From Russia With Love? Newspaper Coverage of Cross Border Prostitution in Northern Norway, 1990-2001
application/pdf iconSTENVOLL-RUSSIA.pdf

This article examines national news reports on prostitution of Russian women in northern Norway between 1990 and 2001.

Images of prostitutes, pimps and customers are also discussed.
