You didn't explain shit. Putin had free control over these laws, openly stated that LGBT people should be exterminated/removed for more than a decade, and then did exactly that through law and violent policing.
"Muh foreign propaganda did this" you people are insane
Ooooh fuck right off lmao. My country is also full of tradconservatives and they don't hunt us,jail us or silence us for complete extermination on a both governmental and mainstream cultural level. Russian culture and laws are extremely right-wing, and keep getting worse. Stop finding excuses for your delusions. You're defending a right-wing, state-capitalist dictator for fucking what, my dude? The sucking of boots here is insane.
