Russian Girls. All over Russia, a plethora of beautiful Russian girls have sprung up. With bared midriffs and piercings, they are outwardly very like one another. In fact, there is an immense gulf dividing this throng of beauties.

The Old Russian Ways
This is a common Russian saying and it reflects the Russian way of thinking. In spite of the complete absence of women's rights in 18th-century Russia, there were five empresses of Russia who presided over the lives and deaths of their subjects. This historical paradox would recur in an inverted form with the attainment of equal rights in the 20th century, Russian women vanished from political power and from political life in general. The Bolshevik radicals who established holidays in honor of women's rights made their absence from politics a fixed tradition. There was not a woman to be found in Lenin's or Stalin's Politburo. Stalin himself tended to replace the word "woman" with the somewhat crude and common "baba."

The Rise of the Russian Woman
All over Russia, a plethora of beautiful Russian girls have sprung up. With bared midriffs and piercings, they are outwardly very like one another. In fact, there is an immense gulf dividing this throng of beauties. One group is astoundingly uneducated, their lives consist of nightclubs, concerts and narcotics. The other is just the opposite, they are highly educated and have plunged rapturously into the ocean of literature now being published in Russia, those famous books by which the world lived in the 20th century and which have only now come to Russia. These Russian girls study with merciless obstinacy, hours and hours every day. Each knows several languages, in spite of their youth, they have already visited the great capitals of Europe, as if realizing the dream of their grandmothers and grandfathers.
