Russian security forces raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow Friday night, less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.

Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported.

Eyewitnesses told journalists that clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services. They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived.

    I don’t think either government is any better than the other. I don’t think either set of Nazis is any better than the other.

      Let’s get this perfectly straight:

      There are no nazis in Ukraine. Ukraine is not behaving like a fascist country. So your downplaying of Russia is crap. You’re making up a middle ground that doesn’t exist. To what end I don’t know, but I’m starting to think you’re not merely ignorant but actually have an agenda.
