Russia Blocks U.N. Council Bid To Thank Ban Ki-Moon For Gay Rights Work

Quote:

Russia prevented the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday from thanking outgoing Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon specifically for promoting gay rights during his decade in office, diplomats said.

I don't get why Russia would expend political capital like that. Don't they want to be seen as more pro-gressive and not regressive?
