Russia
From Spanking Art
Russia, also called the Russian Federation, is a transcontinental country that belongs partly to Europe and partly to Asia and extends over much of northern Eurasia. Its capital and largest city is Moscow.
Russia's population is multi-ethnic and comprises about 142 million. The population density is higher in the west and south of the nation, and lower in the north and east. The biggest ethnic group are Russians (about 80%), followed by Tatars, Ukrainians, Chuvash, Chechen, Armenians and others. The country's official language is Russian throughout the nation, but there are twenty-seven other languages that have a co-official status in their regions.
Russia established worldwide power and influence from the times of the Russian Empire (1721-1917) to being the largest and leading constituent of the Soviet Union (1922-1991). The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, which was the birth of the modern Russian Federation.
[edit] Spanking in Russia
Corporal punishment has a long ancient tradition in most parts of Russia. This spans practically all areas, from judicial corporal punishment (such as whipping of convicted criminals and prisoners) to military corporal punishment (such as whipping of soldiers) and, in milder forms, corporal punishment of children in the home and in institutions such as orphanages and schools.
As in many other parts of the world, Russian culture traditionally also accepted the corporal punishment of serfs by their lords, servants by their masters and wives by their husbands.
Popular spanking implements in Russia are types of knouts, whips, birches, switches and sticks. Canes came into popularity in the late 19th century.
It was a team of Russian scientists who found scientific support for medical, therapeutic whipping in 2005.
[edit] Russian spanking art
Russia's current legislation regarding pornography seems to be more liberal in certain aspects than that of many other countries. This may be one reason why many erotic and pornographic websites that are over, on or near the edge of legality in other countries are hosted in Russia and often have .ru domain names (for example, imgsrc.ru). This includes BDSM, spanking and pedophile erotica.
A Russian spanking site is Mark Desadov's world.
