Prostitution in Russia is surging in the wake of the country’s financial crisis, Russian radio RSN reports.
The number of women and men having sex for money—which is illegal in Russia—has risen by 20 percent as a result of the financial crisis that hit the country in late 2014, according to Vladimir Zazhmilin, deputy head of the campaign group Vice Squad.

This could be the headline of any year for the past 100 years.
the SADDEST prostitution story right now are the 70 and 80 year old prostitutes in South Korea.
There is no safety net to speak of and the culture of living with and taking care of parents has changed as kids are moving out.
i’m sure it’s not on the same level number wise, but heartbreaking nonetheless
I had a young married couple of Korean’s in my hospital. Early twenties. Just moved from S Korea.
She was pretty. Sweet. He was handsome. When over in Korea she had to work as a prostitute, poverty so rampant. They came here to get away from all that. She had liver cancer from venereal disease.
This is the problem with poor management of a countries wealth. Turning a blind eye. How S Korea got there is one thing but as regards our country, we’re headed there.
Spending out of control, no regards for the future of the nation.The effect it has on people, devastating.
Same as it ever was.
GREED and no love of country.
that’s a sad story you tell.
but it is going to happen here. 20 trillion?
the big companies aren’t betting on our buying anymore. they’re looking to india and china and elsewhere.
I don’t have any answers. I hope someone does.
the oligarchy has to go!!!
This is what’s listed in Wikipedia for reason for S Korea poverty. I can believe it. Scares me when I look at how our industry is sent overseas and we are hiring ones from other countries for lower wages.
“OECD listed several factors among the reasons for poverty in Korea. First, public social spending in South Korea is low.
Social spending by the government in South Korea was 7.6% of GDP in 2007, compared to the OECD average of 19%. This can be explained by the Korean traditional reliance on family and the private sector to provide such services.
Second, Korea’s dualistic labour market, in which a significant number of workers are hired only on temporary contacts with low wages and benefits, results in high inequality in wage income.”
heartbreaking.
I see corporations and the one world government have gotten rid of full time jobs there too.
my wife is temping after getting laid off in manhattan. good salary but it ends. if she doesn’t find full time work? who knows? she makes more than me.
now unemployment has a new system where they will pay you unemployment while you start up a new business. don’t like 80 percent of new businesses fail?
There are actual, female, medical doctors in Cuba who become hookers at night to support themselves because the ‘pay’ for their medical services will not support them. It is not a surprise that this is also happening in Russia.
mother russia is putting out
LOL
Some years were better or worse than others. There was an entire diaspora of “White Russians” to the Far East in the 1920s, these folks were stranded in an alien land, and when their money and jewels ran out, they resorted to every stratagem to survive. Some made it to America, they must have had some interesting stories to tell, from the Tsar’s Russia to Lenin’s Soviet Union, and escaping east just ahead of that mayhem.
Pick a generation, there were also escapees and defectors with amazing stories to tell. Such as “Alexander Dolgun, an American in the Gulag.”
There are hundreds of highly educated technical personnel layed off and looking for employment in the Houston area, and this is but the beginning. The US has become a scary place for many, Why we still allow (legal) immigration, with so many Americans out of work, is a mystery to me.

>we’re headed there.<

The thought of this possibility is deeply disturbing. What is even sadder is that the victims are always the same group — those that are the first ones to be laid off during an economic turndown.
“There are hundreds of highly educated technical personnel layed off and looking for employment in the Houston area, and this is but the beginning. The US has become a scary place for many, Why we still allow (legal) immigration, with so many Americans out of work, is a mystery to me.”
Yes, I know that. I live in Houston, too, although I am already retired.
It isn’t a mystery. Can you say, “Globalism”? The globalists want the standard of living in the USA to be closer to that of the rest of the world. In other words, they want us to become a third-world-nation so that all countries will be, more or less, ‘equal’. That is simply my opinion.
“The globalists want the standard of living in the USA to be closer to that of the rest of the world.”
Reducing our standard of living and taking away individual freedoms is the only way a One World Gov’t would look appealing and a viable answer to our problems.
Its just another step towards the goal.
