Is it true that Prostitution is legal in Russia?
No. A reference entry states directly that prostitution is illegal in Russia and punishable by fines, with organizing it carrying prison terms. Several peer-reviewed articles treat prostitution as an administrative offense and discuss legalization only as a future prospect.
