Russia has been taking steps to cleanse themselves of sodomy these last few years, the biggest and more recent example of the law they passed last year that prohibits LGTBQIA+ marketing and same-sex marriages.
When the bill was signed Russian officials said this was done to prevent the influence of American and Western influence.
The decision will help protect our children, the future of the country from the darkness spread by the United States and European states. We have our own traditions and values.
There is no need to impose alien values on us. You destroyed yours – let’s see how it all ends, but it’s definitely sad, because it’s a Sodom – there’s no other way to say it – and the United States of America has become the center of this Sodom in the world. Let them live there, but don’t bother us.
Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin
Putin also acknowledged this in their version of the ‘State of the Union’ address in February, frowning upon the accepted American and Western values and how Russia is working to prevent that from becoming widespread in their country.
See what they do with their own peoples: destruction family, cultural and national identity, perversion, bullying of children, up to pedophilia, are declared the norm, the norm of their life, and clergy, priests are forced [to] bless gay marriage. God be with them, let them want, then they do. What do you want to say here? Adults have the right to live as they want, we have treated this in Russia and will always treat this like this: no one invades privacy, and we are not going to do this.
But I want to tell them: but look, excuse me, scriptures, the main books of all other world religions. Everything is said there, including the fact that the family – this is a union of man and woman, but these sacred texts are now in doubt. How it became known, the Anglican church, for example, plans – plans, though, so far only – to consider the idea gender-neutral god. What can you say? God forgive me, “[they] do not know what they are doing.”
Millions of people in the West understand, that they lead to a real spiritual catastrophe. The elites, I must say, are just going crazy, and this does not seem to be being treated anymore. But these are [their] problems, as I said, and we must protect our children, and we will do this: we will protect our children from degradation and degeneration.
Obviously the West will try shake and split our society, do betting on national traitors who at all times – want to emphasize this – the same poison of contempt for their own Fatherland and desire to earn on the sale of this poison to those who are willing to pay for it. It always has been.
Putin said
For more on this latest bill, Sputnik provides the details:
Russia has banned gender-reassignment surgery and hormone therapy in all cases except when allowed for health reasons.
President Vladimir Putin on July 24 signed a law banning gender change operations after the upper and the lower chambers of the Russian Parliament passed the legislation earlier this month. From now on, gender reassignment will only be allowed for medical reasons.
The new federal law bans medical interventions (including the use of drugs) aimed at changing the gender of a person, including the formation of sex characteristics of the opposite sex. Additionally, the law annuls a marriage if one of the spouses changes gender and bans a person from adopting children after gender reassignment.
The only exception will be medical interventions related to the treatment of congenital physiological anomalies, as well as genetic and endocrine diseases caused by an abnormal formation of the genitals in the childhood. These interventions will be allowed on the basis of decisions by medical commissions of organizations subordinate to the Russian Ministry of Health. Based on the results of these medical interventions, commissions will issue the medical reports necessary for changing civil status records.
The list of medical organizations, as well as the procedure for issuing decisions and medical reports with regard to gender reassignment, will be determined by the government of the Russian Federation.
Disorders of sex development (DSDs) are a group of rare conditions including chromosomal, gonadal, and anatomic abnormalities. These pathologies are caused by atypical development of the internal and external genital organs of the male and female reproductive system. Some of these conditions can be detected immediately after the birth of a child if his/her external genitalia have an altered structure. In other cases, the diagnosis is made later, if a person has a delay or absence of puberty, or abnormal secondary sex characteristics.
Was Gender Change Previously Allowed in Russia?
Between 2016 and 2022, almost 3,000 of Russian civilians changed their documents due to gender reassignment, according to Vice Speaker of the State Duma Pyotr Tolstoy. In 2022, there were 996 of those cases throughout the country.
In 2013, amendments to the law on the Russian registry offices were made. In Article 70 of the Law “On acts of civil status” a clause appeared that a change in the record of a civil status act due to gender reassignment could be made on the basis of a document issued by a medical organization.
In October 2017, the Russian Ministry of Health released an order on the issuance of a document on gender reassignment by medical organizations. According to the ministry, a medical commission which included a psychiatrist, a sexologist and a medical psychologist had to deal with issues of “sexual reorientation.” Prior to that, a psychiatrist provided a patient with a referral for the establishment of sexual reorientation after he/she was diagnosed with transsexualism.
Vice Speaker Tolstoy explained that certain provisions of the federal law will not apply to persons who underwent gender surgery before the day it comes into force.
