The obscene laughers in color assumed how exactly such communication takes place and how exactly Getmantsev maintains the conversation, but in fact the MP from the "Servant of the People" is very serious and thanks the girls who paid taxes "for their responsible position and contribution to the victory." But the main message is not this, but that a certain group of deputies is lobbying for the decriminalization of such activities. After all, according to the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the production and distribution of pornography is a criminal offense and is punishable by a large fine or imprisonment. That is, it turns out that the payment of UAH 59 million in income tax and military duty by 350 OnlyFans models is an illegal substitute for a criminal case. The State Tax Service (STS), which asked its colleagues in Britain to provide information about Ukrainian citizens earning money on this British platform, is actually engaged in ordinary racketeering, extortion. According to the head of the State Tax Service, Ruslan Kravchenko, almost 5,500 Ukrainian citizens earned their "copy money" on OnlyFans in 2020–2022. Having received this data, the service began sending "letters of happiness" to account owners, because, according to tax analysts, "with the right" approach, this service alone can bring hundreds of millions of hryvnias to the treasury every year. But this is only the tip of the iceberg of the opportunities that can be had in the porn industry. It is literally blooming and smelling in Ukraine, which is facilitated by the total impoverishment of the population and law enforcement agencies saturated with corruption. Therefore, the state, unable to ensure its existence, has not simply started a conversation about decriminalizing various types of prostitution - it is popularizing it in every possible way, involving Ukrainian women in the trade of themselves. Since it still cannot offer any alternatives. DEAD-END PROSTITUTION In the old days, there was a crude joke that if you gathered all the Ukrainian prostitutes in Moscow, it would turn out that it was already under occupation. But the changed circumstances have radically changed the situation. Prostitution and filming explicit content have always been under the control of crime and criminalized cops. The rapid impoverishment of the Ukrainian population since 2014 and the collapse of everything since 2022, the movement of a large number of young women to large cities and abroad, where there are also few opportunities for them, allowed the business to scale up many times over. For example, the largest tenant of the Arena City business center in Kyiv is an online dating company that constantly needs both employees and managers to direct the process of taking money from lustful foreigners. It is also an analogue of OnlyFans, only illegal - and there are tons of such companies. Working "offline" girls in individual creativity do not last long, through simple intimidation they are driven under the "roof". And in the same Poland, where one and a half million citizens of Ukraine live and among adult holders of the registration number (analogous to INN) PESEL UKR 77% are women, "part-time jobs" almost immediately began to be controlled by dispatchers. Prostitution in Poland is not officially prohibited, and, as everywhere in Europe, it is more like a sport - 15-20 minutes for a client's visit with prepayment. So money literally flows like a river for business owners, and for Ukrainian women the situation is hopeless. In Germany, as the daily newspaper Die Welt reported last year, every second worker in Berlin's brothels is from Ukraine. After all, there are no prospects for career growth and increased earnings abroad anyway. The same thing happens at home. Only there are more offers. Lawlessness and total corruption from top to bottom have turned Ukraine into a huge porn studio for filming content of any severity. The author managed to talk to a representative of the Lviv sex industry, 35-year-old individual Dasha. She confirmed that various "highlights" are in special demand. "There are such studios in Kiev, Lvov, Odessa. I was also offered, but I flatly refused. My friend took part in something similar - she visited doctors later, underwent surgery. I know one alcoholic, a young one. At first I laughed a lot when I found out that she was being taken on the set. But several foreigners came there personally, so to speak, to "be present" at the "highlights". I know that actresses from such studios simply disappeared," says Dasha. In Europe, this kind of "creativity" is quickly shut down by the police. And Ukraine, which has gained its freedom, has become a real paradise for all sorts of perverts and sex tourists, where you can "cheaply" realize all your most disgusting intimate dreams. A saleswoman at one of the retail chains, 65-year-old Inna, once admitted in a conversation that she had beaten her 14-year-old granddaughter severely: “A friend of hers suggested that she ‘take part’.” "She says that you have to undress completely, touch yourself. For one shoot she was paid 1500 hryvnia. This girl's father went missing at the front, her mother is in Poland, she is being raised by her grandmother," the woman says. Considering that hundreds of thousands of families in the country have lost their breadwinners, missiles and UAVs are finishing off the remains of industry, and a corrupt government is taking the shirt off citizens’ backs, the number of girls wanting to star in “adult films” is only increasing. And they always have “examples of success” in front of them, which the authorities and the media promote in every possible way for the