Russia's culture is rapidly changing. In the Soviet era, they were uniformed Communist workers. Now it seems that Russia has come full circle. Check out the advertisement for ladies shoes. Here is the contrast - How a woman was portrayed on Russian TV yesterday vs today is.gd/oexzI4

Well that shoe ad is certainly more likely to get your attention and stick longer in the memory, than a typical one.

It looks like they've made it from the 40's into the early 60's.

They look very healthy to me.
As for sex objects...the advert is clearly aimed at women: they are the ones who will buy the shoes. Does that make the buyers victims or conspirators?

Toby comments.:- Some nice healthy looking Women here and with just the right amount of tan. If this is a typical example of a Russian advertisment then I am impressed. Don't know about the shoes though.

Women have always been sex objects - not just in Russia!
What's happened is that with the fall of the evil Communist regime more openness and honesty has come into play.
I don't believe that to be a feminist you have to be unfeminine!
By the way, as a fuller-figured woman I have to agree with Gibby - these ladies ARE too thin!

Would have been an awkward photo shoot.......ok....you put your head here......put your hand over here.....your leg over here..........if they weren't good friends before I bet they are now....
Maybe they went and got a hamburger after the shoot!!

Yes, and I'll bet the male photographer took great pains to position each arm and leg correctly, again and again and again and again, until he finally got it right

I don't find anything wrong with showing beautiful things. I prefer tasteful nudity.....but beauty is always going to be in the eyes of the beholder.
I believe women should have curves and be proud of them.......with that said I fuss and obsesses about my weight all the time........

Well showed that pic around the office.......none of the guys could guess what the ad was for......and even after I told them it was for shoes......they didn't remember even seeing shoes...........
Guess they didn't notice the bracelet on one of them either.......
