Yea, well he is the short sided one.  The recenty civil rights violations enacted by his government are new - and probably to create an enemy to exploit to distract from his other problems.  It's ashame, I thought he was supposed to be a good guy.

 The video is about how gangs go targeting gay people in Russia and asalting them now because of the side effects of these kinds of laws.   It's only the beginning and It's very disturbing.   When you dehumanize people, violience always happens.

I think I saw that video. But I'm not sure how the "movement" "Okkupay-Pedofilyay" is targeting gay people, hence the name? They target practicing pedophiles. Goes without saying that's unlawful and absolutely doesn't help to rest their case. Majority attituded towards them is negative, official authorities position is justifiable -- criminals are sought and charged -- at least I never heard of any new cases since.

So what Russia, Russian authorities in general and Putin specifically have done so you're "boycotting" Olympics? So far Putin is right and you "doesn't really understand why you're doing it". Has smbd tore few pages out of your logical chain book: some mindf**ks lynching pedophiles > ... > boycott Sochi Olympics?

P.S. Here's the main figurant of the case (and ton of other cases) in the court room, has been expelled from Cuba and arrested earlier this year:

WRONG! You are wrong to imply that these adult victums looking for adults to date are any way connected to pedofiles.   A gay person dating another adult is nothing in any way like a pedofile.  Plus the overwhelming majority of pedos are hetero.  Much greater than the number of gay/strait people should attest.

Perhapse you should talk with you goverment why it's not avalible?

PS My Russian friends are going to start saying they are from Iraq because everyone hates what Russia is now because of the things Putin has done.  Putin makes Russia look an awful lot like Germany in the last 1930's.
