about 5000 kilometers from moscow. ah, not far from the chinese border. it's ethnically diverse. i aliya is a native of the gear, coots. ah, well, you can dictate my attorney 2 and a half hours by plane from the chinese border and 5 hours from the capital convict . being so close to china helps us economically. as i said, that must be a long time, and they put on for aliya life here has another benefit. she's found a reliable and faithful husband here and here's the chance we tear. oh, voice of of that you're more likely to find a husband in a border region with lots of migration was now not we don't only have chinese here, but also koreans reacts and mongolians one wally. there are lots of mixed marriages

my mother in law cut out an article from a newspaper only little squiggly said, there are many chinese who come here to marry russia cuz i asked you, but almost, even though they're already married back in china, those are those questions. and then they go back to china, we either go either got an attorney, them cookie of that there was to become will douglas mckesson. i do it for the russian citizenship or to get the documents that need to set up a business that the yeah bought for you, so i took out my passport to show them i was single, single luggage in house please. i'm ready. now you didn't, it does though. the main problem is that chinese men work a lot. yes. can you call it in the evening? they go to restaurants to do business not to wait is id love is that i she kept calling me. i'm like, oh my god, boy, i told him come home, i need you how come handled? but she would. that's why are you hanging out at a restaurant on the back? i do herself though that visit we haven't. okay. i used to say what goes out her father. okay. yep. if you want me to be a russian man, i'm bring home $50000.00 roubles, and that's it. pretty well you're going. but lisa,

michael should have miss anna. but you'll, she finally understood that i was there for business, not dinner with him. i got it all done with me, but you are um ah, since our marriage aaliyah's also become a business woman. she runs a chinese restaurant in the center of air quotes. he'll want to go to media and just move the chairs back and it will be fine you. yesterday she manages some 20 russian and chinese employees. i got this is our head share. he makes traditional dishes from his province in northern china by them, but they say that the restaurant is a 2nd home to their children and their russian nanny. her husband also has his business dinners here, a large family with

a faithful husband who earns well in russia. it's the exception rather than the rule. see, gil, it's just like every go dreams of meeting. have prince charming and i found mine. he's my premium. typically what i and she's my princess aliya and june's 4th baby is due soon. despite the prejudices of russian society, aaliyah found the man of her dreams. some other young russians of flouting conventions more directly. mm. on an overnight train from moscow to some petersburg, a young couple wakes up after a night of passion. ah, should i try your hair back? mm hm. no. and soul is a blogger,

and belkora is a security guard. they've been together for a year with you're still tired. mm hm. their family would not be complete without a 3rd person irina level, but she's so tall and takes care of us like a mother by them. and so, and belkora a not a couple, but a troppo. they live a 3 way romantic relationship and described themselves as poly amorous. poly amorous relationships are a tiny minority in russia and around the world. and so lives in an apartment, in the heart of st. petersburg now,

when, according to us, of course you've got, oh yeah, i've lived here my whole life with alicia coke. now. the 100 square meter apartment has enough space for the 3 of them. and so shares this room with arena palka hasn't moved in yet. i wish her yes. blue passivity knew i sleep in the middle book of business sleeps against the wall and milk asleep on the edge of the co relationship is like a triangle where all connected to each other will could been. thus, if i melt when they kiss, because it's so beautiful via postal meters, we make love in lots of different ways. circles were broken, can answer for july. and you, does anyone have yes, i have sex with this woman. they have me and i have them another person lives here to very earth. yeah, i i'm home though. diana finally, i'm so happy to see. give me

a hug. muller did of look and saw his mother elena is in her early sixty's. now she knows about his poly amorous relationship with god. never have imagined this in your little wonder, i couldn't have imagined it either resumed shan't. where an ordinary working class family may be. this is his way of rebelling this, which you know, my rebellious days are behind me. yells can't last forever. oh yes, it can back. you must know. it's not possible for 3 people to spend the whole lives together. new people can't manage it, but 3 can. i live in you, you know, i didn't think i'm just waiting for it all to follow pass, but then you say i told you so exactly unsold. belk i and irina don't shy away from public displays of affection. but homosexuality is frowned upon in russia. and assaults are commonplace. in 2013,

so called homosexual propaganda in front of minus became a punishable offense. what can i get you guys? money and fame? just was it ok. ok, we live, how we like them and no one can stop us. we it's our choice to make the go. could you notice for yeah, interesting. i'm not afraid of being attacked, which other people are afraid of me by as they organized monthly me tops to talk about polyamory, the owner of their favorite cafe has no problem with a lifestyle over them with the dish dish. i have no problem with polyamory in reference to just their choices, local musical, they know they belong to a tiny minority. he actually wish you, since it was at 87 percent of russians are pretty mainstream young. wow. and vote for pu tenant benny glossy. looking to know that russian society is still very

conservative, but some of moscow's educated and privileged young people are fighting for more freedom and shattering old to boost like tanya, a manager of an event planning agency and krisha, a graphic designer than meeting their friends in a trendy bar to night, mom was never been here while they talk openly about sac square. i can give you my she didn't sleep at all. yeah, a little thorough. 5 hours. then we had sex again that you know, you, you want, the soviet union may be long gone, but russia is still quite prudish. tanya and her friends are an exception. a few years ago tanya launched a new event with a agency. she began organizing what she calls kinky part is here in moscow. the moscow times has called it the start of his sexual revolution. a big kinky party is

