A furious row has erupted at the World Cup after a writer and psychologist accused Russian women of demeaning themselves by looking for sex with foreign fans.
The 32-year-old author railed against “the corruptibility of Russian young women”.
He wrote in Moskovsky Komsomolets: “Social networks are overloaded with videos where young and not quite young Russian women are behaving like overused prostitutes with low social responsibility.”
A petition posted by Cosmopolitan writer Snezhana Gribatskaya has collected more than 6,500 backers demanding apologies from the newspaper “for insulting Russian women”.
