    No, I realized it was a city. I was just poking fun at you since it would have to be "bigger" than Moscow.

    If so, you must be referring to all the bones of mammoths found in Siberia. I hear that on some islands in the Berring Sea the sand on their shores is completly made up of crushed Mammoth bones.
    No, it's just a literal translation of a rather common apophthegm "Россия - родина слонов". It's a ridicule for the diffused opinion circulating among the Russians that every single best thing in the world is either made or originated from Russia.

    An even more ridicule is the mentioning of Byelorussia (= Белый (White) + Россия) being the homeland of white elephants.

    Well it is actually Беларусь derived from Белый + Русь (Rus', Ruthenia), not Russia.

    Rus' was not Russia, it was modern day Ukraine, Belarus and small part of the current Russian Federation. Anyway in the Russian language the adjectival form of Русь became to mean "Russian" Русский. In Ukrainian Руський - Ruthenian, Rus'. Російський = Russian (person, language etc.)

    Is it really so, that you think girls in Moscow dress more indecent than in other places? We dress normally

    Indecent. It basically looks like you are trying to hard all the time. Obiouvsly, if you are going to a club or party you are going to dress up to look nice / attract someone to sex you. But just to go to the shops or whatever it's not really necessary. Usually they look nice. Sometimes they look ridiculous though.

    Why is it unnecessary? I think we should always look nice and attractive When you go to the shop everybody looks and you, you can meet your friends, neighbours...otherwise how will they look at you?

    A female collegue of mine almost always comes to office wearing a new T-shirt with different notices on it. For example "100% mine" or "Made in Russia". She's realy cute slim blonde with nice breasts, so these T-shorts fit her. And she isn't going to ceduce anybody of us but to draw our attantion to her. This makes grim reality of office live much better.
    There were a couple of attempts to institute a dress code in our company but they are all failed since people just ignore dress code.

    here is a quote from here: http://www.newwoman.ru/zamuzh90.html


    Кстати, что касается уличной одежды, американцы большого внимания на нее не обращают, в отличие от нас, любящих очень нарядно и модно одеваться выходя ”на улицу” или по своим частным делам, однако, идя в продуктовый магазин или в чью-то контору в бархатной юбке или блузке с блестками, или в одежде, откровенно подчеркивающей ваши прелести, вы будете выглядеть смешно. Хотя, скорее всего, подумают, что вы идете на праздник или в бар, а сюда забежали по дороге. Одежда для работы очень зависит от места, где вы работаете, и тут вы уже не рассчитывайте на отступление от общепринятого кода. Если это дорогой магазин, то сотрудники должны одеваться в стиле магазина, если что-то связанное с искусством - одежда будет носить более смелый и современный вид, а банки, государственные службы или другие “серьезные” учреждения не позволят своим сотрудником ни прозрачных блузок, ни коротких юбок, ни голых ног без колготок, даже летом, ни ярких расцветок и кричащей бижутерии. Некоторое послабление все-таки в некоторых местах дается в пятницу. Мужчинам в этом деле, конечно, легче: костюм подходит для всего - и для ресторана, и для работы, а вот девушкам, например, одеть на семейный праздник то же самое, в чем они пошли бы в бар, и в голову не придет. Наши же секретарши, сидящие в прозрачных или с глубоким декольте блузках, вызывают неподдельное удивление у американцев, таких раскованных, по нашим понятиям, в одежде.
    Да и вряд ли наши милые женщины, любящие модно и ярко одеваться захотят тут брать пример с американок и приходить на работу в учреждение в темных костюмах с длинными юбками.

    you r right TATY, I agree with you though I'm myself from Moscow, but don't forget that this girls/ people do not see what you see, they don't understand they look sluty etc'.


    I am actually surprised to find out that Russians dress bad/sluty this days, my days in Moscow when I was a child, they seemed to dress much more decent, for instance I've never seen a woman or a young girl walking on a street or coming any place dressed in a such way that everyone could see the streps of her bra, you know what i mean?
    In my days it never happened, that would be thought as something completley unexepted, i never saw such a thing.

    I know that probably Russia get fashion trends and types of clothes, this days from over sees, so that might be expected today too in Russia, which is hard to believe.

    Here in Israel, this is a pretty common thing, of course not every woman dresses like that but, I have seen plenty of them, throughout my life here, I have seen that mostley while I was still in school. bu i still see that.

    Also what I hate to see, that they wear a bra together with some things that you're not suppoused to wear a bra with, (ecpecially when the bra is a completley different color than the cloth itself) like different kinds of elegent cloth types, like women's elegant shorts you supposed to wear with bare back or cleavages or strepless shorts, they come to work like that, and this days for some reason they also teach you that it is exepted to dress like that that it is fashionable and cool for young people. that there is nothing wrong with that.

    They don't even undrestand that you're not suppoused to wear a bra with certain types of clothing.

    Some Russian girls here take an example from them and do this too.



    I wonder if they do it today in Russia too, last time i checked they did not, but who knows...?

    It's not about morality. And I don't care about women dressing like sluts. But from what I've seen on my two trips to Russia. For every young lady who is dressed up beautifully, there is one who looks ridiculous and like a transvestite.

    And if you dress up all the time, then it's not exactly special on a special occaision.
