Yeah let's hope the chemical weapons are locked up for the duration.

Worst Pride Month ever

and how many posting on this thread have been to Russia and can speak from experience rather than hearsay?

As a straight bloke who has visited there many times, i have seen many openly gay female and male couples who are perfectly accepted and don't have any issues. That's my experience. Russia is a huge country and there may be problems in some parts, I can believe that, but I haven't witnessed it.

Bollox. Law can be wrong and should be changed. Otherwise we'd never have progress
With your argument we'd have no suffragettes or black civil rights movement

whilst I admire PT and what he has achieved you also have to realise that holding a WC in Russia will do so much more for this cause as it helps Russians see other cultures and people and opens their minds to the possibility that their way may not be the best.

Russia is beyond redemption under Putin. He rigged the elections, there was evidence on TV for everyone to see! They didn't even bother trying to hide it because they did what they always do... they denied it. Putin's main opponent wasn't allowed to stand, they have MASSIVE problems with organised crime and homophobia is on the rise. I mean... the evidence against Putin is there and yet people are still buying his bullsh*t?!?!?

The World Cup does give the world a window on Russia. What a good job Putin had enough money to make sure FIFA saw it the same way.

Of course
But this is RUSSIA
not the UK

For Fecks Sake
your views are not Valid in Putin's Russia


PURE LOGIC.

Yes its Putin's Russia
He has total control.

And yet far from other world leaders becoming less authoritarian they are lurching further and further right.

what is your evidence?

Define fascist.
