markw1962 -> Munches and groups - Russia (3/26/2007 11:14:58 AM)

I lived in the US for a long time, and after that a few years in Western Europe. Right now, I am living in Moscow (Russia). In the US, there seems to be strong BDSM community, i.e., munches, groups, people hanging out together etc. - some public/professional venues, but many private/in-home events. In Western Europe, I found public venues, but nothing private. (I'm not talking about pro-Dommes here.) In Moscow, at least so far, I have found ... nothing!
I have heard a few explanations, such as:
1. In the US, BDSM/nudity/alcohol is a grey area, so public events are restricted.
2. In Europe, the houses/apartments are small, so private events are out. (Plus getting naked and drinking alcohol can be legal in public (adult-oriented) facilities such as bars.)
3. Living in Moscow is a sado-masochistic experience - there is no need for clubs and parties. (This is a joke, for anyone who doesn't get it.)
What do you all think? (And if you know of Moscow-based groups/contacts, send them my way - quick!)
