He followed that up with a number of small asks ("wanna walk around the block - I live here in this building", "want to stop by an ice cream shop for a treat"), that each one, in itself, felt like it would be absurd to say no to it. Until I found myself in his bed. Ice cream shops served champagne

back then in St-Petersburg/Leningrad at the time, and he made sure to get me a glass in each of the 2-3 we stopped by. I was traumatized for life and didn't even walk through that park again for the next 3 years, and to him it was no big deal. (I ran into him there 3y later.)

I am so sorry. I'd say that in my experience, Russia (USSR in my case) is still the most toxic place on all of these issues by a mile. My parents wouldn't let me walk home by myself from metro at 12-14y in what was considered a good area.

I'm so sorry, Masha.

💔 I’m so sorry. You did not deserve any of that.

Horrible! This is such textbook predation, the small asks taking advantage of your politeness, building up to a big imposition and eventually assault. He probably did it to others too.
