DoomsdaysCWHmmmm... Why am I having <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DejaVu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DejaVu</a>? From 2022: "Vladimir <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Putin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Putin</a> has mentioned 'gender freedoms' more than once to justify <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a>’s war against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> and simultaneously crack down on its own citizens."Most directly, he alleged that Russian citizens who seek '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenderFreedoms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenderFreedoms</a>' (alongside foie gras and oysters) are part of the anti-Russian 'fifth column.'"Gender and sexuality freedoms — or rights, as they are more typically called — are about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BodilyAutonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BodilyAutonomy</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diversity</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/inclusivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inclusivity</a>. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Feminist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Feminist</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LGBTQ</a>+ activists assert that every human being deserves respect, recognition and equal rights regardless of their gender or sexuality."What’s the connection between Putin’s animosity toward Ukraine and toward <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gender</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sexuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sexuality</a> rights in Russia and around the world? Gender and Putin’s regime"Putin’s regime has increasingly relied on very conventional gender and sexual norms."When he first ascended to the presidency, image-makers used Putin’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KGB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KGB</a> background and penchant for physical fitness to frame him as a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/macho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macho</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strongman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strongman</a> who could reverse Russia’s waning power and 'remasculinize' the country after a decade of supposed geopolitical flaccidity in the wake of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Soviet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Soviet</a> collapse. "In other words, an inflexible and clearly <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/patriarchal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#patriarchal</a> notion of masculinity has been central to the Putin regime’s legitimacy."Russia’s foreign policy has relied on rigid gender norms as well. When Ukraine underwent its first pro-democracy revolution in 2004, Russian media questioned its leaders’ masculinity."Putin likewise used homophobic terms to dismiss <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Georgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Georgia</a>’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RoseRevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RoseRevolution</a> in 2003, responding to a reporter’s question by saying: 'A rose revolution — next they’ll come up with a light blue one.' In Russian, 'light blue' or goluboi is slang for “gay male.” Gender and appealing to constituencies"Putin has often been represented as the unquestioned leader of the pack ruling Russia — a masculinity-driven image."However, even as the leader of a personalist <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dictatorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dictatorship</a> — a regime in which there are few institutional limits on the leader’s power — Putin must balance competing interests among significant elites and maintain at least the appearance of public support in order to be considered a legitimate ruler."Until 2020, Putin was using gendered language in his speeches to signal his alignment with a variety of elites and public constituencies that supported him. He was sending mixed signals to both relatively progressive Russians who value women’s roles in the workplace and to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/conservatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conservatives</a> wishing for a return to '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalFamilyValues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TraditionalFamilyValues</a>,' in order to keep everyone in his camp."But after July 2021, when he published an essay contending Ukrainians and Russians are a single people, Putin no longer shied away from making sexist and LGBTQ+-phobic comments in prominent settings."At an October 2021 meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club — a Moscow-based think tank and discussion forum that Putin is closely associated with — he said teaching children about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenderFluidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenderFluidity</a> was 'truly monstrous' and 'verging on a crime against humanity.'"

(Though I wonder what <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> will do with his openly <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gay</a> cronies and a Veep who likes to dress in drag?

The nightclub, which is called <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pose</a>, has never explicitly identified as a gay club – styling itself as a 'parody theatre bar', it hosted parties with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DragQueen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DragQueen</a> artists and go-go dancers as entertainment."In a press release announcing the arrest, the court said that as the owner of the club, Khasanov organised participation in an extremist organisation, 'acting as the leader of an organised group of persons by prior conspiracy'. The specific actions included organising the work of such premises, and publishing photos and videos from performances 'promoting non-traditional sexual relationships and preferences'. Khasanov was arrested at the airport when trying to flee the country."His arrest followed the arrest and detention of two of his employees. The club’s art director, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlexanderKlimov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AlexanderKlimov</a>, and administrator <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DianaKamelyanova" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DianaKamelyanova</a> were arrested and sentenced to two-months pre-trial detention for, the Orenburg court said, 'promoting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nontraditional" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nontraditional</a> sexual relations among the visitors of the bar.'"Read more: <a href="https://theconversation.com/putins-russia-first-arrests-under-new-anti-lgbt-laws-mark-new-era-of-repression-226864" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/putins-russia-first-arrests-under-new-anti-lgbt-laws-mark-new-era-of-repression-226864</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorldPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GBLTQRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GBLTQRights</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GBLTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GBLTQ</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Repression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Repression</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RudolfHess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RudolfHess</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hypocrisy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hypocrisy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MAGA</a>
