PROSTITUTION (MORAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECT)
Prostitution as a phenomenon is analyzed in the article. The consideration is given to its moral-and-economic nature and anti-social essence. It is presented as corrosion, disease of an unhealthy society yet at the same time as its constant companion. The author studies the problem in historical retrospective view, from the philosophical and legal perspectives. He considers the situation in pre-revolutionary Russia (1917.) and in the years of war, under the conditions of crisis and change of epochs, against the background of contemporary transformations. In his work the pain in the heart for the destiny of his country, for the moral purity of his Motherland, for the future our children and grandchildren can be felt. Of particular concern are the pages of the article where child prostitution is referred to. This is a terrible grief and irreparable misfortune of present-day Russia. And it is no coincidence that the leadership of the state, President V.V. Putin are doing and have done a lot, including in the current year, on the issues of fight against pedophilia. However, the problem remains very relevant and overarching. It requires more and more new efforts of the state, the public, the entire civil community in order to be solved. Not all of them can be agreed on by the journal editorial board. But another is indisputable. The problem is not to be suppressed, it should be solved, the sooner the better. In order to solve it non-traditional options should be involved as well.
