During a meeting in Tula featuring children’s ombudsman Anna Kuznetsova, homosexual teens were called “faggot kids,” reports Kommersant newspaper
Denis Davydov, director of the Safe Internet League, made the statement. Speaking at the meeting, he talked about the harassment organized against psychologist Lydia Matveeva. Her expert opinion had contributed to banning the [online] community Deti-404 (Children 404), which had helped gay children.
“Maybe you remember the website where underaged faggot kids held up signs and promoted this lifestyle?” said Davydov.
The remark provoked laughter in the auditorium. Davydov continued his speech, emphasizing that sects, “psychocults,” promotion of dangerous behavior and alternative realities, computer games, and “aggressive information” posed the main risks on the Internet to children.
Kuznetsova suggested tightening Article 110 of the Russian Federal Criminal Code (“Incitement to Suicide”) by adding a paragraph to the article that would outlaw “inclining minors to suicide” by virtual means.
In turn, Nikolai Abramov, deputy head of Roskomnadzor‘s Tula office, proposed leaving Russia with three to five access points to the world Internet and filtering all data through these points.
On September 9, President Vladimir Putin dismissed Pavel Astakhov from the post of presidential envoy for children’s rights and named Anna Kuznetsova to the post.

The Russian Reader 
Wow. I see bigotry is alive and well in Russia. But that’s not really news. =/
It is news when the ombudsman for children’s rights is involved in it.
Ah, good point!
But that’s not what I meant. I meant bigotry in Russia is not new, not that the issue was not worthy of making the news. Perhaps you took my comment too literally.
Actually, this state-sponsored, top-down bigotry is quite new. There was none of it during the Yeltsin era, and much less of it during the first years of the Putin regime. But since Putin decided to become the international “white pride” tsar, so to speak, it has become state policy. http://thediplomat.com/2016/10/beyond-trump-and-putin-the-american-alt-rights-love-of-the-kremlins-policies/
