In a strange twist of events, many Eastern European people love watching Dirty Dancing. Eleanor stated in a 2006 interview with The Guardian, “in Russia, it’s policy in the battered women’s shelters, when a woman comes in for help.

First, they wash and dress her wounds, then they give her soup. Then they sit her down and show her Dirty Dancing. When the Berlin Wall came down, there were all these pictures of kids wearing Dirty Dancing T-shirts; they were saying, ‘We want to have what they have in the West! We want Dirty Dancing!’”
