Why is Russia teaching young girls to be tradwives? In tsarist times Russia’s aristocracy sent its daughters to finishing schools known as Institutes for Noble Maidens, where social graces and domestic skills were honed in preparation for an advantageous marriage. Similar academies are springing up around the country for the purpose of training the next generation of wives and mothers. Like their forebears these girls are taught floristry, cooking and dancing. And so too they are referred to as “noble maidens”. In the parlance of the 21st century though, a closer translation may be “tradwife”. The Traditional Education of Girls course was founded two years ago in Udmurtia, a region in central Russia, for girls aged 10 to 16. Launched in four schools around the regional capital of Izhevsk, the programme has expanded with support of local government funding to schools across Udmurtia as well as to Krasnodar, in southern Russia, and Crimea, the peninsula illegally annexed by Russia in 2014. 🔗 Tap here to read more: thetimes.com/world/europe/ar…
