"The primitive tribe and its guests.
The network is full of stories about how Russian girls literally hunt foreign fans. This is similar to the manifestation of hospitable hetaerism. Here is what Wikipedia writes about him: "Hospitable heteroterror appears at the early stages of the development of human society. Under hospitable hetaerism means the customs under which the owner offers his wife or daughter to a guest who was very popular among many primitive peoples ".
That's exactly what is happening now in Russia, with the amendment to emancipation, as a result of which women, with the tacit consent of the "master" (the state), can independently offer themselves to guests. The thing is that the Russian (as well as Soviet in the past) society is extremely patriarchal, in fact, primitive. It is hermetically sealed, like an isolated tribe, brewing for centuries in its own juice. Any guest from the outside world in the Russian remote is perceived almost as a supernatural being. Hence the frenzied interest in foreigners, the desire to serve them, enter with them in close, but better in bodily contact.
The true desire of members of the largely primitive "tribe of Russians" to surrender themselves to the surrounding world is replaced by flashy xenophobia. But the body can not be fooled. When it seems possible, many Russians triple the real hunt for visiting foreigners. And this is not just a stupid desire to jump out and get married from a disgusted "primitive paradise" into some more civilized place. This is a genuine passion for people of a different, large and bright world, behind the rotten fence of hatred that the tribal leaders of their savages.
PS.
It is no coincidence that Russian culture here is similar to Chukchi. Only that is not hypocritical and does not compensate for xenophobic complexes.
From the memoirs of Lev Druskin:.
"Who was Yurin (meaning the famous Chukchi writer Rytheu) father?.
She (Rytheu's wife) answered:.
- Who knows? They have after all the custom: the guest is everything - and the best piece, and his own wife at night.
And with hope:.
"Maybe he was even an American", - summed up Eidman.
