«Petit futé» 2006-2007 years in the section titled "Moscow in the 25 key words" devouchka (young Russian woman) is described as "pretentiously dressed creature" and asserted that "tourists from the West are often pathetic, especially in winter when it is difficult to adapt to possible changes in temperature. The section ends as follows: "You will be very hard to protect the reputation of elegance, a heavy burden which France must bear. " I have specified, the heading in the «Petit futé» was written by a woman, and obviously intended primarily for readers of women, because they take to heart the theme of elegance.
This is a war between the elegance of French women and Russian is not new. In 1842, when Secretary of the Embassy in Paris Victor Balabin takes office, he said competition in style between the French and Russian women, and very interestingly describes it in his diary. He writes that "if the French in their recreational outfits, both simple and elegant, have a clear advantage (...), one night in the cabin and at the ball Our win in the first place, thanks to their toilets, always fresh and good taste, and secondly, some secular character, demeanor, a little smug, perhaps but the look of refined and noble. "
This assertion about the superiority of the Russian style becomes obvious to all, men or women, traveling in Russia and in Moscow today. Russia has in terms of elegance of women has no serious competitors and, of course, is not France, where for a long time and for different practical reasons, our compatriots convince us that a modern and neutral form (ie, wide jeans, sneakers and a sports jacket) more suited to urban life, though really not too sexy. French men who come to Moscow, usually pleasantly surprised to find ladies dressed very feminine, as noted in our obozrevatelnitsa «Petit futé». As for French women, they discover with amazement, and often with some jealousy that Muscovites are very elegant, despite the fact that the distance that must be overcome by foot, there are significant, and the city architecture is less favorable for walking than in French cities.
is elegance in all seasons and often surprises foreigners, there are travel in Russia. In winter, female elegance animals, furs and high heels, Muscovite, with their dignified behavior, clear and direct gaze, no doubt, have the class and flair. Distribution of fur does not suffer in Russia from this recent, so-called ecological, but also a very bourgeois bohemian fashion, invented and promoted by our Brigitte Bardot, who wants us to not wear fur in the name of animal rights. In the summer of excessive Russian undress probably has no equal, unearthly beauty of Russian women are so great, how are short mini-skirts. Foreigners are often surprised to see the extent to which Russian women can freely choose clothing without fear. It is true that Russia's carelessness in dress has no parallel in Western Europe and especially in France. Insecurity and incivility in French cities, indeed, is the main reason that many women in the West did not make the choice in favor of a sexual or attractive appearance, but very neutral and reserved.
contrast, in Russia, the lack of incivility in the streets against the scantily clad women allows them to say, any excess, as a rule, to the great joy for the men's eyes. This formula Russian womanhood is undoubtedly one of the major reasons for the success of Russian women for men all over the world, but so far this summer fashion is not approved public opinion in Russia.
Recently, one of the leading thinkers of the Orthodox Church, Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, demanded the establishment of a dress code for women in Russia, saying that "some of them confused the street from a strip club." This pamphlet against the Russian modern features, what are the micro-shorts or mini skirt, would be laughable, if not the priest added, "miniskirts provoke ethnic conflict, violence and crime from Caucasians, but also Russian. Analysis of the implications of introducing such a dress code should be associated with announced last year the chairman Committee on Interethnic Relations idea of creating a "Code of Muscovite," aimed at regulating the behavior of non-Muscovites, for their successful integration in the capital. The Code provides, inter alia, a ban on the appearance of the city in traditional dress.
This desire of the church to influence the behavior should be understood in two senses. First and foremost, as an attempt to maintain the family structure, as a guarantee of a good state of demography at the present time Expanded temptations, abortion and divorce. But especially to defuse tensions arising from the cohabitation of many people in Moscow, with various habits and mores. Archpriest announced last December that the Orthodox Church will now influence policy, acting as a guarantor of the peace coexistence and harmony between communities. As I wrote in a previous article, the fragile Russian multicultural model threatens confrontation modern and traditional worlds.
Of course, this phrase archpriest caused an uproar in the secular circles, feminist and liberal, but before all, she immediately found support from the Muslim clergy of Russia, representatives of the Jewish community in the country or the president of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov. Whatever we think individually about such an initiative against the excesses of mini-skirts, we must admit that its goals are noble, and congratulate ourselves on the religious consent, which she allowed to install on this issue.
