It all started with the Russian government making it illigal to talk about queerness amongst children, which was greatly celebrated by the homophobic majority back in the day. Later, they made it punishable for queer adults to publicly share their stories amongst other adults too, which was also celebrated.

On 30th November of 2023, the "lgbtq+ organization" was titled as "extremist", along with all the pro-Ukranian and anti-war organizations, which led to radical, aggressive censorship of all media in Russia. Then, big western social media were banned, along with monetization on them, which made activism for queer/pro-Ukrainian Russians even more difficult than it used to be, as it's required to dox yourself to the government by putting your "content creator" number (obtained from the official public services app "Госуслуги" by giving your sensitive information) in your BIO to get monetized legally. That has affected the right to privacy of not only Russian activists, but also of every Russian content creator.

12 days ago, on September 1st, 2025, they published a new law that punishes those who GOOGLE SEARCH unfavorable information about the government, "extremist" media, or anything that might suggest opposition to the Russian government and its actions. It's not just illegal to "seem" anti-war, or pro-gay, or pro-trans anymore — It's the MINDSET that's being criminalized right now. It's illegal to QUESTION, it's illegal to RESEARCH, it's illegal to INFO CHECK, it's illegal to EDUCATE YOURSELF, it's illegal to even TRY to FIND OUT THE TRUTH, even if you're doing it ON YOUR OWN.

So when I tell you,

It's NEVER about your safety and it's NEVER about "the kids",

Small Ukraine war update, looks like USA is trying to forment a Color Revolution in Russia... again.

First and foremost, Navalny is not going to lead an Euromaidan in Russia. Russia has less population density and more well-organized state than Ukraine, so this sort of color revolution is functionally impossible forever. 

Current constitution allows Putin to remain in power until 2036, and it is entirely possible he might remain in power after that either through another constitutional referendum or by becoming the PM again.

The rumors of a successor are obviously going to be untrue as well, despite the wetdreams of the pro-Russian left.

Now that is over, let’s go back to Biden’s role with Russia. The Democrats have one foreign policy goal and one foreign policy goal only, and that is finalizing the end of Russian hegemony in eastern Europe and later the full integration of the continent to EU and NATO. They almost accomplished that goal except Belarus, and Biden has no ammunition to restart that fire.

That said, Belarus situation will likely heated up by US after when/if Harris gets sworn in 2025, but Dems will likely wait and see new constitution.

Other political goals, such as consolidating the pro-Western governments in Eastern Europe and Balkans will require robust EU support, which isn’t happening until after Montenegro joins in 2025/2026. So this will overshoot Biden’s term.

For Russia’s war agenda in the short one-term presidency of Biden, it seems they will be focused on chasing Islamists in East Africa to help China and France. While Russia will continue to be involved in its current conflicts, much like Turkey, it will return to Africa to reap the benefits of the rising population of Muslims to play hot potato with Islamists and Turkey (Islamists will be the hot potato).

Russia will be vary of further integration into Latin America much like other European countries due Trump’s legacy of returning to the Monroe Doctrine, but they will keep their current alliance with Nicaragua and Venezuela, as well as economic alliance with Paraguay and now isolated Bolsonaro. Nonetheless, Russia will return to the region alongside rest of Europe when/if Harris is inaugurated.

Russia’s primary domestic policy of becoming a high-income economy probably won’t materialize until 2029 at the earliest, and their secondary objective of becoming the largest European economy in terms of nominal GDP depends on a mythical commodity boom which likely won’t exist throughout Biden’s presidency. Russia is also unlikely to annex any new territory throughout Biden presidency to solve its declining population, so don’t think about Northern Kazakhstan for the time being.
