FÊTE DE LA FEMME

International Women's Day is well attended in Russia. As an institution on the Soviet calendar, this celebration confirmed the equal rights of men and women in the Soviet homeland. Even if it was very relative in fact. It is customary to invite your sweetheart to a restaurant, to split a beautifully turned compliment, to participate in household chores and, above all, to offer flowers to all the women in your immediate circle. Gentlemen, if you show no attention that day, your career as a Don Juan or as an ideal son-in-law will be over.
