My Dad knows a great many emigres from the former Soviet Union. For twenty years he has been uniformly disparaging of the women of the last generation of the old USSR (now about age 40 and over) as cold-blooded, manipulative and lacking empathy. Even when outwardly charming. Especially the single, childless ones. I always knew abortion was all too common there but an average of six(!) per woman?!?
That has to have a totally dehumanizing effect.
so correct
