VIDEO: Women Walk with Irons Instead of Pets in Russia

Footage continues to circulate on social media from Russia, showing women walking with irons instead of pets. Psychologists say this is a form of training. “This helps many relax and free themselves of complexes; the person is, so to speak, smoothing out their problems,” said clinical psychologist Inessa Moiseenko to RIA Novosti.

She noted that reactions from passersby vary—some feel annoyed or puzzled, but more often people express positive emotions and even want to join in.
