Putin protects Russias proud traditions against encroaching vile western degeneracy

Quote:

Vladimir Putin has signed into law a controversial amendment that decriminalises domestic violence. The amendment, which sailed through both houses of Russian parliament before Tuesday’s presidential signing, has elicited anger from critics who say that it sends the wrong message in a country where one woman dies every 40 minutes from domestic abuse. From now on, beatings of spouses or children that result in bruising or bleeding but not broken bones are punishable by 15 days in prison or a fine, if they do not happen more than once a year. Previously, they carried a maximum jail sentence of two years. ... Others claim the law is about protecting Russian traditions according to which the family is sacred. Priest Dmitry Smirnov, head of the Russian Orthodox Patriarchy’s commission on family matters, said on a television programme that the idea the state should be able to poke its nose into family affairs was a western imposition on Russia. “Some of the things happening in northern Europe now are such that even Hitler couldn’t have dreamed them up,” he said. Some of the mainstream discussion around gender and domestic violence in Russia can be shocking. An article last week in the science section of the popular tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda cheerfully told readers about an “advantage” of wife-beating. It said: “Recent scientific studies show the wives of angry men have a reason to be proud of their bruises. Biologists say that beaten-up women have a valuable advantage: they more often give birth to boys!” Popova said that during her one-woman protest outside parliament, various people had insulted her. Some had claimed she was paid to protest by western governments, while others told her that some women simply deserved to be beaten, she said.

Russia is a terrible country to live in but a great country to die in. Unfortunately all the terrible things that happen there have a tendency to seep out and pollute neighboring countries.

Instead of trying to fight the things that keep their people prone to violence and alcoholism the authorities are fine with keeping these proud Russian traditions in place. Evidently trying to make your people better, healthier and more prosperous is one of those utterly disgusting non-orthodox values that have no place is Russia.
