Russian Inflation Watch - Hookers Hike Rates Up To 100% Amid Crashing Currency
On the (high) heels of sanctions and oil-price-collapses, the plunge in the Russian Ruble is even impacting the oldest profession in the world as brothels begin pegging transaction fees to the dollar. As LiveLeak so eloquently reports, the cost of getting laid in Russia just became more expensive - thanks Obama!! An escort agency in the northern port of Murmansk has raised rates 30-40% (a friend told us) from the $130-per-two-hours "spending time with an employee" but it is workers in The Urals that are really suffering where sex workers have raised rates between 50 and 100%. It appears someone has crossed a red line...
Getting laid in Russia just became more expensive.
The crime of buying sexual services is becoming more expensive in Russia as prostitutes increase their rates to offset the free-falling ruble, regional media reported.
An escort agency in the northern port of Murmansk has raised prices by 30 to 40 percent, news website Flashnord.com reported.
The pre-crisis price was 3,000 to 7,000 rubles ($55 to $130 at Thursday's rate) per two hours of "spending time with an agency employee," Flashnord said Tuesday.
The price will likely be pegged to the dollar in the future, the website said. Though prostitution is illegal in Russia, the report gave the name of the alleged brothel, Madlen.
A representative of another "escort salon" named World of Sex in Murmansk was cited as saying that the enterprise "is trying to keep prices as they were, but life's getting more expensive, and girls can't work at a loss."
In the Urals, sex workers have raised prices by between 50 and 100 percent, Uralpolit.ru said Wednesday, citing unnamed clients of prostitutes.
In addition to the falling ruble, the sex tariff inflation may have been boosted by an influx of sex workers fleeing war-torn Ukraine, the website said. The new competition is forcing local sex workers to hike their rates in order to pay their bills, the report said.
The ruble has lost almost 40 percent of its value against the dollar since the start of the year due to an economic downturn.
Sex workers make up about 1 million of Russia's 142 million population, Deputy Interior Minister Igor Zubov said last year.
Prostitution is punishable with a fine of up to 2,000 rubles ($37) in Russia. Pimps face up to a decade behind bars.

$130 for 2 hours is half the price of NYC and double the price of same in Mexico. source... a coworker
Now this hike in the Russian rates is the very definition of inflation.
"brothels begin pegging transaction fees to the dollar"
A lot of that going around lately. I think we're a lot closer to having a "one world currency" than we imagine. It's going to be called "The US Dollar".
I know, I know. Not an appetizing thought but.... I mean, look around. We're the not just the tallest midget, we're damned near the only midget left. Us and our vassal states of Japan and Europe.
So an INCREASE in supply has resulted in an INCREASE in prices?
The FED has got to have a hand in this.
pods
Serious question. Can you get good blow in Russia?
we fucked some folks
don't those girls know that smoking is bad for them?
The hookers in Thailand smoke, but not with their mouths.
Hey man! You want lady boy?
No thank you.
Girls in Latin America are much cheaper. For $130, you could hire the girls sisters, mother, cousins, even the family dog, :-0
Judging from your username and avatar, I am inclined to accept your authority in this matter..
I never understood how a straight guy would want to knowingly put his dick in a chick who just had other guys dicks and come in her.
will they take some kruggerands?
As Larry Kudlow would say: King Dollar !
""brothels begin pegging transaction fees to the dollar""
Long poon.
For Kruggerands I'll service your needs.
Bob_stl, Just imagine the gay guy who would want to knowingly put his dick in a dudes ass who just had other guys dicks, cum and some shit in him.
Reverse image search indicates those are models in a posed setting from the Tyler Shields site. We want pictures of REAL hookers damn it. The picture is about a real as this one of Occupy Wall Street.

