What an accurate observation women are coming back to power. Masson was surprised by the fact that nowhere in Europe did women have as much power as in Russia. And it is not about the six rulers of the country during a century (starting with Princess Sophia). The basic management of the company belonged to women.

What an accurate observation women are coming back to power. Masson was surprised by the fact that nowhere in Europe did women have as much power as in Russia. And it is not about the six rulers of the country during a century (starting with Princess Sophia). The basic management of the company belonged to women.

Masson explains this phenomenon simply. The Russian man is built into the brutal Russian hierarchy, and therefore he is by nature a slave, a serf, as the system demands of a man. Slave to every superior, and finally ends with the main slave owner - the king/queen. Therefore, men in Russia are weak, weak-willed, or rather, simply victorious over someone else's will (for example, a soldier is brave, but brave at the will of a cruel officer)....

And women are removed from the hierarchy. In Russia, as in Ottomania, notes Masson, it doesn't even have a soul. That's why the bosses don't care about her - officially, her man owns her, not the state. Therefore, a Russian woman has the desire, the opportunity to perform independent actions Feminist power with the universal weakness of men has left its mark on Russian women. Masson is surprised that they do not know love and romance, and their main property is shamelessness. Not shamelessness in the offensive sense, but in the practical sense. There are no restrictions on the will of women, moral, ethical, religious. In fact, the great Russian writers saw this very well - take at least Gorky's Vasa Zheleznova ("Vasa") or, better, Chekhov's Aksinia ("Bengik") The owner, as then, was considered to be old Grigory Petrovich, but in fact everything passed into Aksinia's hands; She both sells and buys, and nothing can be done without her consent. The brick factory is working well; Because they require bricks for the train, its price has reached twenty-four rubles per thousand; Women and girls carry bricks to the station and load the cars and get a quarter of a day for it. Aksinia entered the part with the Kermins, and their factory is now called: "Kremins, Younger & Co."
