To wipe out the rising tide of extremism in Russia, the mayor of Vorkuta has pitched for making prostitution legal, as he believes it would offer men a chance to release their pent up frustrations sexually instead of racial acts of violence.

Russia has recently seen a sharp rise in violent crimes committed by racist extremists, and hence, mayor Igor Shpektor has called for legalizing hookers, as he is convinced that prostitution would give men another way to spend their time rather than getting involved in racist attacks.

"Legalizing prostitution would give men an opportunity within the law to address their emotions sexually with a provided service rather than expressing them in the form of xenophobia and extremism," Ananova quoted the mayor, as saying.

"All the women providing the service would of course receive full state protection and a full pension," he added. (ANI)
