I’m pretty sure this is true, he just signed it in. Fuck modern russia, give me back the soviets!
Also, remind the libs that putin is what they asked for. They got a post-soviet russia, how excellent, bet its working out for everyone involved.

Libs legit don’t get it. I’ve tried explaining this to some yanks and Euros I know elsewhere. Doesn’t work.
They still think Russia is Soviet. It’s so embarrassing.
There’s indeed such law - originally crafted under the pretense of “defending children” (because of course), it is now being expanded to include “propaganda among adults”. The wording of the law is somewhat vague, which is usually on purpose - so it can be used (or not used) whenever the need arises.
Now as to why this law exists and how bad it’s going to be - not sure at all. Many people (like the one in the linked image) naturally fear for their well-being, and frankly I can’t blame them. That said, the original “gay propaganda” law didn’t stop gay clubs, drag clubs and other such activities.
Most likely scenario - this is meant as an additional tool to be used against opposition (both legitimate socialist and western backed liberals). Same with the law against “offending religious sensibilities” and others.
Thanks for explaining, I figured it was true considering Purim’s outward dislike for anything LGBTQ+. Just wanted a bit more clarification considering twitter doesn’t allow that.
The first point is jumping the shark. I would wait for cases of application. Criminal code article about “hurting the feelings of the religious” (another dumbass one) sounds like it’s 50/50 that you’ll get jailed for speaking about religion at all, but it specifies public actions taken to insult the faithful.
The second point is about as nebulous as it sounds. Gotta wait and see what is gonna be considered propaganda. I doubt they will order the book stores to take Russian classics off the shelves for mentions of sexual minorities and there are some.
All in all it’s most likely something ike this.

In my city some “activists” have apparently raided book stores, searching for “gay propaganda”. I suspect it will be used as a tool for foreign media censure

Probably.

If you’re implying what I think you’re implying, don’t know if I can agree. Our government has all the subtlety of a jackhammer.

That’s true. I was thinking more in terms of non-government weirdos using it as an excuse. Remember Tesak?

Thankfully rotting in hell.
Man… That’s a shame. And it doesnt bode well for national security. Not a good idea to codify such things; giving minorities and excuse to be separatist and take the side of the west.
Again… Cuba is the example in my view. Cant have bullshit idpol color revolutions if everyone is included in the revolution. Ya dig?
