What's happening to Russia's nascent gay rights movement is scapegoating, a long favored tactic of repressive Russian regimes to distract the populace away from the shitty state of affairs. Your life sucks? 100 years ago, beating up Jews was a great way to get out some frustration, the best part being that you wouldn't have to go to jail. Well, now that you can't do that to Jews without getting the whole world on your ass, gays are the next best thing.

And now, 20 years later, we are shocked, shocked that anything having even the slightest whiff of western liberal values is about as popular as smallpox in modern Russia.

What's happening to the nascent gay rights movement there is a small symptom of a much larger problem. Russia is a gangster state, and that's precisely the outcome that a bipartisan consensus of the best and brightest in Washington, DC wanted. Enjoy!
