Russian security forces raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow Friday night, less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.
Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported.
Eyewitnesses told journalists that clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services. They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived.

Russia has been doing and undoing itself the whole history. Meanwhile, who suffers? The minorities. You could compile a list of cultures they destroyed across Siberia, the Pontic Steppe and the Caucasus. And this process is still ongoing.
History is destined to repeat itself…
