Fashionable in mourning

In May, an article appeared in The Sun of Russia, a magazine for wealthy people, in which pre-war fashion criticism was combined with arguments about speculators and wasteful consumption. Its author N. Shebuyev began with the fact that the war years became a time of "insane extravagance", especially in large cities of Russia. The shortage of new models of dresses and fabrics has led some of the Russian women to become obsessed with fashionable clothes. Shebuyev was particularly annoyed by the idea that some ladies wanted to dress up in tinsel and rags when others were in mourning or in a nurse's uniform. Women were faithful to fashion "until they lost consciousness," as a result of which the Duma was going to impose a ban on the import of luxury goods. According to Shebuyev, one of the members of the Duma went so far as to declare luxury a crime. Even in Paris, the world's fashion capital, women prefer modesty to luxury. In Russia, the "reckless dressmakers" misinterpret the latest fashion, which their customers do not even realize. It is tailors who encourage ladies to dress extravagantly in order to get more money out of it. Thus, Shebuyev repeats Yelets' words about the insanity and emotional imbalance of women and accuses them of becoming easy prey for wartime speculators — tailors. The only way to stop these unscrupulous artisans and bring women back to a reasonable existence is to wage war against wasteful consumption. Without access to Western models, tailors will not be able to attract enough customers to pay for their work. From Shebuyev's point of view, women are enthusiastic, frivolous creatures who have no power over themselves. They are mindlessly giving themselves up to fashion, while their country is mired in a severe war. The real villains turned out to be tailors and seamstresses who had neither shame nor conscience. While Russian men were dying on the battlefield, the incomes of milliners were growing. That is why it was necessary to declare war on fashion and punish women and tailors.
Government officials had their own reasons for supporting the trade embargo. In order to assess the effectiveness of Bublikov's bill, the Council of Ministers created a special subcommittee. One of its members was M. Langovoy, who believed that Russia needed to impose a ban on imports from all countries, not just from Germany. For him, the goal of the war was to completely rid Russia of foreigners. Although the other members of the committee agreed with Langov, they were concerned about the consequences of the ban on goods from Russia's military allies, primarily France and Italy. However, although Russia violated trade agreements with both countries in this way, the committee members decided to turn a blind eye to this, declaring that the needs of wartime were above the previously concluded agreements. From the discussions held between representatives of various industries of priority for the government, it becomes clear that officials, as well as the entrepreneurs who proposed the bill, sought to establish a favorable balance in trade with Western Europe, reduce imports and provide greater protection to some industries at a time when Russia was transitioning from a wartime economy to a peaceful one existence. On September 13, 1916, the Council of Ministers approved
