Men for Cheap [RUS], an article in Vremya, claims that a male escort service will soon open in Almaty, providing women with a date for hire to go to the movies, or restaurant. The reporter claims to have tried out the service and had a pleasant time, if a stressful one due to the newness of the experience.

Some commentators seem to believe that this is an April Fool’s joke but I can’t tell. The fact that the name of the company is not given is a bit suspicious of course, but that might be bad journalism. I do note that the name of the manager of the company, Svetlana Chuzhina, is also the name of a Russian actress who has an awful lot of nude scenes come up quickly when googling her name in Russian.

Any word on this dear Almatinsi? Or is it just too absurd to imagine Kazakhstani women seeking such a service?
