Police and prisons beauty pageants in Russia

The Enforcement and penal system finally have become a part of everyday life in Russia. They are now cultivating image of “warm and cozy” family home. For example, throughout the regions the Interior Ministry and the Federal Penitentiary hold beauty contests, which represented police women and criminal-minded women as the example of eternal femininity.
Even 10 years ago the guardians and executioners were considered a special class, and opposed themselves to the rest of the Russians. Today, it seems, that status belongs only to the “Order of the Sword” – the FSB, as well as the new super organization – Investigative Committee, and all other security services the government is trying to present as flesh and blood of all people. One of the ways to “humanize” the guardians and executioners – the ubiquitous beauty contest among the servants of these departments.

The trend started in 2010, at the height of President Medvedev. Starting this year, the prosecutor’s office, Ministry of Internal Affairs, FPS, MES as if competed with each other to see who in his department will hold more beauty contests. At first, they were at the level of regional units, but quickly new fashion spread to the grassroots structure of departments – in separate detention facility, colonies, police department and police department. Since 2012 the “humanization” got even to the male part of the law enforcement agencies – Mister.. contests also were held.

The government divided the enforcement and punitive bodies into two groups. The first “humanized”, is trying to present itself as a part of the autochthonous Russia, they hold the reform (Medvedev’s reform of the Interior Ministry and the Federal Penitentiary Service). Second – how to stands over all over Russia and other security agencies, effectively becoming the “new Russian nobility” (the term of the former head of the Federal Security Service Nikolai Patrushev) – it’s Investigative Committee and the FSB.
