We're heading into a liberal sewer and Russia is trying to elevate it's society to a higher state:
Yet another article and some more photos here:
The Russian Empire had a total of 12 Institutes for Noble Maidens in different cities, including far-off Siberia (Irkutsk), the Urals (Orenburg), and present-day eastern Ukraine (Kharkov).
Today, announcements recruiting girls for schools or preparatory courses for ānoble maidensā are becoming ever more commonplace. The largest such institution is the Ministry of Defense of Russia Boarding School for Girls, which was founded in 2008.
This establishment uses as its inspiration pre-revolutionary āinstitutes for noble maidensā, leaving the old terms of enrollment, list of subjects, and daily schedules intact.
āThis type of school is adapted to the modern social environment. We donāt isolate the girls at all. We teach them things that are not taught in ordinary schools,ā said Yelena Venediktova, director of studies at the Academy for Noble Maidens attached to the Novosibirsk Cadet Corps. Such subjects include homemaking, social practices (etiquette, behaviour and so on), and choreography; girls from the school dance the waltz together at balls with boys from the Cadet Corps.
In contrast with pre-revolutionary noble maidens, modern ānoble maidensā prefer to continue their education, usually in the humanities or in the military field.
This is the key difference: The girls not only leave the instituteās walls as cultured women and homemakers, but they can also compete with graduates from general schools for university admission.
