Why Russia is about to decriminalise wife-beating

Anna Zhavnerovich does not agree that tolerating domestic abuse leads to strong families. A lifestyle journalist in Moscow, Ms Zhavnerovich had lived with her boyfriend for several years and discussed marriage. One night in December 2014 the conversation turned towards the possibility of breaking up. Her boyfriend proceeded to beat her black and blue. She managed to get him convicted after lawyers who read the account she published online came to her aid. “People think it can’t happen to them,” says Ms Zhavnerovich. “They hold on to an illusion of safety.”

Domestic violence has deep cultural roots. An old Russian proverb says: “If he beats you it means he loves you.” “Violence isn’t just a norm, it’s our style of life,” says Alena Popova, an advocate for laws against domestic violence. The scale of the problem is difficult to measure, but according to Russia’s interior ministry, 40% of violent crimes happen within the family. More than 70% of women who call the Anna Centre’s hotline never report their cases to the police. The practice of private prosecution, which forces victims to navigate bureaucratic obstacles, dissuades many. “It’s the circles of hell, it goes on and on,” says Natalia Tunikova, who tried unsuccessfully to prosecute the man she says abused her.

Nonetheless, awareness has been growing, partly thanks to grassroots efforts. “The idea that ‘it’s her fault’ is no longer accepted a priori,” says Ms Zhavnerovich. (Curiously, she supports the new law, believing that more women will come forward if they do not think their partners will be sent to Russia’s harsh prisons.) A social-media flashmob under the hashtag “IAmNotAfraidToSpeak” took off in Ukraine and Russia last year, with thousands sharing tales of abuse.

Russia’s ultra-conservatives are not afraid to speak, either. Elena Mizulina, a senator known for promoting laws against “gay propaganda”, has pushed the latest changes, saying that “women are not offended when we see a man beating his wife.” But decriminalisation fans also argue that family affairs are not the state’s business. “The family is a delicate environment where people should sort things out themselves,” says Maria Mamikonyan, head of the All-Russian Parents Resistance movement, which collected thousands of signatures supporting the measure.
 
Millions of Americans agree with you .
That's why they voted Trump .
 
Western propaganda is often so retarded.

Now that Trump instituted some measures that are unpopular with western feminists (and with myself too, btw), they make the case that by extension, Russia is a nation of wife beaters.

What's next? If Trump decides to cut funds for some other public or domestic things.
Will they say that russians don't like plumbing and they shit in the back yard?

They didn't need to be very good to guess Podestas password. If he hadn't. Just given to them it probably would have taken all of 10 minutes to guess his password was password

They just proved democrats cant be trusted withany type of security.
 
And Trump voters live in rural hellholes which are for the most part falling apart now.

Hell holes? Have you seen Chicago, LA and NYC lately? LMFAO.....


And no, rural America isn't falling apart, urban America is.

Nobody is rioting and setting lake Tahoe on fire......nobody is looting and beating up white people for being white in the Kooteni national forest....that's 100% metro shit hole action bruh. :)

Attempting to decriminalize to any extent violence against women is fucking uncivilized and down right barbaric!

Soviet communism locked Russia and much of eastern Europe into a 1930s frame of mind. Not much social and cultural advancement. Racism against the Roma (gypsies), violence against women, rampant nationalism and fascism. Eastern Europe will be 75 years behind the rest of Europe and the west in many respects for a few generations.