The law does not have a retroactive effect with regard to those over 2,000 cases when this [gender change – Sputnik] was done in accordance with the [2017] order of the Ministry of Health.
The Duma vice speaker said.
When Was the First Gender Surgery Performed?
It is believed that first gender change-related surgery was performed by the Institute for the Sexual Sciences, founded by Magnus Hirschfeld in Berlin.
In 1926, the institute reportedly performed the first operation to remove the mammary glands of a woman who decided to change her sex. In 1930, the first penectomy, an operation to remove the penis, was carried out. Patient histories were not preserved.
Between 1930 and 1931, Lili Elbe – the other name of Danish painter Einar Wegener – underwent four sex reassignment surgeries in Berlin and died of post-operative complications at the age of 48.
Elmer Belt is believed to be the first US surgeon to have performed gender affirmation surgery in around 1950.
In the USSR, the first gender reassignment operation was performed by Viktors Kalnberzs, a surgeon working at the Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics, in the Latvian SSR, between 1970 and 1972. Kalnberzs was later criticized by the Ministry of Health of the USSR “for carrying out a mutilation operation that does not correspond to the structure and ideology of the state.”
Why Did Russia Ban Gender Reassignment Without Medical Reasons?
There are many instances when people have opted to have this life-altering surgery without any underlying physical conditions and then struggled to change back, as Vice Speaker of the Lower House of Parliament Vladislav Davankov stated during his speech on May 25. “We have prepared a bill that does not allow changing gender following a mere request by a person in this position,” he said.
Furthermore, Russian lawmakers noted that some private medical entities are profiting from different types of gender change-related surgeries without performing a thorough examination of their patients’ conditions.
An otolaryngologist at the reception asked a teenager who came to remove the tonsils if he wants to change sex! This is propaganda, in which a large number of doctors are involved.
Former head of the Duma Committee on Health Dmitry Khubezov told the Russian press on June 14.
These operations are not that expensive, making uncontrollable gender transition and subsequent psychological problems with teens and adults a common thing, Russian lawmakers warned.
Unfortunately, the Ministry of Health does not know how many such operations are being carried out. The price tag of the service does not exceed 30,000 rubles [$333].
Petr Tolstoy emphasized during his June speech before the Duma.
There is a heated debate concerning gender surgery and consequent de-transition in Western society, too. Conservative Westerners oppose the uncontrollable change of sex, complaining that liberal forces are pressuring their respective nation’s youth and minors into gender reassignment, sometimes without the consent of their parents.
According to a study published on the website of the US National Library in 2021, 61.9% of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people reported regretting that they had ever pursued “gender affirmation”, broadly defined. Of these, 13.1% reported a history of “de-transition.” In October 2012, a British media outlet cited a woman who detransitioned in 2018 and said there are hundreds of people who have had gender reassignment surgery who wish they hadn’t.
In May 2023, a poll commissioned by a US mainstream newspaper indicated that the majority (57%) of American adults believe gender is determined at birth while 43% said gender is malleable. Another 55% of US citizens told Gallup in June 2023 that it is “morally wrong” for individuals to attempt a gender transition, up from 51% in 2021. Forty three percent of polled Americans said that changing one’s gender is “morally acceptable”.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
Proverbs 25:25
Good for Russia, good for them.
Russia is certainly not perfect by any means, but compared to America and the rest of the West, this is a great and welcome step in the right direction.
Russia is going one direction and the U.S. continues to cascade downward, adding sin to sin. While the Russian leadership is just as bought and sold like all the rest – with Putin being a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and puppet of the Pope – the Lord’s favoritism will still go towards Russia, and other nations who repent of their wickedness and having no friendship with the West at this point.
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Proverbs 14:34
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

“The only exception will be medical interventions related to the treatment of congenital physiological abnormalities, as well as genetic and endocrine diseases caused by improper formation of the genitals in childhood.”
What “congenital anomalies, as well as genetic and endocrine diseases” can become “exceptions” for sex change?
Why are they not listed in the law?
Do you know many such
diseases?
Putin is a cunning forerunner of the antichrist, the beast.
Don’t be fooled.
Yes Georgy, Putin is a forerunner for the Antichrist.
While Russia is for sure an evil nation, but it has a lot more righteous standards than Great Satan America! Russia has been made this big bad boogeyman for so many years; the real boogeyman is America!
Praise the Lord!!!
Andrew. Putin is not a Russian people, Putin is separate. Putin, like Trump, loves Chabad. Chabad is Satanists.
Soon all the wicked will face off in war.