This is more what you are likely to get in the Eastern Europe / Russia area.

well that made it better...thanks
Well, while it's obvious that this one has never been anywhere close eastern europe and especially Ukraine-Russia, i wonder why he feels such a need to make a fool of himself in front of those of us who have.
I recommend streetmeatasia.com
wtf
NSFW! NSFW! NSFW!!!!!!!
We mutilated some donkeys.
there are a lot of commentators on this site need to clean up their act.
If you want freedom of speech you have to deal with freedom of speech (hint: this means even the stuff you don't like).
i wonder what kind of quality you get for $130, but 2 hours!
That puts the price of a night you'll never forget somewhere around:
1 Liter of Triple Distilled Vodka: $50
2 grams of coco kane: $150
2 girls willing to go greek: $300
1 double sided dildo: $30
1 HD video camera: $100
1 night stay in Chelyabinsk's finest: $100
I've paid more for less here on the West Coast.
Mexico: We Donkey Showed some folks
Tried once. It was so-so. The hookers dont know what the hell they are doing in russia. If you want good poonanny I would suggest Germany.
Luft Haus on Reeperbahn, Hamburg. I still remember that woman. Absolutely the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. Still to this day.
you mean Laufhaus ?
something like that. It was a long, long time ago.
The fucked up part is all those whores are practicing a more honest monetary policy than the lunatics running the show.
Ultimately we are all whores in one way or another. The only thing left to do is to determine our price.
same pussy more devaluated currency, thats inflation you can smell.
"the sex tariff inflation may have been boosted by an influx of sex workers fleeing war-torn Ukraine, the website said. The new competition is forcing local sex workers to hike their rates in order to pay their bills, the report said."
Supply up = prices up? I'm not sure they understand microeconomics.
"You can't afford me!"

