Russian police raided several bars and nightclubs across Moscow on Saturday as part of the government’s crackdown on “LGBTQ+ propaganda,” state media reported.

Smartphones, laptops and video cameras were seized, while clubgoers had their documents inspected by officers, Russia’s Tass news agency said, citing sources in law enforcement.

The raids come exactly a year since Russia’s Supreme Court ruled that the “LGBTQ+ movement” should be banned as an “extremist organization."

Putin should be more worried about Ukraine. Fuck Putler

This is about Ukraine.

You raid places where military age males congregate, lock as many as you can up on whatever chargers you can, then offer them a deal. Or just ship them out. What are they going to do about it?

Isn’t autocracy grand?

Putin isn’t worried about having the gays in his army?

They probably won’t be in the army for long.
