FLOURISHING SEX TRADE
Olga is one small cog in a huge transnational industry,
and Macedonia is merely a way station on a path to bondage that begins
in impoverished Eastern Europe and the chaotic states that emerged from
the collapse of the Soviet Union, and stretches to Western Europe, the
Middle East and beyond.
In Europe alone, officials estimate that more than
200,000 women and girls - one-quarter of all women trafficked globally
- are smuggled out of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet
republics each year, the bulk of whom end up working as enslaved
prostitutes. Almost half are transported to Western Europe. Roughly a
quarter end up in the United States. Human rights activists say the
numbers do not tell the full story, because most women remain silent
rather than turn to frequently corrupt authorities for help.
The trade in women: Country by country
. Albania . Bosnia and Herzegovina . Bulgaria
. Romania . Yugoslavia
The rapid rise of this sex slave trade can be traced to
the fall of the Soviet Union, where borders once heavily guarded by the
Red Army suddenly became porous and Soviet republics and Eastern
European satellites once in the Kremlin's grasp saw their industries and
subsidies collapse overnight. Millions of young women like Olga came of
age amid this economic misery. Their childhood fantasies of a better
life in the West soon became a human trafficker's golden opportunity.
MOLDOVA'S MISERY
Nowhere is this trafficking worse than it is in Moldova,
Olga's home, where experts estimate that since the fall of the Soviet
Union between 200,000 and 400,000 women have been sold into prostitution
- perhaps up to 10 percent of the female population.
The numbers are staggering, but for Liuba Revenko of the
International Organization for Migration in Moldova the bondage of the
country's young women has become routine. "Moldovans are a hybrid
population of Russians, Romanians, Jews, Ukrainians and Bulgarians,"
Revenko said. "That creates a special race of women that are beautiful
and in demand. They have no future. They are a good target for the
traffickers."
In Velesta, a town so small that the 120 Moldovan girls
working as prostitutes there make up a sizeable part of the population,
the sex slaves are rarely seen during the day. Kept under lock and key
in the back rooms of a dozen "kafane," or café-bars that double as
brothels, they are summoned by their owners when a customer arrives.
Then the girls, most in their late teens or early 20s, are paraded in
skimpy lingerie before clients who "pick us according to their tastes,"
said Irina, a Moldovan who answered a want-ad to be a waitress in Italy,
but ended up trapped in a Balkans brothel instead of working in a
restaurant in southern Sicily.

Bullshit! Walk through Nieuwmarkt in Amsterdam and see if the prostitutes
are miserable. It is an ancient profession, and a lucrative one.

they are not Russians but Turkish type...
in Russia up to 50% of population are of Muslim-Turkish ancestry (yakuts,
tartars, chechens, azeries, kazakhs, khazars www.khazaria.com etc.). The
deliberate attempt to call Rossiyans (inhabitants of Russia) RUSSIANS is a
big and misleading lie about the Russian people.
in Russia living about 150 nationalities and Russians are minority there.
