These women – and Tereshkova is undoubtedly among them – were shocked by the changes they saw before them. Indeed, probably more horrifying to them than the collapse of the Soviet regime was the rampant prostitution of daily life, for it negated the meaning of Russia and of Russian womanhood.
捷列什科娃无疑是这些妇女中的其中一员。她们惊讶于在她们眼前发生的变化。确实，对于她们来说可能比苏联解体还要惊人的东西是日常生活中卖淫猖獗，因为这否定了俄罗斯和俄罗斯妇女的意义。
