What charges can be filed here?
What the fucking fuck?

Russia has been ramping up the crazy about Ukraine for a couple of months now, with a bizarre, patriotic, WWII-invoking misinformation campaign painting Ukraine as a land of apocalyptic Mad Max struggles between evil Ukrainian neo-Nazis and stalwart Russian heroes.
Mr. Zhirinovsky seems like a piece of work. And that's layered on top of the heightened emotions -- and the crazy alternate reality -- in Russia about Ukraine right now.
See what can happen when there's no freedom of speech? As in everything, repression breeds perversion.
Eh, we have crazy-talking molestation-obsessed politicians in the US too.
What the fucking fuck?
America's scummy rape commenters got nothing on Russia. Why do they tolerate this? Surely Putin would want to distant himself from this.
I think one of the things we forget is that Russia is not the West.Since the days of Czar Peter the Great, Russia has pined for cultural acceptance and respect from the West. Yet, somehow, they keep coming up with people like this guy, and Putin, with his tacit support of officially-sanctioned homophobia. Among other atrocities.
I don't have an answer.

In the middle east, we have finally come to realize that it is a different culture and to expect them to be just like us is foolish. And although Russia is an industrial society, believing that they are just like us, holding the same cultural values and having the same aspirations is equally foolish.
