о невидимых связях феминистского и консервативного дискурса в России:
However, this discussion shows that Russian neo-abolitionist feminists and conservative actors [police officers and legal professionals] share a great deal of reliance on the state and its monopoly on legal violence. The very idea of eradicating prostitution through the criminalization of clients implies a legitimate interference of the state on the lives of its citizens through the employment of various forms of coercion. Conservatives and neo-abolitionists alike have an ‘obsessional neurotic belief in the power of the law’ (Carline 2011: 70). Consequently, within both approaches, the state plays a role as the ultimate moral arbiter… Hence, despite the fact that neo-abolitionist feminists in Russia situate themselves in opposition to the state… there are reasons to believe that their project does not undermine, but rather supports the existing conservative and, what they themselves define as the patriarchal and anti-feminist state politics. Neo-abolitionist feminists finds themselves in a political impasse, legitimizing and reproducing the very relations of power that they aim to overcome.
