They knew exactly what you though about the Twin Robots 🤨📸⏩Subscribe Here!⏩https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEUcAxvmS28SZo__tFNK9Dw/?sub_confirmation=1 Wha...
this is horrible and the soviet union would not stand for it. unironically. :ussr-cry:
they took great fucking pride in the fact every citizen got to experience and have the ability to participate in the fine arts. even debates about robot sentience or moralism aside (which they definitely would be having), turning robotic ballerinas into prostitutes would be such a conscious replication of the way capitalist countries treat artists, it's unimaginable anyone would approve. accusations of sexual promiscuity amongst the communists are the oldest anticommunist tropes in print when the reality is we're as likely to have a heated debate at the orgy as an orgy at the party meeting
In capitalist countries, about 100 years ago the artistic community decided it had had enough of the filthy commoners and decided to exclude them from art. Permanently. Today, it's not getting better, it's getting worse.
Art simply isn't a part of anyone's lives any more. Unless you're well-off and have pretty much run out of things to buy. Then you fill that hole in your life with art buying and people kissing your ass because you're a "patron of the arts".
It is pretty clear that despite his accomplishments the Politburo fucking hates Sechenev and thinks he's a disgusting amoral monster and dangerous lunatic. Molotov in particular is thoroughly sick of his shit by the beginning of the game.
I mean in terms of the timeline: you get a glimpse of Molotov chewing him out after you get back to the surface and it's clear it's been going on for a while by that point. I think there are other indications the Politburo had been fed up with the creepy mad scientist shit going on in the facility for a long time later too, including the revelation that
plot spoiler
Petrov was whistleblowing the shit going on in the facility to the Politburo, which is why Sechenev framed him for treason in the first place.
I'm not sure where it's going from there, since I haven't had a chance to keep playing after starting the drill mode and the long cutscenes that followed, but that's the state of it in the early game at least.

:blob-no-thoughts: oh i'll never play the game & dont know any of the context lol. i dont like first-person exclusive games
Oh the people making the prostitute bots are painted as absolute pieces of shit (and antithetical to Soviet ideals) in in-game texts.

And they were prostituting the human ballerinas before the robots were a thing too
