Unlike in previous Russian regimes, where it lingered on the periphery, homophobia is now positioned at the very heart of Putinism’s ideological self-presentation. Indeed, one of the climactic moments of Putin’s speech on his largest annexation was a homophobic accusation against the West, branding it as satanic:
“Do we want, here in our country, in Russia, to have ‘Parent Number One,’ ‘Number Two,’ ‘Number Three’ instead of mom and dad — have they completely lost their minds over there? Do we want our schools, starting from the early grades, to impose perversions on our children that lead to degradation and extinction? To drill into their heads that there are supposedly other genders besides women and men, and to offer them gender reassignment surgeries? Do we want all this for our country and our children? For us, all of this is unacceptable; we have a different future, our own future… Such a complete denial of humanity, the overthrow of faith and traditional values, and the suppression of freedom take on the characteristics of a ‘reverse religion’ — outright satanism.”
