Nikolai Burlyaev, actor, director, People’s Artist of Russia, State Duma deputy and co-author of the bill banning LGBT and childless propaganda, in an interview with Lenta.ru accused The first President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, in the emergence of LGBT individuals in the country.
According to Burlyaev, the law adopted by Yeltsin contributed to this. “When Yeltsin’s 1993 law, at the risk of liberalization, deprived the state of the opportunity to influence cultural policy, pictures promoting gay relationships, transvestites, lesbians and other impropriety began to leak onto our screens,” the artist shared.
The deputy believes that the reasons for the adoption of the document should be clarified. “The time has come to deal with whether this was done in bad faith or was it permitted by our cultural liberal leadership, who forced us to live by Western patterns,” he said.
Presumably, we are talking about the law “Basics of the Cultural Legislation of the Russian Federation”, adopted by the Supreme Council of the country on October 9, 1992.
On July 18, a bill was introduced to the State Duma to ban the dissemination of “information about non-traditional relations”. According to lawmakers, “public approval and recognition” of such relationships poses a threat to a society comparable to the popularization of drugs. The authors of the amendments propose, among other things, to ban the issuance of distribution certificates for films that promote LGBT persons and deny the value of the traditional family. Previously, the ban only applied to gay propaganda among children and adolescents; The relevant law was passed in 2013. More details – in material “socialbites.ca”.
