea, etc.. Always protect yourself
with condoms for straight and anal sex.
Street prostitutes will sometimes try to rob you. They may put some drugs into your drink
and steal your valuables.
In Moscow water should be filtered or boiled, it's mandatory!
Girls can be paid in dollars or roubles. You will need roubles for most small expenses
like transport, food, etc.
MOSCOW
Moscow is certainly not for the budget sex traveller. Prices on sex have skyrocketed since
the perestroyka times and hotels
and restaurants are expensive. However, the city does offer a good choice of Caucasian
hookers including blonds and plenty of
opportunities to find girlfriends. The good thing about those Russian pros which are
controlled by pimps is that you can fuck
them hard in all holes since they are submissive and have
no protection from the local police or their pimp.
The Moscow international airport Sheremetyevo-2 is about 20 km to the north of the city
centre. There is a special airport bus
which leaves every 2 hr and costs about $1. Taxis are available but very expensive. You
have to negotiate the fare before the
trip. Drivers ask from $50 to $100 for a trip to the city centre.
We recommend that you arrange a hotel transfer with your travel agent before travelling
to Russia.
The best public transport in Moscow is the metro. You can recognize the entrance to its
stations on the street by a big red
letter M. The metro is large, fast and efficient. Trains run 6am - 1am. The fare is $0.1
(2.5-3 rubles) to travel to any station
within the metro network.. In the metro buy a magnetic stripe ticket at the kassa, then
drop it into the machine to enter train
platforms.
You will not see many taxis on the streets, however many private cars are available for
hire. Just rise your hand standing by the
traffic lane and cars will stop. Tell the driver where you want to go and negotiate the
price. You need to speak a bit of Russian
for this. As a rough guide expect to pay around $0.5-1 per km to nearby destinations
during the day, and more at night.
Accommodation
We recommend to book your hotel accommodation in advance through a travel
agent. Prices are among the highest in the
world and you will not get a good rate if you just walk into a hotel. It is OK to bring a
girl to your hotel room if you pay for
double occupancy.
The best value in town is the huge Izmaylovo hotel complex. It is located near the metro
station ‘Izmaylovski Park’ which is
only about 15 minutes train ride from the city centre. There are several restaurants and
cafes in the complex. It has a popular
disco. Single/ double rooms are $54/61 per night.
The hotel Belgrade is a good value. It is near metro station
‘Smolenskaya’ just 5 minutes ride from the city centre. There is a
restaurant in the hotel but it is cheaper and more interesting to go to one of the nearby
cafes or restaurants in Novi Arbat.
Singles/doubles are $68/88 per night.
The hotel Rossiya at 1 Moskvoretskaya naberzhnaya has over 3000
rooms. It is huge and rather ugly but overlooks the
Kremlin. There are several restaurants and cafes, and a basement disco. Singles/double are
$104/138.
The hotel Intourist is right in the centre of nightlife action
(see above), opposite Red Square. It has 540 pretty dismal rooms, a
restaurant and a bar. Singles/doubles are $110/140 per night.
The hotel Metropol at 1-4 Marx Prospekt is very ornate, opulent
and expensive. There are 400 rooms at $344 single/double
per night.
Moskva is the closest hotel to Red Square. Double rooms here are
$150. It also houses a few restaurants, bars and a casino.