priceless
We are getting fucked without the sex!
No Russia need moar hookers supply: especially from HOPEC (HOokers Production Eastern Cuntries: Ukraine) to crash the hourly price.
If there were a shortage of hard penises the excess supply might have an effect on price.
Ask any Woman you know - there is never a shortage of hard penises.
The thing about being the cleanest directy shirt in the fiat laundry basket is you still stink like hell and you're getting worse.
And then Russian guys goes to Ukraine to see more cheap whore...
You mean Tyler's "dedollarization" by Pootstain and China ain't really happening? Whodathunk?
I'm sure they'll take care of your inflation if you pay in gold. Heck, they'll even throw in a golden shower for free.
If you're stuck in the Urals, just horsey it on over to Yuriatin where Lara is givin it out for free. Just watch out for Strelnikov.
All the AIDS you can eat huh?
"If you're ever stuck in the Urals...." sounds like the opening of a very bad joke or a horrible nightmare.
"Girls can't work at a loss"
Bwahahahahaha!
translation: The pimp ain't working for less.
This is ridiculous. Marriage is looking more like a bargain every day except for the getting sex part.
Marriage is only a bargain if you purchase legal fees up front, and in bulk. And then it might just be a wash considering how much financial help your kids will need later when they don't know how to handle money after having no father around to teach them about it.
So romantic. Must be a hit with the ladies.
pods
With prostitution you aren't paying for the sex. You're paying for the clean no strings attached separation afterwards.
In fact with (modern) mariage you pay to get ass fucked by child support and divorce court.
Or you could just choose the right person to marry.
Just thinking outside the box I guess.
pods
Another blue pill mangina who believe in Santa Clauz...
Uh oh, I smell a tough guy.
I smell someone who will get burned one day :)
May or may not. I am not saying I am immune or better than anyone else.
Just that I am not tossing out the idea of a spouse for what could happen if we split up.
As it stands now, she has saved me more than I could ever pay her back for.
pods
I'm not against marriage per se, but against modern (feminist) marriage, marriage like the 1950's era is fine, but modern marriage is like shorting SP 500 at 30X leverage with the FED doing QE on it.
Western marriage law is literally a trap for us men, and women today aren't wife material unless you consider your average 30+ something "lady" who f*cked the entire football team as a potential mate. Telling to young men (like me) that modern marriage is good is purely criminal IMO.
x2..that was a blue pill comment. women can only be trusted as far as they can be thrown
sounds like you've met the wrong kind of women.
maybe ask yourself next time what makes you get involved with that kind of women, maybe set higher standards of character.
i can attest there is at least one true gem in the world.
and if there's one, there's probably others.
Haaaaaaa!!!! I love you pods, but I don't know if that is possible. I thought I had the right one myself. Next thing you know - she rings up $25K in credit debt (under just her name), complains that I am too clean around the house (I vaccuum, mop, dust once a week at most), complains I take too long for sex (a good 30-45 minute round of thrusting works fine by me), gains 50 pounds, and then fucks the married neighbor across the street. Shitty part is, if I divorce her I end up paying HER $60K a year, pay for half of her secret debt, she keeps the house, and the kids, and I'm left with shit with my Lincoln, clothing, and guitar.
I could have fucked many hookers over the past 15 years and been wayyyyyyy better off.
Man...Fuck that bitch
Gotta call you out Doc. If she racked up $25k in CC debt you should have seen that before it ever hit 4 figures. Sounds like a communication issue that festered and grew like cancer. People always see infidelity as "the" act that does it, when in fact it was years of small things that really did it.
Not like my marriage is perfect. Everyone has bumps, and we have had some big ones. And sometimes divorce is the best way forward. But to dismiss the whole idea is absurd.
Sure is nice to know that when I fall someone is there to help pick me back up.
pods
Yeah, the communication issue was indeed the problem. The credit card issue started small, was caught by me, and then slowly grew. Last I checked it was at $11K four months ago and we had a credit card burning party to celebrate her last day of debt. Went to go refinance the house a few weeks back and it jumped to $24K. I appreciate the call out though. It is what it is.
Well I had a long talk with a buddie last year who I was best man for in his wedding. He was getting divorced (his decision) and was taken to the woodshed with the separation aggreement. So I sort of know where you are coming from. Not that I know what you are going through, just why you would be bitter.
Just wouldn't discount the whole insitution. Right now you have the bad parts up front in your mind. That will pass.
pods
it's treacherous out there. read a good saying recently: "men fall in love. women make a deal". pretty much the truth
Just don't get married period, it doesn't mean what it used too. Besides that, it fucks up each persons expectations, instead of wanting to spend time with the other person, you have to spend time with them. You turn each other into a chore.
Lets Just say my last divorce with everything - legal fees and buying back half of my business I started before we EVER got married ended up costing mee around 500k. So for all you noobs thinking of getting married just remeber its about 25k to get married and $3700 a pound to get a divorce. I always tell my friends marrage is like a chinese buffet. All kinds of great dishes on display, once your hooked, all you can have is sweet and sour chicken for the rest of your life. Even if the hot pot stickers throw themselves on your plate - cant touch it, go back to your chicken. Then there is my buddy Buster whos life philosophy is " I'd rather be lonely than miserable" - smarter than most.
I feel your pain brother... you have to be crazy to marry in America on the XXI century, you should check the men go their own way site: www.mgtow.com
El wrongo! That's like telling sopmeone to pick the right slavemaster and all will be ok. Somehow I don't want my freedom dependent on the mood swings of someone else...I would like them codified into law. If you have a set of nuts in the current US tou are at risk of loosing everything you have ever worked for in a family court and that's not even mentioning children. You are thinking way inside the "blue pill" box pods.
Good luck!
Go it alone, I am not forcing anything on anyone. Sure is nice from where I sit though.
Life is easier when you have a teammate.
pods
If you've got a good one, hold on to her and count your blessings.
Just like pods. We have our ups and downs. But she's the one of the best things that ever happened to me. For 27 years.
Having a team mate, or someone to pick you up when you fall HAS NOTHING to do with legal contracts. If the woman is right, you don't need paper promises to live happily ever after. If the woman is wrong, the paper won't make it any better.
Good luck to you Pods. Like in any business or legal deal, best to hedge.
hey, where is that zerohedge guy who always knows someone who is making 27,000 an hour on some web site doing ....what...I don't know...something or other. Maybe Putin would be interested too.
He's probably these girls' pimp.
Got a margin call. the dolla is peg to the price of kitty as always
Too Boo Koo!
2 hrs? What's the 7 minute rate?
7 minutes !? How do you make it last that long ?
My coworker says $130 for 2 hours is a quarter the price of NYC. He doesn't know about the price of same in Mexico.
I pay $300 / hr for smoking hot girls in Ohio. About $160 for average girls.
Yeah a coworker. Sure we belive you. (wink wink)
Do they take Visa?
That is $1.08 per minute. Hmmm...not bad. So $3 bucks I am done. NEXT!! LOL
demand for hookers is totally elastic, every guy with at least one hand has the better option.
Sure, Buy call on whores, Is this market regulated?
Yeah but those guys with no hands are totally screwed.
Should be covered by Obamacare!
A true measure of inflation, without a doubt.
If this doesn't break Putin, nothing will...
That bill gun never gets old.
First time seeing it - very appropriate representation of QE.
Agreed. I need that. Wonder how long it will be before the gun is worth more than the money you shoot out of it.
The best is at the end when he's looking at the camera and shooting the woman.
Yeah, that's what you call the "money shot" right there.
Fed has helicopter chain gun versions on standby just waiting for the call.
You have to wait. You will be able to buy it at dollar shop with loaded real dollars.
I showed it to my husband, and told him to think of the pimp as the Federal Reserve, and the hooker as the economy.
It's the first time he has ever seemed to understand what the Fed DOES...(this stuff bores him to tears...)

