Legendary Karl Lagerfeld has recently gave intervoew for February issue of Voque Russia. As usually very quick answerer and excellent debater Karl went into discussing his new Pirelli calendar, photography, technology and Russia. He has lots of good memories of Russia since his last visit some two years ago. Being native German, Karl is never intimidated by cold Russian winter and does not have a problem with a lot of snow.
He however does have a problem with Russian men. As much good as it could be said about Russian women, many of whom were Chanel models, the opposite impression is about men. According to Karl, Russian men are rude and ugly. Karl said that he does not understand Russian women for choosing to be with Russian men and if he would live in Russia as a women, he would turn into becoming lesbian.
While being funny and cute, Karl is right. Russian men are know to have no respect and honor to their wives. Of course, things get even more messy when men start to drink, and in Russia, staggering 30% of men have a serious alcohol problem, often turning violent on their wives and kids. Women, in their turn look after themselves into old age. From psychological standpoint, this is because deep inside they make themselves beautiful to find better men.
It is quite respectful to bring up the problem on Karl's end and say something in defense of Russian legends such as Natalia Vodianova and Daria Werbowy, who are among top 10 highest paid models in the world. As world getting global and certain countries are struggling with lack of female population, perhaps Russian men will give it a second thought and start treating their women as ladies. Bravo Karl!
It is so sad to know that Russian men do not know how to respect and honor their Russian brides. Men should give respect to women and know how to cherish them because what is the purpose of settling down with your partner when there is no respect in the relationship.
