This work investigates how the Russian Imperial state attempted to regulate commercial sex and the extent to which these policies impacted the lives of lower-class women. Siobhán Hearne utilizes archival records and administrative documents to analyze the intersection of state paternalism, urban labor, and social control. The book argues that regulation was not merely a top-down imposition but a complex negotiation between police, managers, clients, and the women themselves.
