The 2013 Russian law against propaganda of so-called non-traditional sexual relationships criminalizes distribution of visual and reading materials
... causing minors to form non-traditional sexual predispositions, notions of attractiveness of non-traditional sexual relationships, ... or imposing information about non-traditional sexual relationships which raises interest in such relationships.
As with most things Russian, there is a palpably surreal aspect to this piece of legislation. After all, this is the country where propaganda posters and photographs of political leaders from its still cherished Soviet past include images like these:
 |
| The inscription reads: "Our army is the army of workers' liberation." J. Stalin |
 |
| Leonid Brezhnev, Secretary General of the Politburo, greets the East German leader Erich Honnecker |
