      Not all ex-communists states are going backwards though.
      Quite a few are making progress. Granted, it is slow, and they’re a long way behind the rest in the ‘west’, but it is still progress, and we shouldn’t belittle them over it.

  4. Shocking. I didn’t expect to read something like this in 2012. I wonder what motivates the people who push to pass laws like this. Yes, homophobia, of course, but such a violent over-reaction is incomprehensible.

    1. Most in people in Russia probably believe that homosexuality is a mental illness designed by the west. What do you expect ???

      The thing with the Russian Supreme Court is that we don’t know for sure that they are homophobic, though they probably are biased (I know of only the chief justice there who is definitely homophobic). The court is fully under the sway of Putin & Co, so we don’t get to know their actual thoughts and feelings. Russia does not have a truly independent judicial system.

    Is there a summary or translation of the judgment available online somewhere?

    The triumph of ignorants with power. We still beat a path to Arabia and China, too… which makes me wonder why commerce is totally separate from conscience…

    Do they actually export anything? I can only think of Sekonda watches and
    Vodka. As for going there i wouldn’t even for a free ticket.

  11. What are is the current male ‘elite’ trying to hide, one wonders? Statistically most paedophiles are likely to be middle aged heterosexual men – like Russia and Ukraine’s leaders, for example;)
