ON PUTIN’S BLACKLIST
How an adoption ban of Russian orphans to US citizens came about and was the first step in Russia’s new Cold War with America.
We present the reality of how an adoption ban of Russian orphans to US citizens came about and how it was the first step in Russia’s new Cold War with America. Soon enough this adoption ban was expanded to all countries that allow same-sex unions and combined Kremlin’s anti-adoption campaign with anti-LGBT, claiming that gay individuals are a foreign import and that “propaganda” of such lifestyle is illegal. Next victims were the NGOs and Human Rights Groups followed by Russian opposition. Finally, all this spiraled into a crusade to vilify all opposition leaders as puppets of Western governments. Anyone on Putin’s Blacklist is labeled as American spy, a foreign agent controlled by Western intelligence agencies with the aim of destroying Russia. This is how Putin is able to control the populace, by creating enemies for Russians to hate. With Donald Trump as president, the world is staring at an unclear future. Can Russia reverse its trajectory of persecuting opposition and vilifying the West or will Donald Trump accept Russia as it is and legitimize Putin’s regime.
