LGBTQ+ people in Russia definitely don’t like their leader. Just keep in mind that Putin isn’t as great as you’re trying to paint him for many minority groups in Russia. I get what you’re saying, but critical support and all that.

I mean yeah, it’s a liberal democracy and comes with all the problems of liberal democracy - the racism, ableism, homo and transphobia etc are all features of the system - but he did bring economic security back to a lot of people, which secured their approval. He’s not a good person for it, it’s just the material basis for his popularity.
