A court in the central Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod has jailed a woman for wearing rainbow earrings, the human rights group Egida reported late Wednesday, marking the second case of its kind after Russia banned the so-called “LGBT movement” as an “extremist” organization in November. According to Egida, law enforcement agents tasked with combating “extremism” detained the woman after a group of “aggressive people” approached her and her friend at a local cafe and filmed them on camera.
Why would anyone here give Russian critical support? This site confuses me
They are currently fighting against NATO and western imperialism. That’s gotta be worth something, even if their domestic laws suck and I would not want to live there.
They have little to no hostility with socialist countries for one thing. They’re a good trade partner with a lot of the global south and they’re starting to pull out of normal relations with Israel . Russia’s UN ambassador last year called Israel an “occupation.”
Domestically they’re about the same as any other capitalist oligarchy from what I know, plus they have a bunch of reactionaries in high levels of power which sucks. At least they don’t have mass shootings like where I live.
We (they) just had our first ever female perpetrated school shooting a couple months ago actually
Critical is an important word in that phrase
The us is the global imperial hegemon. Russia winning a war against the us will not make Russia the new hegemon, but instead destroy the current unipolar system. It will make it more feasible for leftist movements to develop across the world.
Acknowledging this state of affairs does not mean you have to believe Russia is a “good guy”

This site confuses you only because deprogramming a lifetime of being steeped in imperialist propaganda can be hard. Part of that deprogramming is recognizing that almost everything Russia is doing internationally is good and worthy of support, including fighting US imperialism/NATO and Ukrainian banderite fascists.
