A new study being pushed by the Kremlin proves that Russians are just as stupid as Americans. 63% of Russians believe “there is a group of people who are trying to destroy the spiritual values ​​formed by Russians, through the propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations.”  As with American conspiracy theorists, the Russian government hasn’t shied away from promoting the conspiracy theory to use LGBT people as scapegoats for their own failings. Russia’s “gay propaganda” law prohibits anyone from “promoting homosexuality to minors.” So far, only a teenager who posted photos of shirtless men hugging on social media has been prosecuted and convicted under the law.
