Gentlemen clubs in Russia are of an exceptional standard. They have big shows with showgirls being the focus of the club. Moscow, the capital, is known to have a thriving nightlife with some very luxurious nightclubs, shopping and restaurants. There is extreme wealth present in the city with the presence of oligarchs. St. Petersburg is another Russian major city with an abundance of strip clubs and money. It is very socially acceptable to be seen in the gentlemen’s clubs. Furthermore, patrons are even encouraged to be big spenders by their peers in strip clubs in Russia.
Gentlemen clubs in Russia work on the ‘Champagne system‘. Thereby, drinks and lap dances are sold by the girls and customers are expected to indulge. This is not often a huge issue in Russia. Dances normally start at around €25. However, as stated, displays of wealth are not considered vulgar compared to other European countries so this is just the starter rate. Bottles, Magnums and bigger sizes of Champagne are available for the customers to show off. Most of the clubs have nude girls doing stage shows on rotation. Dancer’s pay a house fee to the club.
The standard ranges from back street to high end, but the high end are spectacular compared to some other countries. Consequently, some venues are cabaret style with real showmanship and some amazing acts that incorporate the more traditional pole dancing, as well as aerial arts such as silks and lyras. Furthermore, clubs will go above and beyond to stand out. Some strip clubs in Russia cater for, and take care of VIPs by providing luxurious surroundings, drinks and exceptional service.
The law in Russia
In Russia, prostitution is illegal. Authorities in Moscow have made a concerted effort to empty the city of street walkers. This has forced low end prostitution out and now high end prostitution rules with girls working nightclubs, including strip clubs, and it is expensive. Some clubs in Russia have girls that offer more than a lap dance, it is at the dancer’s discretion. What happens in VIP is between the client and the girl. Generally, girls allow touching and some clubs offer erotic massage quite openly. Clients agree a price with the girl and then pay a fee for the booth/room rental to the club. Consequently, customers and dancers need to take care when visiting or applying to work in venues with no research.
