When the Cold War ended, there was not a phased transition, it was basically “here’s capitalism, figure it out” so there was an “anything goes” vibe to the place. So yeah, lots of heinous shit. Anyone with means either became oligarchs or they fled elsewhere. So a lot of poor Eastern European girls fell into the human trafficking trap.
Things have started to stabilize in the last decade, even though it’s still a problem today. Matt Taibbi and Mark Ames bragged about fucking 15 year old Russian girls in exchange for a pack of smokes; it got him into some shit a couple years ago. I’m going to guess it’s too normalized to be really controversial and might explain why birth rates are some of the lowest in the world there.
