Vladimir Putin has signed a decree allowing foreigners who share Russian spiritual and moral values to apply for temporary residence
The presidential decree grants the right to apply for a temporary residence permit without considering the established quota and without submitting proof of Russian language proficiency or knowledge of Russian history.
The document applies to those coming from countries that impose destructive neoliberal principles that contradict Russian traditional values. According to the decree, the list of such countries will be determined by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
They want queerphobic chuds, literally that’s the whole thing.
That’s sadly what it is. I wanted a Russian source on this, and the RT article I linked in a comment basically says exactly that. It talks about the banning of gender reassignment surgery, banning of LGBT “propaganda” (whatever the fuck that means), and a weird thing about banning the promotion of child-free sentiment. It’s such a shame…
It’s just a sobering reminder that Russia is still a reactionary capitalist state even if they are fighting against imperialism.
