In Soviet times, girls had a hard time. Their appearance was followed not only by the public, but also the government. If a woman violated the unspoken rules of the dress code, then especially attentive citizens could take her "where necessary". Remember the fashionable bans of the USSR, faced by every girl of that time.

The salons did not do bright colors, and it was a shame to even think about piercings and tattoos (read also: Soviet beauty actresses, who suffered because of their appearance).

Such free-thinking in appearance could only lead to the local police department.
