Strip clubs in Russia began to remain without visitors after Vladimir Putin’s September decree on mobilization, but the situation causes dissatisfaction not only among female dancers.

The situation was reported by the independent Russian channel SOTA, which last week also showed how Russia is trying to persuade migrants from the country to join the armed forces, and reported on its page Twitter by independent researcher Chris Owen.

Owen points out that Baza, another prominent Russian Telegram channel, has also previously reported that the mobilization ordered by Vladimir Putin on September 21 has disrupted the strip club market in Moscow, which now has fewer customers but more dancers looking for work. . after their partners died in the war and they were left without a source of income.

The situation is all the more atypical because the mobilization unfolded in Russia asymmetrically, it seemed to be spread in the poor provinces of the country, while big cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg were treated more leniently, so as not to provoke mass protests.

But SOTA now says the war’s consequences have turned out to be even more difficult than previously thought, particularly for strip clubs in the Russian capital, even though their footfall began to drop immediately after Vladimir Putin launched a war in Ukraine at the end of February. .

However, this situation caused discontent not only among dancers: some employees of a luxury club in Moscow report that the mobilization got rid of most customers who behaved inappropriately.

“We divide men into suitable and unsuitable. And, to be honest, those who belong to the second category are now mostly lacking. They must be fighting,” one of the dancers told SOTA.

“At the end of September and in October, guys came to us and said: “That’s it, from tomorrow we have to fight, come on, dance for us.” But in general, it became easier for us to work. The most unpleasant customers don’t have time for striptease now,” she explained.

SOTA also writes that although the income of strip clubs has decreased, in recent days their owners have been able to temporarily compensate for this due to the increase in the number of people who cross their threshold before the “traditional” visit of dancers. New Year.
