About the history of prostitution in Yekaterinburg

[DARPA]

In today's market Yekaterinburg sex services "blossomed" at the same time with the first bandits. They intercepted in the custody of intelligence agencies priestesses of love and created an extensive network to meet the needs in carnal pleasures.

If the Soviet Union "did not have sex," and were only "Intergirl", the new Russian hotels, saunas and a point open "removal" was divided between criminal gangs. Some of the "girls" are still krysheval troops.

Today brothels are still banned. But the polynomial and Thai massage salons, men's and nightclubs just exist, although they experience periodic attacks by the police and the media. But less than a hundred years since, as prostitution in Yekaterinburg there legally, and the girls of easy virtue were counted and recorded.

If you examine the "short course in the history of Yekaterinburg prostitution", which created a few years ago, director and documentary filmmaker Andrei Titov, becomes aware that immediately after the prospectors and metallurgists have appeared in Yekaterinburg prostitutes. And the struggle for the purity of morals. Already in 1734 - just ten years ago founded the city - William de Genin issued a decree "On the trade preseknovenii female body."

The problem, however, this document is not yet decided. And, when a hundred years later, throughout the Russian empire were allowed to open brothels, prostitutes Ekaterinburg immediately came out of hiding, were registered at the medical-police committee, surrendered their passports and received a "yellow card", which stated name and last name ., sotsproiskhozhdenie, place of residence and the results of the medical examination.

Most of the fallen women were strangers. More often than not, for some reason, trade body came from a peasant Shadrinsk and Kamenska parish. But contained brothels often officers themselves widowed or retired military. Financial rationale in this business since that time have not changed much, landlords of brothels and the main income left: the girl, God forbid, if a ruble (and cheap prostitutes and called - "ruble") accrue to the snout.

There were, however, and the elite prostitutes who catered to a narrow circle of nobles and took for it, as they say in old newspapers "to five rubles - the price of a young calf." Ruble took to the client through a pimp or employees of hotels and restaurants. And at the end of the 19th century there was so popular today service: choice of a woman from the photo. Those who knew his worth, and did not disdain the ad in the newspaper. However, reported to provide services rather metaphorical "For Sale bright, soft and beautiful fabric for five rubles per yard." But who should be understood ...

Women stationed sales depending on the status and clientele. Officials removed the girls from the right side Plotinka. Merchants - on the patch, which now intersect Lenin Avenue and Karl Liebknecht. People looking for simpler pleasures of love for Vodka street from where originates Mamin-Siberian, or Malakhovskaya area, now it has become a favorite place for walks with children park Engels. There was also a single point for the Muslims, then it housed the Central Market, and now on this site are ready to implement the next ambitious project Forum Group. Some of the buildings that housed officially registered brothels, still remain.

For example, there is now "Hinkalnaya" and bar "Headquarters" (Malyshev, 39), carnal pleasures offered "Partnership Pechenkina and K". The building where the apartments Gordon's Doctor Scotch Pub (Malyshev, 56a), owned hotel "Hermitage". In addition to meetings with women of easy virtue, it is famous for the fact that in 1928, stayed here VV Mayakovsky.

The First World and became the start of a new revolution in the development of prostitution in Yekaterinburg. The city formed a company to send marching to war. And the need for female affection leaving soldiers to war spawned a proposal. Interesting and unpatriotic, but the love for the military cost more than for civilians. And this resulted in rampant flesh not only to an increase in the number of brothels, but also the number of sexually transmitted diseases: as reported by health officers, some of the prostitutes managed to serve a day up to 20 clients.

The Bolsheviks came to power, all the lists of prostitutes medical-police committee destroyed, and brothels banned. However, the first stop addiction Yekaterinburg men to love for the money failed. It is said that during the NEP, despite the criminalization of business services sales women used more than 60 percent of urban men. Most brothels were destroyed only in 1924, despite the fact that many of them were disguised as pubs and hotels. And in 1927 the first, apparently deciding that prostitution is defeated finally banned all publications on this topic in the press.

Therefore, to reconstruct the history of the Soviet quench passion residents of Sverdlovsk, can only be the memories.
