Prostitution in Russia exists – this is an absolute fact. It is not legalized although disputes on this topic occur all the time. Also prostitution, although illegal, is not hidden here so much. There are lots of obvious advertisements in newspapers and even on the Internet. Sometimes you can meet a girl in a night club or a pub and it can be very easy to schedule a meeting time and a price. Even if you pay top dollar for a sexual encounter this does not guarantee you good service or even a pleasant experience in Russia. The point, however, is that you can easily find a girl here but it's not always safe.

First of all there is the whole sexually-transmitted disease issue. Moreover, AIDS is becoming more of a concern in Russia recently: in many cases you can be denied a visa into the country if you are infected or if you don't have proof that you are not infected with the deadly disease. Aside from the large factor of diseases, soliciting sexual partners can be dangerous because the prostitute can rob you or have their violent pimp do so.

If you do decide that you need to get acquainted with the prostitution process in Russia be careful and try to make sure that everything is legitimate, even though an illegitimate business cannot really ever be legitimate. It's a good idea to use the recommendations of people you know, which have had positive experiences and can share phone numbers or addresses with you; otherwise you could be in for an unpleasant surprise.