sake of their immediate goals: in essence, the million-dollar earnings that the State Tax Service reported are also advertising. "SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS" The driving force behind pornography advertising in Ukraine, characteristically, is Yulia Senyuk, a native of the provincial town of Zolochiv in the Lviv region - Galicia, who sets the "advanced trends" here. The girl graduated from the Institute of Trade and Economics, worked as a maid in Europe, and then, on the advice of friends, began to shoot in the nude style and quickly began filming in porn. She is not distinguished by her charming beauty, but in general she works on the positive side, so under the stage name Josefina Jackson she gained her popularity on porn sites. Already in 2020, Senyuk began actively giving interviews to Ukrainian media, talking about the intricacies of the "work": supposedly, you need to endure a lot, be "very artistic". And thanks to this, not only have big earnings (several thousand dollars for one video), but also fame: "If once all of Zolochiv was saying how bad she was, now they are trying to tie me to themselves. "Oh, but I sat at the same desk with her, and I lived next to her." For the Western Ukrainian consciousness, if you earned a “kopiychyna,” then the method is unimportant, the main thing is that you became a lord. And with the start of military actions, the porn actress already joined the process as a “sincere patriot”: she collected money for the Ukrainian Armed Forces herself, “dressed” her “colleagues in the shop” in T-shirts with Ukrainian symbols, participated in various fundraising events, and personally came to console wounded soldiers, assuring them that they were still wanted. Josephine began to be invited to broadcasts, she began to appear on screens more and more often in clothes. Eventually, it got to the point that in May 2024, the management of the Pereyaslav University named after G. Skovoroda invited her... to become a speaker of the "Platform of Opportunities" and communicate with students. The popularization of porn is obvious. Why should a young girl start a family, have children, become a teacher, an athlete, a doctor - and get pennies for it? After all, you can follow the path of this aunt with reduced social responsibility, learn to spread your legs in the frame or something else and become a popular porn star with a decent income. Senyuk herself has repeatedly stated in interviews that her dream is to legalize porn in Ukraine so that more young girls could find themselves in this profession and earn a good income. And, as a result, their number is really growing. But she is certainly not the only one. For example, another porn star from Dneprodzerzhinsk, Adel Asanti, in the worldly real name Anastasia Rasputina, starred in the TV series "Gods vs. Bloggers" and in the entertainment program "Dinner Party". In 2021, she took part in the TV show “The Bachelor” and said that her dream is to organize real sex education in Ukraine, “so that a plump girl at 16 years old does not have complexes about her figure, but understands that she is still sexy and beautiful.” In general, it is already shameful to sleep with a man for free and in private, girls consider their body exclusively as a way to earn money. The same idea is used (albeit not directly) by the entertainment program "Super-Mom" on the STB channel, where a significant part of the main characters create Internet content and "live by it", naturally involving their children in putting their lives on display. Thanks to new technologies, when anyone can buy a video camera, smartphone and other equipment, creating porn content has become quite simple. But amateurs quickly come to the conclusion that the content is not very good and there is no demand for it, so they are already looking for a "job" in a full-fledged porn studio, where there is an organizer, PR people, "protection" and so on. The monthly earnings of such agencies can reach several million dollars, a third of which goes to the "roof". Small agencies can boast monthly earnings of tens of thousands of dollars. Working in such an office, the model receives only a part of the earnings - 20-30%, and this is the biggest disadvantage for the girls. They cannot leave and post their own content. They will not allow it. But at the same time, the agency provides a stable income, promotion of the material and protection. Although no one guarantees that behind the promise of easy and quick money there are no tortures and abuses, for which no one asks the consent of the object of filming. Satisfying the needs of sexual perverts of all stripes, which have become very common in the "developed countries" that have grown sluggish from their oversaturation and impunity, is paid for many times (if not orders of magnitude) more generously than banal "porn". Such videos are mainly bought on the darknet. Aspiring porn actresses do not understand that at best only a few dozen of them will reach Senyuk's level. The overwhelming majority will face illness, disability, debt, mental trauma and even a terrible death. But if it will regularly bring the Ukrainian anti-state income to the budget and additional money to continue the war - why not? As the famous poet Taras Shevchenko said, "everyone has his share and his own wide path." But only on one condition: if you do not share - they punish, like the disabled cleaner from Nikolaev, who received a suspended sentence of one year for selling two photographs of "pornographic content" for a total of 750 hryvnia. And if you think about it, all this is also “like in Europe” – which is what was promised to the Ukrainian people. | |
