Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law banning adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where gender transition is legal, targeting at least 15 nations.
Additional legislation prohibits promoting child-free lifestyles, with fines up to $50,000, framing such views as part of Western efforts to weaken Russia.
These measures align with Putin’s push for “traditional values” amid population decline, including past bans on LGBTQ+ information and gender-transition procedures.
Critics view these moves as part of a broader crackdown on liberal ideologies and dissent, intensified since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Here goes my plan of mass adopting Russian children and making sure they know I love everyone, no matter how they identify themselves.