taking place in a few days. an event that created quite the boughs among moscow's young trendsetters. mm. the night before the big event grisham pays tanya. a visit. they've been together for a year. unlike most russian couples, they don't plan to move in together or get married. she's decided tanya, a business woman wants to remain independent, but them was so i'm, i'm not really and i deal russian women to this. i had a phase when i tried to cook traditional dishes like bush la. yup. and you, i said that i realized pretty quickly that wasn't for me. jenny, how do you cope with not having an ideal traditional russian woman courtesy headed to the saw. it doesn't get better than these frozen dinners. 66 percent of russian

women walk outside the home. so tanya is no exception. grisham, on the other hand is no ordinary russian man. my uncle, this? yeah, sure. bush, no, i'm not some macho guy. you. i was raised by strong women and studied in canada, where i became aware of issues like patriarchy, unlike most russian men, foster, ah young, who with her father grisham called tanya. something special for the party to morrow . nicholas, i bought you something. it had for me. yes. the la di lash try it on. i don't have a white collar yet. he doesn't know the de la good. no, no, yes. procedures, which oftentimes he eager. we live out of fantasy and give each other pleasure.

looked at the exquisite. unless he said so mother, she's shy, but she loves me very much. i love her very much to the leo which was in with . ready it's tanya's big day. the monthly kinky party starts in just a few hours but yeah, it's a lot, it's 50 percent. why are they sending me the list that the last minute? sure. there should be between 750 and 800 people back. it's the most people we've ever had at the kinky policy until x must come here, which is the political go to what us the party will take place in a rented loft in moscow's business district. the program will include erotic shows, a dance floor and small private corners for couples. with tickets costing the equivalent of 80 euros. this party is only for the wealthy and the margin

grandma, can we pull that to parts a little bit more voice and it's all wrinkled in. so i'd be afraid to hang on to that. are you sure? is it? yeah, yeah, sure. it doesn't matter if the guests are poly, amorous, heterosexual or homosexual. the polity attracts young people from moscow and beyond . any one who's happy to flout rushes, strict traditions come on. here's the s n m area with the latex beds. this is our hospital where you can play out or your medical fetish fantasies there with me. yes or so, and i'm not a lot of this is much better to me. you can chill on the balcony on board to this message. i'm working with one of them doesn't okay, we're open. the event is completely legal

bought. there are strict rules, no photos, and each new participant must be interviewed beforehand on skype. the security measures are designed to keep out extremists and prevent sexual blackmail. but this show is like a homage to love. oh, it's great. these events help us liberate ourselves and feel good for you. but i wonder if they'll actually change anything in russian society. it's primarily the privilege to enjoy these evenings of freedom elsewhere. many russian women, a still bound by patriarchy, and off, become victims of violence. ah, a russian proverb says that if your husband beats you, it's only because he loves you. many men have taken these words to heart

when ah irina petra cova is a survivor? ah! if to be a little fish will stay here for tomorrow you have school. do you have a lot of homework? ah oh down if you oh, the motion of flesh upgrades. yeah. you know play. i'll tie up the dog. sit. okay. the shower. i think the dog is here to protect is a ppo provider. oh, god forbid, something should happen to us in it, but she had big problems with my ex husband about quarter after we moved out he sent over to a to use it. no dry bought his dog when i realized that the police wouldn't help me

. but it's in boy, i think i keep this for years. arena suffered violence at the hand of her husband, even the in front of her children. her son was 5. when she called it quits. i'm like jacking. i still remember how we were going to leave. ah, ah, died oh my memory, i chose the best he hit my mother. he wanted the keys to our new apartment. lotta and i were in our beds and heard everything now kind of lecture me sure it doesn't show irina and her children have already moved 4 times to escape a violent acts to day they live in this 20 square meta apartment, this much much could he have mass, i'm work. oh gee, and russian,

when no flames much quinn did math, everything seemed fine in 2000. and 6, irina and alexi had been together 3 years before they married. but when irina was 5 months pregnant, he beat her for the 1st time. after that had happened regularly, she endured the violence for 6 years. miss yell does not look at the big bruise on my face. she stuck scope until gra. daryl so alden, bruised is on my neck. maria, i managed to escape to the neighbors just in time. i see a figure shop and then i called the police. the neighbors didn't want to get involved and promotional doctors found lesions, bruises and a concussion. but even this evidence wasn't enough to convince the police irina filed a complaint 8 times to no avail. when her husband began beating the children, she decided to leave. she's been divorced since 2016. alexei was never brought to

justice. said, flashing, oops, nations believe if he beats you. he loves you a question. she de leon that the husband can just do whatever he wants to try are women a worthless. but he was supposed to be subservient. jason boshamp, when she gets in russia perpetrators like irina's husband, a rally, prosecuted in 2017. the russian parliament passed a law de criminalizing domestic violence, only acts of violence resulting in hospitalization, are considered a crime. in vladimir putin ruling party, only m p. oksana pushkin, or opposed the new law. this is kizzy. nick. i'm with the glove. yes, it's a tragedy. it the law allows men to be there. why,

why the fuck discount. now all they have to do is pay a fine at me, which has taken out of their joint account guys avoid agenda women. think a 100 times before their report, anything to the police asked by don't wish to leave. let the meaning is avery edge by leads. members of the orthodox church, often nautica for her views. would they keep his company hoarded? bus thorbe was slipping his harlem and gets up to 150 letters like this each day. i'm a bush can lose. can you check up on that amount that i be removed from the committee? yep. i'll get with them when you need it scares me to think way. we as a nation are heading. yeah. you had show her asana. pushkin a remains determined to fight discrimination against women. in from moscow we had back to far in the southern urals, victims of domestic violence throughout russia. visit this to to studio. they hoped
