A senior Russian Orthodox Church has slammed women for wearing figure-hugging clothes and full make-up, “as if they were strippers”.
Vsevolod Chaplin, the head of the synod’s department for relations between the church and society, called for a national “dress code” to tackle the issue.
“There is a problem… with people who mistake the street for a striptease,” archpriest Chaplin said, adding that women who dressed provocatively wouldn’t find decent husbands.
Human rights activist Lyudmila Alexeyeva, who heads the Moscow Helsinki Group, critisiced Chaplin’s latest comments.
“It’s all nonsense,” Alexeyeva said, “let people dress how they like. Next they’ll be telling women not to wear lipstick.”

It's high time this was addressed. Hopefully this will make it to the US as well.
