That's Russia's way of dealing with any serious problem. My hope is that, once the USSR generation dies off, the younger people would be more willing to have a conversation about sex, sexuality and related issues. Right now, sex ed is maybe a thing of two private schools. HIV? "Just don't do it". Those are terrifying stats, to be frank. "behind South Africa and Nigeria" - fuck! P.S. Kommersant is, to my knowledge, a respectable newspaper, but I'm no expert.and basically pretend the problem doesn't exist