That should help Russian GDP. Unfortunately, heroin gets cheaper everyday due to 4000% increase in production in Afghanistan since US/NATO invaded.
Heroin production in Afghanistan has grown by 40 times says Russian drugs tsarhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/sponsored/rbth/politics/7847007/Heroin-produc...
funny that you mention that...it was on NPR yesterday. I forgot that Russia was there to stop the heroin...didn't work out so good. Then, of course, we rush in to fill the void and I thought it was to keep the heroin out of China so Chinese shit could be made to keep Americans entertained and occupied while America goes to hell under their very noses.
Problem is Russia has a lot of hicks who do drugs, and it comes from Afghanistan and processed in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Russia is doing good to fight it in afghanistan, but needs to also fight it in these other countries as their border units are very corrupt. Fighting the drug war is almost impossible. I say Russia should seek other methods (other than legalizing it) to combat it. More schooling on it to people, no social services for those who do it, more cooperation with other transport countries, etc.
Consolidated budget is already high in terms of surplus.
China, India and the likes also have a growing drug problem. At one point, these Afghan farmers werr growing watermelons and doing well when soviet ruled....

just goes to show the CBs don't control anything----all economic policy is a producct of the streets--in other words --sex,drugs, rock and roll ---
$130 for 2 hours seems cheap. So if I only need 10 minutes then it only costs $10.83 - such a deal.
thinking too much. Its $2 a minute plus tax
Math much?
two hours? i only need about two minutes worth!
Yeah, but she might need two hours to get you there...
she's going to make $14 the hard way for two straight hours? good lord that is some diligent suckie-fuckie.
Pussy glut. Imagine that.
Inflation will deflate you.
Whore indicator....probably as good as anything else I guess.
Damn. I may be going to Moscow in February. Here I was, thinking all of this gov't monetary intervention bullshit was finally going to work to my advantage for once...
A $37.00 fine for buying a hooker. lol
That disincentive is on par with the "wrist slapping" U.S. banksters get for stealing money from the serfs.

Banksters fuck you out of your money. Leaving them fulfilled.
Hookers fuck you for your money. Leaving you fulfilled.

What will Wallstreet do now?
Well, all Russia needs to do then is legalize it (surprised they havent already on how socialist it was, and marijuana, and there will be an even greater inflow of tax revenue.
Joke aside though, those prices are cheap even for average Russian. $120 bucks? Average person makes roughly $1500 a month at a steel mill and no mortgage (have to live in stalin era condo does suck a bit unless renovated). Seeing it is mostly these kind of people who use hookers, they are getting a bargin.
Oh, note for male tourists - Unless girl looks like drug (needle) abuser, ural girls can be cleaner. Less tourists overall. Guess thats why prices are up? Ahahaha.
