Don't have sex with men from 'different race' during World Cup, warns Russian politician

Tamara Pletnyova warns Russian women not to have sex with non-white men as their children may face discrimination

Russian women should avoid sex with non-white foreign men during the football World Cup because they could become single mothers to mixed-race children, a senior lawmaker in Moscow said on Wednesday.

Even when Russian women marry foreigners the relationships often end badly, said Tamara Pletnyova, head of parliament’s committee for families, women and children. Women are often stranded abroad or in Russia but unable to get their children back, she said.

She spoke in response to a question from a radio station about the so-called “Children of the Olympics” after the Moscow Games in 1980, a time when contraception was not widely available in the country.
The term was used during the Soviet era to describe non-white children conceived at international events after relationships between Russian women and men from Africa, Latin America, or Asia. Many of the children faced discrimination.

“We must give birth to our children. These [mixed-race] kids suffer and have suffered since Soviet times,” Pletnyova told Govorit Moskva radio station.

“It’s one thing if they’re of the same race but quite another if they’re of a different race. I’m not a nationalist, but nevertheless I know that children suffer. They are abandoned, and that’s it, they stay here with mum,” she said.

Pletnyova said she that she would like Russian citizens to get married “out of love regardless of their ethnicity”.

Another lawmaker said foreign fans could bring viruses to the World Cup and infect Russians.

In comments to Govorit Moskva radio station, Alexander Sherin also said Russians should be careful in their interactions with foreigners as they might try to circulate banned substances at the tournament.

Thousands of football fans from 31 countries are travelling to the World Cup in Russia that kicks off on Thursday with an opening ceremony in the capital followed by a match between the host team and Saudi Arabia.

Fifa and the Russia 2018 organising committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Pletynova’s remarks.

Pletnyova is a lawmaker for the KPRF Communist Party, a nominally opposition party that backs President Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin on most key issues.

Russians make up the majority ethnicity in the country but there are dozens of minority groups, as well as a large labour migrant force predominantly from Central Asia and the South Caucasus.

Russian women should avoid sex with non-white foreign men during the football World Cup because they could become single mothers to mixed-race children, a senior lawmaker in Moscow said on Wednesday.


The radio interview is mistranslated in some English sources. This is actually about transnational relationships or international marriages and she is against dating with German or English football fans regardless of their ethnicity. What she really meant was that Russian women should avoid getting into an intimate relationship with foreign fans who are not Russian citizens because it would result in the increase in single mothers as it happened after the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Foreign fathers would also take their children from Russian mothers, she warned.

The Russians were advised not to enter into an intimate relationship with foreign fans, recalling the experience of single mothers who raised their children without fathers after the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. This statement was made by Tamara Pletneva, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children Affairs.

"I would like to be married in our country for love. No matter what ethnicity, the prospective fathers would be citizens of Russia, who would build a good family, live together, give birth to children and raise them," she said in an interview with the radio station "Moscow Says."

The politician argued in her statement that after the 1980 Olympics, the number of single mothers had significantly increased in the country, whose children "subsequently suffered and suffered, even from the Soviet times."

Pletnyova argues that women often come to the State Duma because their children's fathers are citizens of other states and their children are taken away from the country.

"Then they come to my committee like this, girls cry that the child was taken away, taken away, and so on," Pletneva said.

I actually agree with her on this.
Its not about race as the article tries to claim, its about foreigners.
Even here its not uncommon to see girls who had relationships with foreigners in trips either while they were outside the country or the foreigner was in the country and if they became pregnant many end up becoming single mothers.
Specially if the relationship was with someone from the middle east, Africa, or south America. They're much more likely to be abandoned afterwords and end up with the baby with no provider and that becomes a problem. There are many institutions here to help them raise the child but nevertheless, its still not preferable.

And the children do indeed end up worse off because they're mixed race and in a single parent household.
Again, not racism as it would appear, but rather the fact that its common that a mixed race kid from a single mother household is regarded as 1- A bastard, 2- A foreigner, and 3-, to put it in a simple way, the child of a foreign filthy fuck who abused and abandoned a native girl (not my description but the common description).

If a girl wants to have a relationship, then its preferable to be with someone who is either a citizen or a resident of the country, and that applies for all of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.

I see no reason to pretend it may not be partly racial. It has only been 50-60 years ago that mixed race children in the US were discriminated against by both blacks and whites. Different nationalities are no different. The ‘different’ will always be discriminated against until they are accepted.
The idea that all discrimination must be condemned and magically disappear is unrealistic. It only disappears with interaction on a personal basis. An ideological concept of “not being a racist” is just a meaningless slogan.

Blacks in Russia is nothing new . In fact , for example , during Soviet times , a number of African-Americans , and Africans , went to live in the U.SS.R. < http://www.latimes.com/world/la-fg-c1-b ... story.html , https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/ ... -of-colour > A movie was even made to showcase such racial tolerance , called Circus , which you all can watch with English subtitles here , if you are interested .
I do feel though that most ideally parents should have the familial structure , and financial security , which a marriage provides . But I am not necessarily automatically opposed to what some might call miscegenation .
