And herein lies the conundrum Russia finds itself when it touts "Orthodox" values while ALSO maintaining Soviet nostalgia and attitudes...It's because the value systems can often merge. They say there was no sex or drugs or crazy corrupt Western notions corrupting the Soviet Union...but as we see with the abortion statistics...the numbers speak differently...And it is in fact the Soviet value system continuing to corrode at the West. Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, spent extensive time in Soviet Russia...and was greatly inspired.
That has nothing whatsoever to do with what women do here.
Totally irrelevant.
Do you think my position is that living in Russia is utopia? Far from it.
But your ‘holire-than-thou’ attitude has no basis in reality.
