I agree.
And it hasnt changed because its a mentality thing.
Its what makes Russian girls really different from others, even most Ukrainan girls.
I agree about the network. Somebody has to start shooting a good quanity of scenes again, proof it works in Piter and others will move there again as well. Talent pool will be smaller at the beginning and later up to 2011 norm again. LP being the first real player now, however, should avoid some old Piter time mistakes, i.e. set up professional porn agencies. Not sure its in their genuin interest, though. But the biz would benefit a lot.
Whatever system chosen to channel willing girls into porn they have to set on-set sex act standarts high from the very start to prevent spoiled talent.
Pricing...its not just a speculation! Prices sure didnt get down since 2011 and agent-pimps sure are spoiled meanwhile. Of course they can set up all from zero, but they still need old working contacts there. So go, figure! Biggest expense are not girls, but all the rest needed. This is expensive in Russia. But I am sure that for many reasons - last but not least the Buda blockade - it will pay over a periode of Piter re-investment time.
Quality can get even higher than 2011 of course, but only time will proof. Male talent is a crucial factor here, too, not only technical possibilities.
To sum it up: Russian girls are different and they are made for the demanding LP hardcore porn approach. LP please go for it again, I cant wait!!!!
Btw, about LA and Prague: LA is a marketing decision to sell more and fine so. Prague would loose a lot as porn destination if they would close it down, but given the forced exile memory they wont do that. Czech/Slovak girls finally can work fine on LP sets, but talent pool is too small for a large company.
