It’s impossible to accurately talk about homo/transphobia in Russia (i.e. how it got this bad without resorting to liberal tautologies about Authoritarianism and the Slav Mind or wtf ever) without paying attention to a variety of historical and political processes, namely:

- The collapse of state atheist socialism and the subsequent power vacuum it created which was filled by extreme reactionary nationalists, the Orthodox Church, outright fascists, etc. with the help and behest of the United States and global capital because it facilitated the neoliberalization and resource extraction of the former USSR.

- Right-wing USAmerican Christian/missionary groups spending huge amounts of money and influence trying to get queer antagonist legislature passed and working in concert with the Orthodox Church and other religious groups in Russia, similar to what they did in Uganda and other African countries.

- The deliberate use of LGBTQ rights (as well as women’s rights) as a geopolitical cudgel by the United States, the infiltration of grassroots activist orgs by NED money to effectively turn them into US state actors, homonationalist currents in Ukraine (you know the country they’re literally at war with), and other geopolitical processes which encourage the Russian state to treat LGBTQ people existing as a national security threat and define itself in Manichean opposition to the (perceived) gender/sexual politics of its geopolitical rivals.

- The global cultural hegemony of the United States/anglophone culture in general and the subsequent export of all of our culture war BS to literally every corner of the planet. It’s no coincidence Russia is banning transition right at the same time the moral panic about trans people is at its height here in “the West”, just as it wasn’t a coincidence they passed the “gay propaganda” law when the panic about gay marriage was at its height.

It’s going to keep getting worse btw, not just in Russia but around the world, so long as LGBTQ rights are tied to neoliberalization and USAmerican global hegemony - literally the most unpopular political current in the entire world - and not an anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist politics of liberation.
