Noted, thanks. But again, I'd point out that said POWs were not, and never did become, Whites.

Noted. I'd mention that 'stretching of the labia' as an explanation sort of goes against the theory about this being an urban myth, I assume.

I see. So - I'm guessing you had to watch the movies before writing the scene descriptions?
According to Russian Wikipedia it's doubtful if any such statue existed. It appears that a plaster statue of the dead Latvian officer was built in Moscow and then transported to this village to adorn his grave. But there is no credible testimony from any eyewitnesses and even no photograph of it exists - maybe it was just a cheap temporary statue and was thus destroyed by the elements with the passing of time. It's not even fully clear if Trotsky was actually there speaking at the funeral or if Köhler ever saw the tombstone himself. I'm guessing the grave itself succumbed to the forces of nature not that much later. See here.

The whole rebellion started when they had conflict with white loyalist Hungarian soldiers in Chelyabinsk, who went west along the same railway but west to fight for Austrian-Hungary.
Are you sure that this is what indeed happened? As far as I know, only very few if any Hungarian POWs joined the Whites. I'm guessing you're referring to POWs of the Austro-Hungarian Army who were released according to the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and decided to voluntarily return home (as the treaty did not mandate their forced repatriation) but not necessarily to rejoin the army.

I meant to suggest that this was in fact not a coincidence. I'm assuming some sort of cultural change had to happen for girls and young women to lose their ability and/or willingness to efficiently drop plausibly deniable hints, and third-wave feminism was probably driving this.

this is elders cargo culting rituals of their own youth without any of the attendant actual institutions needed to make them work
Are you referring to the bygone tradition of barn dances?

So boys-only schools are cooperating with girls-only schools to organize this sort of crap? How does this actually work?

Maybe it's not a good idea to ask this but why are you claiming that it's just an urban myth?

Do those decades happen to be the decades that passed since the emergence of third-wave feminism?
Every decision he makes just worsens the situation for everyone, that is for sure.
I’m guessing this would likely unintentionally turn the story into another 50 Shades... For the scenario you describe to be workable the love interest would have to transform from an attractive Chad into a clingey, icky, dangerous incel neckbeard, basically the female version of Nikki, because he needs to be repulsive for this to work. And that would render it all unrelatable.
