The State Duma linked the collapse of the USSR with the appearance of tight jeans and movies about prostitution

State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, discussing a bill to ban “propaganda of Childfree”, drew a parallel between the collapse of the USSR and the 1989 release of the movie “Interdevochka”, which tells the story of a sex worker who dreams of going abroad.

“And you look at where the destruction of the Soviet Union began. Back in the days of the CPSU Central Committee, in 1989, the movie Interdevochka came out. Everyone applauded. Lines at the movie theater. Secretaries of the Central Committee went and watched it. The result – the country was gone,” Volodin said.

The head of the public center for the protection of “traditional family values” “Ivan-chai” Elina Zhgutova, in turn, on the air of NTV expressed the opinion that the collapse of the USSR began with the spread of fashion for stylagi. “This is, excuse me, the path to LGBT! The beginning of the collapse of a great country was through the stilyags and these phenomena. Why does a man need to tighten himself up?! For women he does not become more attractive,” she noted.

Zhgutova also supported the slogan of Soviet propaganda: “If you dance jazz, tomorrow you will sell the Motherland.” “By the way, it seems to me in general that this is music for bums,” she added.
