While people who are scared of gays as if they’re some toxic living bioweapon coming after them and their children are usually despicable, keep in mind it was written by a person in their 70s. (I really really don’t want to defend them)

It is no one’s secret that propaganda of homosexuality as…a normal healthy lifestyle presents a major danger in modern Russian society. Legalization of homosexual lifestyle in Western countries leads to glorification [praise?] of sexual minorities’ behavior by means of mass information, and, as a consequence - transformation of social consciousness. [society’s consciousness?]
Additionally, in the Russian Federation the gay-lobby tries to spread its presence everywhere. It reigns supreme [no it fucking doesn’t] not only in show-biz and related spheres, but also…in politics. Such growth in influence of gay-community in recent times is explainable and natural [logical?]. In era of dissolution of major structures and systems (among which the USSR can be placed) various deviant and abominable [it says “odious”] personalities emerge onto the foreground, including from ranks of sexual minorities
In psychiatry two forms of homosexuality are distinguished: open (with active manifestation of same-sex attraction, [sexual?] relationships with persons of same sex) and latent form. The first form is the one dangerous for society.
In its essence, homosexuality is a gigantic threat to every normal person, which can endanger their children and grandchildren, thus ending his genus. And since in biological sense non-replication is the same as death in the end, then homosexuality is a deadly threat for the entirety of mankind.
Translation end.
Rest of article is filled with dread over decline of population, child abuse (cites Israeli doctor), “ruminations” on Ancient Greece; mentions USSR law against gays (article 154a in RSFSR criminal code, in later revisions - 121; punishment - 8 years prison tops, claims it was authorized by Stalin after report by Yagoda, idk); claims anti-gay law was cancelled in Ukrainian SSR on 12.12.1991. Later article makes shit up on reduction of age of consent in western countries, resorting to scare people w/ pedophilia.
End of article goes as follows:
“In light of above mentioned factors, we suggest to fill the existing blind spot in Russian law with legislation designed by us - “About changes in RF Codex of administrative crimes” (in part of establishing responsibility for public expression of nontraditional sexual relations), with which it is suggested to add new administrative responsibility for new violation in sphere of social ethics [morality?], associated with encroachment upon traditional social rules: public expression of nontraditional homosexual relations, consisting of public public demonstrations of their own warped sexual preferences in social spaces. Adoption of the bill will be directed towards strengthening public morals and health of our citizens.”
I believe it was a recording of a speech, given to pass a shit law. It took me like half an hour to translate this drivel, bruh. Not worth the effort.

Communist party of Russian federation yes?
Yes. Funnily enough, they’re not the only party we have with communism in name and official ideology. They’re just the oldest one. There’s also “Communists of Russia”, which split off some years ago, plus a number of others whose name eludes me. Plus some non-parliament, semi underground Orgs.
Well a party that doesn’t support gay freedom is one that doesn’t support workers freedom so I strongly insinuate that this CPRF does not represent the spirit of the former Soviet Union, I’m really hoping we don’t have fraternal relations with them. We condemn critically Cuba for this historical shit man like its like they studied Cuba and took all the bad parts.
They are literally the successors of the CPSU (КПСС, communist party of the Soviet Union). Their leader is Gennady Zyuganov, a name I’m sure you’ve heard of at some point. He ran against Yeltsin for president in the 90’s and had almost won.
You realize you can be named something and not embody the spirit of it. Amnesty international, cpusa, acp. Lenin would have shot all involved
One other org that I know is Workers’ Party of Russia (Рабочая Партяи России)
They require their members to study Marxism-Leninism and provide an opportunity to study it at a “Red University”. To understand dialectics better, I believe their members are also required to study Hegel. (in a translation of Hegel that is deemed not shit/not revisionist) IIRC they also helped organize some port workers’ strike.
One of their members is president of Fund of Worker Academy (Фонд Рабочей Академии, it’s supporting workers in education) M.V. Popov, who appears on media somewhat frequently. I think they know philosophy very well.
