PAST the topless woman dancing in a cage and the towering transvestite perched on three-inch heels, Ksenia Borisova was trying to grab the attention of passers-by. Her wares were housed in immaculate displays, complete with colorful instruction manuals, but after five years in business she was still having difficulty generating much interest. Borisova, an owner of Erotic Fantasy, a supplier of German-made intimate equipment in Russia. Other vendors at a recent convention for sex shop owners in Moscow were similarly vexed. Two decades after government-imposed prudishness ended with the Soviet collapse, Russians still shy away from embracing European-style sexual mores. Despite a burst of licentiousness in the early s, when pornography and prostitution surged through the country, the sexual revolution has never really taken hold here.

Also, the upper story of a home or castle, often with a pitched roof. More broadly, the term is used by historians to discuss the elite social practice of female seclusion that reached its height in seventeenth-century Muscovy. Royal or noble women were not only confined to separate quarters, but were also prevented from socialization with men outside their immediate family, and were shielded from the public eye in closed carriages or heavily concealing clothing. The word is not to be confused with the Terem Palace in Moscow , an extended part of the Grand Kremlin Palace , which was not occupied exclusively by women. Between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the seclusion of aristocratic women to separate quarters became a common practice among royal and boyar families. The terem was often a cloistered apartment within a home or castle, usually on an upper story or in a separate wing, from which all contact with unrelated males was forbidden. Daughters were often born and brought up solely within the confines of the terem, where they were isolated in accordance with Orthodox teachings regarding premarital virginity. They were taught by their mothers and other female relatives to become wives, spending most of their days in prayer or needlework.
